I am very grateful to Claire Bonello and Michela Spiteri (The Sunday Times, May 9) for informing us what went on during the previous Monday's Bondiplus on TVM.

How clever of the anchorman to invite a crowd-puller to increase his viewership! He is quite likely to receive a 'Telecat' or something of the sort, during next year's TV awards!

He will go up on stage to the sound of We Are The Champions and he should, in fairness, take with him the King of Clowns!

For it is clowns, be they wicked or tear-jerking, that attract most crowds. Notwithstanding several SMS messages exhorting me to tune in to Bondiplus for a good laugh that Monday, I refused to be counted among the viewers.

Pity, for once I would have heard the interviewee's voice above the interviewer's. But listening to Imperium Europa personified is not exactly my cup of tea. How many of your readers stand to be counted with me?
