TVTimes: 10 August 1968 The Schedules Archive

 
Perhaps the TVTimes saw nothing of interest in this week's offerings from the ITV network?  Or perhaps they new that the strikes sweeping the industry meant it might not take place?  Whatever the reality, 'Stars', ATV's new chat-with-astrology show at 10.30pm on Wednesday hardly seems to be something worth boasting about - even if Mr Woodruff was the TVTimes's astrologer.

If they wanted something, shall we say, more powerful to plug, they could have looked at the new LWT's two offerings on Saturday.  Variety in 'Meet Jose Ferrer' or satire from The Saturday Special's 'The Franchise Trail' by Nemone Lethbridge.  Sandie Shaw on Sunday's Frost would have been a good thing, too.  In fact, this week seems a good week for ITV, especially considering the turmoil of a few weeks before.

But perhaps TVTimes in this incarnation doesn't care.  It only has a couple of weeks to live.
