I wrote several letters to Points Of View in 1983 and none of them were read out. They were really good for a 10-year-old as well.

A friend of mine wrote a letter to Points Of View when she was sixteen, and it was read out on air. However any pride she might have felt at this towering achievement was completely negated by the fact that they got a six-year-old girl to read it out. As you can imagine, she never lived this down at school.

Did her life fall apart and slide into drink, prostitution etc? I can well imagine.

Jon we all know that is a blatent plug of your age. You just want the forum to know how young and buxom you are.

What's wrong with that?

And how old are you, granny?

I'm not one for such role playing games Jon. I just will not let you project your idolised sexual figures on to me.

You don't like the kinky stuff then?

She does. She's being dominant.
Jon, that makes you submissive in this case.

As she said herself, "condescension is sexy".

Anonymous I am priveledged that you would take the time to quote me. As it happens I wasn't being dominant. I just don't think I could live up to the sexual libido of Jon's granny.

>I just don't think I could live up to the sexual libido of Jon's granny.

Well, Jesus, who could?

Anonymous, I may speak wise words but you don't have to call me Jesus.

The Lord of Nassereth (?) will do just fine.

>you don't have to call me Jesus.

Well now I am questioning what you find kinky. Do you enjoy biblical eroticism? I can get into a position I call Noah's Arch. Make your own 'two at a time' joke.

You've made Mogwai choke... quick, someone revive him...

(coughs) Thanks, that's much better... I always hated that bastard Heimlech anyway.

Very irritating little tache he had - a bit like the current presenter of Points of View

...and the previous one

Who is the current presenter? I haven't seen it in a while.

I think that question should be "WHAT is the current presenter of Points Of View".

Oh, so now *you're* being the dominant one...

Dear BBC,

Thank you for <Insert BBC programme title>. It really was the best show since <Insert other BBC programme title>. Isn't <Insert name of paid BBC celeb> the best person on television today. I will pay my licence fee immediately!

Dear BBC,

Thank you for "Western Front". It really was the best show since "Brimstone And Treacle". Isn't Rhona Cameron the best person on television today. I will pay my licence fee immediately!

Yours

Like that, you mean?

Saw Vanessa on BBC1 today fronting an afternoon quiz. I almost didn't recognise her, she's lost so much weight.

She's very scary.

I try to avoid shows featuring her for fear of contracting Jacob's Cream Cracker Disease...

Quotation Marks with Vanessa Feltz - possibly the worst program every to occupy the midday slot - they should bring wipeout back.
Is it just me, or does Vanessa lot a hell of a lot worse now that she's 'thin'. To be honest, it about time she was involved in a controlled explosion, and put us all out orf our misery - that's not too harsh is it?

It's points of view still shown? It's scheduling is so terrible, it shows the contmept BBC has for it's viewers - obviously so intereasted in our opinions, they have to hide the show where no one will find it - but, hey, if someone complains the BBC don't listen to the public, they can always mention points of view..

"Saw Vanessa on BBC1 today fronting an afternoon quiz. I almost didn't recognise her, she's lost so much weight."

What, you mean you could just see a bit of the quiz behind her?

>What, you mean you could just see a bit of the quiz behind her?

'arf, 'arf! I think a controlled explosion would be the kindest thing.

For her, for Points Of View, or for BBC1 as a whole?

Resounding yes to the first two, POV was never the same after Barry Took went. BBC could do with being blown out though, I have to admit...

Just remembered...

Does anyone else remember seeing a Took-fronted Points Of View, probably about 83-84, where they read out a letter from a viewer regarding BBC1's "Paul Squire, Esquire"? The line they quoted ran:

"Paul Squire, Esquire" is suitable viewing only for flids, cretins and morons."

Is this the most un-PC Points Of View letter ever?

(For younger readers - and probably almost all older ones too: Paul Squire was an impressionist who lasted about three years in early 80s peak time on ITV, then BBC. He was appalling (and inspired Rik to do an impersonation of him on The Young Ones), but probably didn't deserve the above.)

Paul Squire is one of the great mythical figures of my childhood. If it weren't for the Young Ones, I would have thought I'd imagined him, because no one else seems to know who I mean whenever I mention him. I'm pretty sure it was "Paul Squire, Esq." on BBC1 first, followed by "PS. It's Paul Squire" on ITV. And Rik got his name wrong in "Summer Holiday", adding an 's':

RIK: I was Paul Squires!

MIKE, VIV, NEIL: Who??

That just reminded my of a guy I went to University with, who, when enrolling, filled in his name as Jawad Yaqub Joya Esquire.

They then printed off a student card with Mr J. Esquire written on it!

If you knew the guy, you'd laugh!
