I DO not know why Mr Shipman (Letters, February 9) is complaining about films shown on TV. After all, Willy Wonka, You’ve Got Mail and every Randolph Scott cowboy film were only shown three times last week.

Joke over – he is so right about the lack of good classic films.
There have been one or two on recently with great actors (apart from the Astaire/Rogers relics) but these are outdone by those and similar mentioned above. Just scanned the TV magazine for next week and, lo and behold, Sally is meeting Harry AGAIN!
