Spectator's Notebook
TttosE who watch the educational programmes on Sunday morning on independent television will have observed that the Spectator has taken to advertising itself on the air. The rates at this hour are cheap and the results gratifying. As an alternative to the thirty-second film we had thought of reproducing as an advertisement the Prime Minister's statement in the House of Commons that he did not take any notice of any- thing in the Spectator nor of anything said by its editor. 1 wonder. Certainly he is one of our most devoted readers and the Spectator has found itself dragged into Prime Ministerial references to Rhodesia, Vietnam and General de Gaulle. Indeed, when H. Wilson is stuck for an answer he now invariably makes a gibe about the Spectator or about the Tory leadership. Or, of course, both.
