Well, what do you think of
the a.. CBC's widely -touted
Jalna series? Please don't
answer that aloud. There. are
ladies present.
Ah, with what hopes we
looked forward 'to a truly
brU1iant, all -Canadian grand
• slam tn° the .world of tele-
vision. • All 4'anadian east,
all -Canadian material," and a
decent budget:
�►, It would astonish the ..,
world, ' dazzle the screen,
• and all bf the world's great
networks would beat a path •
to the CBC door, clutching
millions of ,potan•ds, francs,
.,dollars and lira, begging and
pleading for the right to re-
produce it. '
So much for hopes. The
result merely shows that

The champagne has been

1 warned the CBC, before
the series began, that 1

not- even reasonably bad.

Perh,aps the most appal.,
ling, aspect of th,e whole
dreary business is that the
.CBC has actually sold the
series to some retarded
British network, on the un-
derstanding that it (the
CBC) will Produce. another
13 episodes in the series.
This is not just flogging a
dead horse. It is giving cas-
tor oil to someone who is

You' may have picked up
the misconception that 1
don't like the Jalna series.
Quite wrong. I love it. It's
the best comedy -mystery

Mind you, the comedy is
of the blaok variety. it's ra-
ther like snaking. jokes as the

there is obviously no solo=
