A few years ago, the heads of television decided to extend the news programmes to half an hour. I wondered at first, how they would fill the half hour, but I needn’t have worried!
Now, the questions I ask myself are these:
Am I broadening my horizons or getting nosier in my old age?
Am I more interested in the world, or less interested in my own surroundings?
Have I got more compassion, or am I hardened to other people’s suffering
that I see daily on TV? And was it self-preservation when I was younger, because
I wouldn’t have been able to cope with the awful realities of life?
