‘Stop the lights!’

Sir, – After the TV quiz show Quicksilver ended and its phrase "Stop the lights!" had long found fame on the streets, the expression enjoyed a further screen profile in the rural soap drama Glenroe, coming as it sagely did from the mustachioed mouth of the crusty but lovable character Stephen Brennan (played by Robert Carrickford).– Yours, etc,
