THE pretty village of Turville has become “Heathcote” for this week and next. Thames Television is recording a complete six-part series there entitled The Molly Wopsies which will be screened as weekly episodes in March and April next year. The story, set in 1940, concerns a gang — three local children and an evacuee — who call themselves the Molly Wopsies and their battles with the village policemen.

Mr Richard Carden, of Lovell Close Henley, was narrowly beaten into second place in the BBC television quiz programme Mastermind, which was broadcast on Thursday last week.
