Sirs, - Through your columns, I would like to congratulate RTE on their fine programme schedules of late. Sixty per cent of them are unwatchable and 30 per cent I have seen before so nowadays I can read a good book while watching TV and be almost certain that I'm not missing anything. This is real progress on the literary front and should do wonders for book sales. Well done. - Yours, etc.,
R.D. Banton, Tinahely, Co Wicklow.
