I KEEP trusting Video Plus to record programmes, but I must be mad. More often than not I sit down to watch a tape and just at a crucial moment the thing cuts off abruptly.

It seems to be happening more and more. My latest annoying experience was on Sunday. I had programmed the number for "After They Were Famous" on Saturday night and was just interested in what John Lennon's ex-wife Cynthia was doing now when the curtain came down. It's so infuriating.

Is it just me or does it happen to everyone?
