once you do the acting it goes
to the editor and you have no
control.

“Some of my best work
was played off against reac-
tion. But it was edited to
voiee only. That was the
choice made in the editing
room and it’s not to say they
aren't correct. But when you
leave the door open for cer-
tain redeeming qualities to
show through,

because they’ve been edited
out, then the character be-
comes more black than grey.
I'd prefer him to be grey.”

The addition of Devane to
the series this season has
paid off. Knots Landing
moved into the Top 10 this
year and regularly beats its
competition, NBC's Hill
Street Blues.

“We started chipping away
last year,” says David Ja
cobs, creator and executive
producer. “I believe one
thing that has made the dif.
ference is the addition of
strong men to the show.
Before that we were mainly a
woman's show.”

Those strong men were,
first, Kevin Dobson three
years ago, and now Devane.
Since joining the show in
September, Devane's charac-
ter has become romantically

The wrong fork

LOS ANGELES (AP) —
They were an unlikely pair
but actor Sam Jaffe, who
died recently, and Zero Mos-
tel were good friends.

Jaffe, Dr. Zorba on the Ben
Casey series and the water-
boy in Gunga Din, was small
and quiet. Mostel, star of A
Funny Thing Happened on
the Way to the Forum, was
large and boisterous.

Some years back when
Laurence Olivier came for a
visit, Margo and Eddie Al-

COMM

bert gave an intimate party
for the British actor. Olivier
asked if they would ‘invite
Jaffe, but Mrs. Albert didn’t
think Mostel would fit in and
she asked Jaffe not to tell
him about the party.

Everything went great at
the dinner until a fat waiter
stood at Olivier's elbow and

Networks dish
up suspense

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It’s coming to that time of
the year when the American networks tie the damsel to
the railroad tracks in the manner of The Perils of Pauline
and await the arrival of the express.

The ratings express, that is, because the end-of-the-
season cliffhanger has become one of the surest ways to
increase a show's audience and lure people back in the
fall.

It was the suspense and speculation of the Who Shot
J.R.? season finale that captured the world’s imagination
and made CBS’ Dallas the top-rated show in 1980.

Dallas and such other series as NBC’s Cheers and
Hill Street Blues, ABC’s Dynasty and CBS’ Falcon Crest
are dishing up intrigue and suspense in May to pique the
viewers interest, keep the audience guessing until the fall
and hope the ratings for the all-important May sweeps
when both the A.C. Nielsen Co. and Arbitron measure
viewing levels at local stations.

“T think cliffhangers are fun,” said Earl Hamner, the
creator and executive producer of Falcon Crest. ~

Hamner has a dilly this year: the entire cast will be
aboard a plane that crashes en route to Italy on Friday,
May 18.

“Some people are going to perish and I can't tell you
which ones,” he said.

Dallas is going to borrow a page from Who Shot J.R.?

FIVE SUSPECTED

There's going to be another shooting, but this time
the victim as well as who pulled the trigger will remain a
mystery untilthe fall. Five people, all with good reason to
do J.R. in, converge on his office — where we hear a shot.
Who did it?Who got it?Tune in next fall.

The mystery of ABC's Dynasty begins May 2, when

Deveraux. “We don't know her background
bat she seems to have a certain knowledge of the
Carringtons,” said ABC publicist Kim Rowley.

“There will be several cliffhangers when the show
ends on May 9,” said Rowley. “One is who is Diahann
Carroll and how does she fit into the Carrington family?

On NBC's Cheers, Sam and Diane began the season
by getting together, and they will end it by breaking up
in a two-parter May 3 and 10.

hanger, but the producers aren't saying much except that
not every regular will be returning in the fall.

ABC's Three's Company will undergo a major
change. John Ritter will be the only one from the present
east who will return. His character will fall in love and
move out of the apartment he has shared for eight years
with two women.

Happy Days, may be bidding farewell in May. After
11 years, the show is not expected back in the fall.

Yes, Minister has regularly reduced Britain to helpless

It has been bought by 28 countries, including
Canada, where it now is shown on Ontario's educational
Network. The authors say they have sold the format to a
U.S. producer in hopes of creating an American version of
Britain's most acclaimed situation comdey.

