Hearts of Gold back on TV?
We all love and remember Esther Rantzen's late 80s ´óÏó´«Ã½1 show Hearts of Gold. Or do we love to hate it? It rewarded acts of kindness, be they in life or through random acts of generosity in the street. Not so bad you might think? Quite good, in fact? Many disabled people, however, felt it had that Telethon touch of pity about it and would rather those lovely stories about the lady who always makes a point of saying hello to her arthritic neighbour weren't rewarded with mass TV coverage. It went down badly in 'the community'.
So, you'll be pleased to hear then, that Sky One are planning something that sounds rather similar. - a live show, perhaps reminiscent of Esther's old fave and perhaps a teeny bit reminiscent of his former ´óÏó´«Ã½1 Christmas Day present giving show.
Sky One controller Richard Woolfe said: ""This show will be the antidote to broken Britain," a reference to Conservative leader David Cameron's new slogan.
A good deed should be rewarded, yes? And who better to take on this show than Noel, the author of .
