Lay off Lorne Spicer! As Margaret Smally (15th August) does, I should find Lorne irritating, with her loud voice, funny laugh and odd clothes. But she brings her enthusiasm and good nature to TRASH TO CASH and CASH IN THE ATTIC: some of the other presenters are too posh, patronising and pretentious (naming no names), but Lorne is the genuine article.

To suggest, as Barry Norman (RT, 1 August) does, that THE MATRIX is "a bewildering mish-mash of pretentious mumbo jumbo... apparently dreamed up by a fifth former on acid" is a little insulting, considering the fifth former in this case would be Plato. THE MATRIX is inspired to a degree by his allegory of the cave.
