In 1978 Thames Television offered him his own show,
which became the ‘Kenny Everett Video Show’ in
which he introduced his own cast of sexy dancers – the
dance group ‘Hot Gossip’ exploded onto our screens.
At the time this was considered to be extremely risqué
plus he had also combined this with a host of saucy,
sexist and political sketches - unbelievably the ratings
went up and up. The fact that the show was denounced
seemed only to attract more and more viewers – it was
the show everyone would talk about the next day at
their work place, the nation was intrigued, shocked
and yet seemed to love every minute.
In early 1981 Kenny fell out with the ITV management
– they had scheduled his show to go up against
BBC’s top-rated ‘Top Of The Pops’, a show which
Kenny actually liked himself and he certainly didn’t
want to start a ratings war with one of his favourite
programmes.
Right on time, in stepped the BBC, who offered him a
‘Christmas Special’ show followed by five primetime
series (which included a promise of massive
investments and a higher standard of production),

CALVIA ON FIREBON
NIGHT

Report and photographs by Ken & Angela Ross
Hot-Dog stalls, Drinks, Sweets, Candy Floss and even Fish and Chips, it was all there at Calvia’s amazing Bonfire Night.
It is estimated that two thousand people attended during the evening, with two huge specially erected stages providing non-
stop entertainment. Singers, musicians and dancers, a marching drumming band, Correfoc, the bonfire and firework display
and much, much more, made this free entry event so spectacular.
Besides the Devil and his many Demons, the dramatic presentation of the Correfoc was skilfully choreographed so as to not
only impress the audience with its pyrotechnics, but also to tell the story of fire – first being discovered by ‘early cave man’
and then being stolen by the devil and his followers. Thoroughly entertaining, we watched as the children’s faces just stared
in astonishment. A huge three headed dog from Hell, ridden by a young female demon, was pushed in to the arena which
then burst into an amazing mini firework display. This was followed by a three meter high winged Bat with a bulls head and
horns, (why does the Devil have all the best goodies?), which again gave its own firework display.
The amazing fun-fair atmosphere, the entertainment (by many young local artists), the Bonfire, the Fireworks, plus all
the hard work from Calvia Town Hall, especially Deputy Mayor Eva Serra and Dolina Reynolds (Calvia’s ‘International
Department), Cristina Axford (Spectrum Radio), Gee Carmichael (Host), all made this another great event – well done!

Palma City center bristled with a glowing pride as it once again
demonstrated that this beautiful island of Mallorca is more than
just a summer time venue.
Celebrity’s Angela and Ken Ross took their camera for a stroll
around the center to witness the amazing festive lights that have
added a golden magic all over the capital. Bars, restaurants and
shops also seemingly made a special effort to mirror the festive
season to add to the warm welcoming atmosphere.
Christmas markets, pavement artists, buskers and even organized
entertainment created an amazing friendly spirit - pavement cafes
and bars were full to capacity on our early Friday evening visit.
A truly great effort by the Ajuntament de Palma - well done to

traditional haunting
season of Halloween has
maintained its popularity, with all the local
stores and supermarkets offering a never ending array
of blood curdling rubber axes and knives, plus monster
outfits and horrendously gruesome masks that would scare
the pants off any passer-by on a normal evening.
This was Halloween night and even with the dismal
weather, the ghouls and witches were out and about in
force – nowhere more so than at the top restaurant ‘Spoon’
in Puerto Portals. Always willing to show their fun side, the
restaurant (now with their adjoining rooftop bar ‘Billys’)
held its annual Halloween Party which attracted some
unusual guests – outrageous Devils, Ghouls and Monsters
a-plenty, but to balance out the ‘dark side’ there was also a
delightful fluffy white Unicorn (Ah!) and in the case their

SLEEP HOW IT

Secrets of a good nights sleep

Sleep on your own and whatever you do, don’t sleep naked!

