The annihilation of Sweden's fish population is put off until next week. This is mainly due to an Arctic frogman, a narcoleptic and a government official who accuses the Welsh team of spying. Deputy headmaster GILLESPIE is put off altogether. This is due to a lady who said: ' I want a fish for my cat, but it will starve if I wait here much longer.' Written and narrated by IAN WOOLDRIDGE

Barbra Streisand and Kris Krist offerson are the latest luminaries to tell the old, old story of how A Star is Born. Hollywood never could leave a good thing alone and the new one is the third version, not counting Cukor's What Price Hollywood? of 1932. George Cukor also directed the 1954 version with JUDY GARLAND and JAMES MASON , still the most famous and probably the best. Twenty-three years on James Mason from his Swiss home talks about the curious business of stardom then and now.
