TELEVISION / Tabloid TV

Those tabloid TV 'scoops' in short: BBC nature expert Lionel Kellaway is rather fond of squirrel pie; ex-Coronation Street star Peter Adamson (Len Fairclough) had an operation for bowel cancer; American comic Bill Cosby topped Forbes' annual list of the rich with an estimated fortune of dollars 150m; the late Arthur Negus's own antique collection will go under the hammer; and a three-day gathering of 150 academics failed to explain why people like Australian soap operas.
