Answer to Last Week's Puzzle TALKBACK Questions for this column should be sent to TV Talkback, Los Angeles Times, Times Mirror Square, Los Angeles, Calif. 90053. Letters can be answered in column only. KENT SHOCKNEK EDWARD WOODWARD CHRISTOPHER GEORGE Question: During each "Today" show on NBC, we always listen to Kent Shocknek on the local Channel 4 news breaks 25 minutes after the hour.

We think he's a most promising and well- spoken announcer, besides. being easy on the eyes. Can you tell us more about him and his background? R.H.M., Sky Forest Answer: Shocknek joined KNBC as a general assignment reporter in September, 1983. Prior to that, he anchored and reported for WFTV in Orlando, and also did a prime- -time magazine program, "Florida." He won three local Emmys for his work there. From 1978-80, he reported news for KCAU-TV in Sioux City, lowa.

Shocknek, a native Californian, graduated magna cum laude from USC in 1978. The music used in the Ernest Julio Gallo wine TV commercial has entranced me. Can you identify it? B.J., Coronado The music is titled "Hymne" by Vangelis and is on an album called "Opera Sauvage." It's on a Polygram label and available at record stores. There's a bet on this: I say Edward Woodward of "The Equalizer" played Christmas Past in "A Christmas Carol" with George C. Scott.

My friend says it was Dan Haggerty. Who's right? B.C., Los Angeles You collect. Woodward played the role and kidded about the ordeal he went through. "It was a very painful part," he once said. Not only did he have to wear a massive velvet robe, but had to "grow" from his normal 5 foot 10 height to 7 foot 6 for the ghostly role.

He wasn't told until two days before they started filming that he had to walk on stilts, and he didn't know he'd be wearing a chest wig (stuck on his own chest with liquid gum and itchy). "And was supposed to be a happy, ho, ho, ho character!" Please explain the present status of Christopher George who starred in "Rat Patrol." I've seen and heard of his wife, Lynda Day George, over the past years, but never hear anything about him. Is he still alive? C.E., Lakewood Christopher George died of a heart attack in November, 1983. He was 54. Can you tell me where the original anchors of INN news, Pat Harper 'and Steve Borsch, are now and the circumstances of their departure? F.N.B., Tarzana INN producers decided on a format change and hired Morton Dean away from CBS as a single news anchor.

Harper is now with WNBC-TV in New York City, and Borsch is with KDFW- TV in Dallas. I hope this note will help your reader who wanted to know if Jackie Gleason had any music albums out. Under the title "Jackie Gleason Presents," there are six Capitol albums out with subtitles such as "Music for Lovers Only" and "Music to Change Her Mind." The album numbers: 475, 509, 568, 570, 627 and 632. A.N., Pasadena Thanks again. We aim to please as many as time and space allow.
