SUNDAY 20 NOVEMBER 1983 THE OBSERVER'S TELEVISION AND RADIO GUIDE 1 1 Back in the old cattle-market ITV LONDON WEEKEND DBC1 THERE were rumours that this year's by JULIAN BARNES Miss World (ITV) was going to be different that the girls, while walking in a straight line towards the whites of the judges' eyes, would also be able to chew gum at the same time. Fat alas it was the same old run of empty smiles and glistening dentition. HEAD8 AND TAILS (rpt). SUNDAY WORSHIP From the Institute of Religious Education, Mount Oliver, Armagh.

GEOFFREY SMITH'S WORLD Of Martin Sheen plays the President In Kennedy (ITV, 7.45 p.m.). reproduce everything books cm do, would we? The LWT arts complex was feeling innovative last week. The South Bank Show (LWT) ended its programme on Hockney's delightful 'joiner photographs by persuading the artist to make the first 'joiner movie': one small domestic scene was filmed nine times and the ensuing celluloid joined together like patchwork on the screen.

The result, it has to be said, was more like a batty version of Cinerama than anything else but it was worth the try. More interestingly, Book Four (C4) broke new TV ground by having a real live poet (James Fenton) read an entire poem which lasted 11 minutes and IS seconds. For almost the whole time the camera merely rested on the poet speaking. No helpful background music no sunset pix from the Guildford Camera Club. Sensible? Obvious? Of course.

Yet in TV terms, a major triumph of nerve on the producer's part. Reith (BBC1) proved far from the sort of in-house homage it might have been indeed, for much of its two-part length Roger Milner's play was agawp with disbelief at the behaviour of the principled old brute. Tom Fleming played the gaunt patriarch like some weathered Easter Island statue, richly conveying the awkwardness (for others, mainly) of a life in which fighting off Churchill's attempt to commandeer the BBC and firing your chief engineer because he's getting divorced both come out of the same moral knapsack. By the end of it all the old grouch's character had been explained rather more than his specific achievements. But perhaps this was the correct tuning in to Greece Denmark in hope of a reprieve), it was best to escape nostalgically into the days of baggy shorts and sticking-out ears.

Those Glory Glory Days (C4) was a smart comedy by my colleague Julie Welch about four girl acolytes of the 1961 double-winning Spurs team. The shameless dog-devotions of adolescence were excellently articulated. The main fault of this Film on Four was not to have the confidence of realism when everything is given the edge of burlesque, opportunities for comedy diminish rather than increase. My only other gripe was over the inadequate representation given to Leicester City's part in that historic 1961 Cup Final. The literary equivalent to slack-jawed worship of Danny Blanchflower is young Nathan Zuckerman's piety before Great Jewish Writer E.

I. Lonoff in The Ghost Writer (BBC2). Philip Roth's novel, a sort of variant on The Lesson of the Master with Jewish side-dishes, came to us in a very classy, if necessarily slimmed-down version, and boasted high production values (i.e. it had Claire Bloom in it). A subsequent check on the book revealed theme-cuts and shifts of emphasis Sam Wanamaker's Lonoff was firmly at the Bellow rather than the Singer end of the spectrum but, watched with the full benefit of a poor memory, the film held up well on its own terms.

Television often nudges books towards a slighdy different genre (the Anne Frank theme, for instance, tiptoed into thrillerdom in this context) this is inevitable, but not perhaps regrettable. We wouldn't want the box to be able to CHANNEL 4 BBC2 point up the cattle-market aspect of the whole business. Some courteous piece of punched tape inside the machine obviously stopped any girl actually receiving a Eurovision Song Contest nul point but even so, four girls registered a belittling single point out of a possible 36. One of these, Miss Liberia, was later awarded one of the five new subsidiary titles up for grabs African Queen of Beauty. Hard not to read this as a cack-eyed slur on the assembled womanhood of the dark continent.

But then the judges (two token women plus seven tacky men) looked pretty much of a Berni Inn brigade, mired in Eurocentricity. As they were introduced to us, the men registered a resounding nul point for face and figure on my wife's personal computer; and the camera, seemingly embarrassed by what it had revealed, didn't stay to probe their intelligence or personality. Predictably, they whittled the girls down to those who looked most like Barbie dolls, and then gave the prize to the Barbie doll who looked most like Julia Morley. That she happened to be Miss United Kingdom was a further cause for shame. It wasn't surprising, of course; but will the rest of the world understand how much the nation needed bucking up after being knocked out of the European Championship In a week when the reality of supporting English football became too hideous to bear (oh the dank shame of 10.10 OPEN UNIVERSITY.

What, one wonders, would he have made of the Japanese game-show, extracted during Clive James on Television (LWT), in which half-naked contestants are smeared with bananas and then let loose in the orang-utan enclosure of a zoo? The longer they brave the apes' attentions, the more points, or status or yen they obtain. Like most television, this clip neither enriched nor deprived Reithian categories are irrelevant, except perhaps for that one about 'banishing Endurance clearly demonstrates that a half-naked Japanese smeared with banana reacts in an orang-utan pen with just as much timorous hysteria as a half-naked inhabitant of Romford might. To that extent, I suppose, the international game-show allows nation to speak reassuringly unto nation. S26 2.40 ked social worker; graduate ciyu engineer jostled with student of linguistics. Clearly the honest, gold-digging days of I want to make as much money as possible out of the title and then marry a racing driver are over.

But little else has changed for the better in this fatuous competition. In keeping with barnacled tradition, the few genuinely pretty girls (Miss France, Miss Norway) were eliminated in the first round and the only girl of arresting looks among the final seven (Miss Yugoslavia) didn't make it into the last three. Mind you, she was 5 ft 11 and her Christian name was Bernardo; so perhaps the judges had some legitimate doubts. This year's presentation was updated, i.e., made worse, by the introduction of a computer. As the girls posed in their swimsuits (a word that also needs updating), the print-out registered across their bosoms in demeaning applique the nine judges' marks awarded for face, figure, personality and intelligence.