A new survey for the online mattress firm ‘Sleep’ reveals that the recipe for a perfect nights sleep - is to sleep on
your own, wearing pyjamas and with a bedroom temperature of 16C. Crucially in order to get a good sleep our body
temperature needs to drop by half a degree Celsius from our normal waking temperature. But resist the temptation
to strip off on warm night because according to Dr Neil Stanley, (an independent sleep expert), it’s actually better to
wear pyjamas because ‘the pyjama fabric’ draws sweat away from your body and will make you feel a lot cooler and
more comfortable’.
Some experts even suggest that sleeping on your side rather than your back is better because more of the body’s
surface is exposed to the air and thus gives out more heat taking it away from the body.
Almost half of the 2,000 of the people quizzed in the poll said that they slept better when their partner was not with
them.
Now, ‘Food Guru’ Nigella Lawson has come up with her own personal sleep pattern. At first it sounds a bit whacky
but there is good solid evidence behind her theory and she might actually be on to something here.

Nigella revealed she often gets up during the night to
potter around and sleeps in two hour bursts – just the
same way as our ancestors used to do!
In an interview, Nigella said she is often in bed by the
saintly hour of 7.30pm, but sleeps only in two-hour
sessions. In between, she gets up, potters around and
makes tea, before going back and sleeping for another
two hours.

It sounds crazy — surely she must be seriously sleep-
deprived? As we all know, everyone needs a good,
uninterrupted eight hours sleep, or do we?
Actually, we don’t. In fact, Nigella’s mode of sleeping
is far more in keeping with historic sleep patterns than
the single period of sleep so many of us aspire to
these days. This theory was recently confirmed in a
television documentary on sleep patterns. We tend to
assume our forefathers retired to bed at sundown and
rose with the sun. Well, we assumed wrong.
Instead, they had what is known as a ‘biphasic’ sleep
pattern — they’d sleep for four hours and then get up,
do household chores, pray, eat, have sex, even visit
neighbours. Then they’d go back to sleep for another
four hours.

Prayer manuals from the 15th century even stipulated
specific prayers for the waking hours between sleeps,
while it was commonly believed that this period was a
good time to try to conceive a child.

Monophasic sleep — which describes the eight hours Nigella Lawson
we currently strive
for — is a relatively evolution — and it is believed that this is a factor in

IF IT’S CHRISTMAS TIME , IT MUST BE MORCOMBE AND WISE TIME

No matter how many television comedies are produced each year, come Christmas, it is still the old hot chestnuts

IT’S A LITTLE BIT FUNNY

The race for the best Christmas ‘weepy television commercial’ is once Elton John-
again upon us – and certainly no one puts more effort into their offerings
than the department store, John Lewis. This year’s presentation has Elton Pìctures Ken & Angela Ross
John unashamedly having us all sitting in total sadness and silence as he
plays his piano, reflecting on his life as his mind wanders through his past
years.
The commercial shows Elton as a toddler (then still called Reginald
Kenneth Dwight) in pyjamas, coming down stairs on Christmas morning
to find his gift, an upright piano all Christmas wrapped, a present from his
mother and Grandmother (his father not seeming to be around?).
We then see mixed actual archive footage of Elton combined with a series
of specially shot scenes using several actors to portray him through the
different stages of his life – of course this is all very bleary eyed stuff,
the haunting melody of Elton’s ‘Your Song’ drifting throughout the
commercial – handkerchiefs at the ready!
The only problem, in Philip Norman rock biography Slowhand, he disputes
several facts! These now echoed by several major national newspapers.
Whilst there may have been a piano, in the pre-television era days most
working class households would have had an upright piano, Elton didn’t
get it from his mother as a Christmas present. In fact his big present was
from his father, an extremely expensive child’s Pedal Car from Hamleys,
the West end toyshop.
Elton was in fact later bought a piano, but this again was from his father,
and Elton was then sixteen.
There is an awful lot of disputed and intriguing information on young
Dwight and the relationship with his family (and that Piano!) - never the
less, the two minute television commercial is superbly produced, shows
a life we would all like to believe (and would have liked to have had our
selves), so stuff the truth (what ever it is), get out the handkerchiefs (and
mince pies and wine) - and enjoy it all!

