David’s

deserted

shop...

How in the world

does David make a

living from his well-stocked

shop in Emmerdale? Whenever

we pay him a visit, there’s hardly

anyone in the

place and I can’t

imagine it makes

much money! I

think it can only

be a matter of

time before

the business

goes under!

Goodbye, This Week

It’s such a shame that

BBC1’s current-affairs

show This Week has

been cancelled after 16

years on our screens.

Andrew Neil’s

entertaining and

often light-hearted

look at the world

of politics was a

must-see show on

Thursday nights

and I loved his

debates with

regular guests

such as Michael

Portillo. Let’s hope

they replace it with

something good.

I thoroughly enjoyed
the recent Netball
World Cup on BBC2
and the coverage was
fantastic. It’s not often
you see netball on the
telly! Liverpool was a
superb host city and
well done to the England
players for winning the
bronze medal – you did
us proud, girls! Hopefully
you can take gold in four
years in South Africa.

Plane silly!
Planespotting Live on BBC4 was
an utter joke. They really should
have billed it as a comedy! If this
is the best the BBC can do, then
they shouldn’t bother. As for

YOUR
STARS
Colin Shearman looks
ahead to 10-16 Aug 2019
ARIES (21 March-20 April)
A lovers’ tiff or a row over cash could get
out of hand, but your social life looks fun.
Someone will have a big effect on you, too.
GEMINI (22 May-21 June)
A panic will be a false alarm and most of
your plans will run smoothly. Don’t give
in to other people’s demands too easily.
LEO (23 July-22 August)
Aspects to the Sun fill you with the joys of
Summer. Charming others will be easy but
a relationship is set to reach a crossroads.
LIBRA (23 September-22 October)
Venus makes this a moment to be sociable

• and something you have pinned your
  hopes on will go well. Be wary of promises.

SAGITTARIUS (22 November-20 December)

Work will be tedious this week and a

message may go astray, but you’ll want

the final word in a scheme or decision.

AQUARIUS (20 January-19 February)

You won’t see eye to eye with a relative and

aspects to the Moon bring out the rebel

in you. Plus, you’ll have a new admirer.

TAURUS (21 April-21 May)

Although a relative may disrupt things,

aspects to Venus ensure this is a week to

put your feet up. Be careful with ambitions.

CANCER (22 June-22 July)

Despite a pal messing you around and life

being turbulent, you’ll be happy to know

someone is keeping their side of a bargain.

VIRGO (23 August-22 September)

A twist of fate leads to a nice surprise, and

some last-minute changes could cause

trouble. Don’t be too proud to accept help.

SCORPIO (23 October-21 November)

You’ll be impressive over the next few days

but that won’t stop someone sticking their

nose in. You may need to compromise.

CAPRICORN (21 December-19 January)

You’ll be sick of hearing the same excuses

but will benefit from a partner’s generosity.

And a proposal will be up for consideration.

PISCES (20 February-20 March)

This will be a very relaxing week when an

announcement will be a weight off your

shoulders – but steer clear of time-wasters.

The kids are all right!

The Voice Kids on ITV was

brilliant this year. The young

hopefuls were just so talented

and there were some truly

outstanding performances.

I think this version is better than

the original show! Maybe Simon

Cowell should start The X Factor

Kids to revive that tired format?

I’m sure a few of these youngsters

are worth a record deal!

Wild Africa

BBC1’s new wildlife

series Serengeti was

mesmerising. The

show followed a

year in the lives of

some of the amazing

animals living on Africa’s

vast grasslands, using

groundbreaking camera

techniques to give viewers a

closer look than ever before.

There were jaw-dropping

moments as leopards and

other creatures fought for survival, but the real stars

were the unseen film crews who bring us such fantastic footage.
