What a treat to sit down and be delighted for a change.

The Red Shoes, shown on BBC2 last Thursday afternoon, was just that - like going to the theatre and sitting in the front row.

What a magnificent dancer Moira Shearer was, the ballerina who took the part - or should I say danced the part. She and Anton Walbrook were simply breathtaking.

I just sat in a trance - the whole thing was wonderful.

Why can we not have more films like this instead of the rubbish we have on TV?

This sort of brilliance shown regularly would make our licence fee worth paying.