IT’S A LITTLE MORE MONEY

Fighting for over decade, our old pal Noel Edmonds (concert organizer and my
Helicopter pilot for ‘Live Aid’), has been locked in a multi million pound legal
battle with several banks over his media business’s failure back in 2007. Noel
claims his company ‘Unique Group’ was destroyed by incompetence, or worse,
at the financial institution of HBOS, which was rescued (taken-over) by Lloyds
following the 2008 financial crisis.
So with the impending court case finally coming up, Noel seized the opportunity to
raise his profile by joining the celebrities in this years top television program, I’m
A Celebrity …Get Me Out Of Here!
The extra visibility plus a reported fee of over half a million pounds certainly seemed to make it a somewhat worthwhile
pursuit.
Noel was trumpeted in to the show, hilariously dressed as a Roman Emperor, the sixty nine year old former television
star was given the ‘tongue-in-cheek’ status of being in charge of all the other celebrities, who were to be totally under
his command.
Unfortunately Noel’s pride was no doubt somewhat dented with the shock result of him being the first to be booted
off the show. Noel later did admit he was totally shocked with the result, which is determined solely by the public
(viewers) votes - being the first out has always been thought of as a means of testing popularity, or the lack of it!
Noel expected to use an assumed extended stint on the television show to draw attention to his long running battle
with the bank that now owns HBOS, Lloyds - a company he equated with the likeness of one of the delicacies eaten
as a bush-tucker trial by the shows contestants, cockroaches!
Originally considered by many to be one of the favourites to win, he can still no doubt bank his fee, although his
visibility and raised profile was somewhat curtailed quicker than he ever expected.

IT’S ONLY A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY

Feeling guilt is not something you would expect from the worlds most famous author and our popular part-time
Mallorca resident, Jeffrey Archer – never the less it is happening!
After a cancer scare and the realisation that at seventy-eight years old, life will not go on indefinitely, Jeffrey is taking
stock of his two hundred million pound fortune.
His actual wealth is estimated at around one hundred million plus his art collection, again estimated at around another
one hundred million.
So Jeffrey has started a clean up, first selling everything he has held in storage, giving all the proceeds to charity,
mostly to a Cambridge college. Now he is stocktaking his art collection, which includes original works by Monet,
Pissarro, Hockney and Warhol, giving away or at least promising the valuable works of art to galleries and museums.
A third to a half will go, that’s up to fifty millions pounds worth.
An Arthur McCormick painting, which hangs nonchalantly in Jeffrey’s living room, depicting Nelson signing the
declaration after the battle of Copenhagen, is promised to the National Maritime Museum. A valuable Sisley painting
is promised to the Tate Gallery. Other paintings, such as ‘Venus In Kensington Gardens’ by Leon Underwood (now
fashionable and hugely collectable) are bound for a museum in Oxford.
Basically Jeffrey adds, “ I would rather my art collection goes to good and appreciative homes rather than the tax
man getting his hands on them.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not giving everything away, I am just doing what I can to help – my son’s fear is that I will
die penniless.

This year’s event was held at the OD Port Portals Hotel with over 200 people in attendance. With the dress code leaning
towards ‘pink’ they gathered in the hotels roof top Sky-Bar to enjoy an evening of entertainment and fun. A hugely successful
evening, raising nine thousand euros that will provide financial support and help for the local ‘Children in Need’ projects.

Lola - Hosts the social gathering – open sixty or seventy bottles of wine and you suddenly realise you
have far more friends than you ever realised – welcome to a wine
tasting evening!
In the heart of Portals Nous the local supermarket, Cidon, held their
annual wine tasting event, which has now become a bit of a social
gathering, an occasion for people to meet friends and reminisce over
a glass or two (or more) of rather nice wines.
‘Of course’ every one was totally professional (?) in their appraisal of
all of the wines, several glasses (or more) of each no doubt needed to
determine the origin and flavours? I must admit to not witnessing a
great deal of ‘expectorating’ (i.e. spitting out into a silver bucket) of
the wine, our group probably a little bit more enthusiastic than most
professionals – but as we did say, it was a social affair, and a rather
happy and fun one at that.