Yes, Minister is the first TV series to win Britain's

book ‘version has sold 350,000 copies.

The characters are fictitious, like the Department of
Administrative Affairs they run. But the situations
through which they trip and bungle are deliciously real.

The Norwegian prime minister has had breakfast
with the actor who plays Hacker. In Israel, former civil
servants go on television to talk about how true Yes,
Minister is. In Zimbabwe, the No. 1 fan is Premier Robert
Mugabe.

It doesn’t matter whether Hacker is a Tory or a
Laborite. Both are doomed to failure against the wiles of
Sir Humphrey (“The people have a right to be kept
ignorant”) Appleby.

Hacker, portrayed by Paul Eddington, is 50-ish,
middie class and an archetypal product of media
marketing. Likable but inept, he clings to vague
campaign promises of “open government,” of “saving the
taxpayers’ money,” of “restoring government to the
people.”

Such talk is anathema to Sir Humphrey (Nigel
Hawthorne), upper class and Oxford-educated, who has
spent a lifetime avoiding decisions, covering up mii

and inflating the civil service from year to year.

To Sir Humphrey, blocking his minister justifies
every underhanded scheme. He lays out his credo in a
memo to an underling:

“Ministers with a grip on the job are a nuisance
because:

“a. They argue;

. They start to learn the facts;

“ec. They ask you if you have carried out instructions
they gave you six months ago;

“d. If you tell them they

The BCYA exhibition is a
window to the thought pro-

is
may dig out an old submission in which you said it was
easy.”

Sir Humphrey is a master of the evasive answer. In
on episode, Hacker tries to make him admit the civil
service is overmanned. All he wants is a straight yes or
no. Here's what he gets:

“Minister, if I am pressed for a straight answer I
shall say that, as far as we can see, looking at it by and
large, taking one thing with another, in terms of the
average of departments, then in the last analysis it is
probably true to say that, at the end of the day, you
would find, in general terms that, not to put too fine a
point on it, there really was not very much in it one way
or the other.”

Hacker: “Is that a yes or a no?”

Humphrey: “Yes and no.”

FIRST PRIORITY

But Hacker is no St. George in his war against the
bureaucratic dragon. His first priority is always his
re-election prospects. In one episode, he approves
building a controversial chemical plant.

Hacker: “Um . . . this decision will be popular,
though, won't it?”

Humphrey: “Very popular.”

Hacker: “Humphrey, I just want to be clear on this.
You're not asking me to take a courageous decision, are
you?”

Humphrey: “Of course, not, minister. Not even a
controversial one. What a suggestion!”

Sir Humphrey's outraged reply when Hacker asks
why he is suppressing a damaging report on the chemical
plant: “I would never suppress it, minister. I merely
might not publish it.”

SAN RAFAEL, CALIF.
(AP) — Robert Bell thinks
he's found the answer for film
buffs who've been denied
good movies because of a
Hollywood system he says
favors multimillion-dollar
blockbusters.

It's Filmvest, Inc., a com-
pany set up by Bell and two
partners to finance six low-
budget movies every two
years aimed at filmgoers 26
and over who have had their
fill of high-speed chases, laser
beam wars and rock ‘n’ roll
marathons.

“Their sensibilities and
tastes are different,” said
Bell, 60, president of Film-
vest. “They want sophisticat-
ed films of substance and
style .. . We believe they
want films that deal with is-
sues in their lives, relation-
ships that they're struggling
to achieve, films that take the
time to develop the chara-
cters and these relationships
with authenticity.”

Taste, character and sen-
sibility do not have to spell
box office doom, Bell and his
partners say.

CITES POTENTIAL

“One of the reasons we
founded Filmvest was that it
was clear to us the kind of
films we're talking about are
commercially viable in the
sense that there’s a large
audience for said
Christopher Dorr, executive
vice-president in charge of
production. “We see this as a
thoroughly commercial en-
terprise.”
He rattled off a list — Re-
turn of the Secaucus Seven,
My Dinner With Andre,
Come Back to the Five and
Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy
Dean, — as examples of the
kind of low-budget movies
Filmvest wants to make.
