SUCCESSFUL END TO TV SERIES ON MARITAL RELATIONSHIP
******
THE DIRECTOR OF SOCIAL WELFARE, MR SELWYN ALLEYNE, HAS SAID HE WAS IMPRESSED BY THE FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION SERIES +ASK THE FAMILY+ WHICH DREW 20 000 ENTRIES TO A GUESS GAME FROM TV VIEWERS.
THE 13 WEEKLY SERIES, AIMED TO PROMOTE +HAPPY MARRIAGE, HAPPY LIFE+, CAME TO A CLOSE LAST (WEDNESDAY) NIGHT WHEN A COMMUNITY LEADER, MR CHIU YU-HEI, PICKED THE WINNERS OF THE GAME.
THE FIRST PRIZE WAS $5 000 WORTH OF ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES. THERE WERE 100 CONSOLATION PRIZES -- LETTER RACKS EMBELLISHED WITH FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION MESSAGES.
AT THE FINALE, MR ALLEYNE PRESENTED A SOUVENIR TO MR CHIU WHO HAD CONTRIBUTED $30 000 TO THE PRODUCTION OF THE SERIES.
MR ALLEYNE SAID THE OVERWHELMING RESPONSE FROM TV VIEWERS MUST SERVE AS A GREAT ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE ORGANISERS OF THE PROGRAMME.
THE SERIES WAS JOINTLY PLANNED AND PRODUCED BY RADIO TELEVISION HONG KONG AND THE SOCIAL WELFARE DEPARTMENT AS PART OF A COMMUNITY- WIDE PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN TO FOSTER HAPPY MARITAL RELATIONSHIP.
MR ALLEYNE ALSO EXCHANGED SOUVENIRS WITH THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF BROADCASTING, MR STUART WILKINSON, TO MARK THE JOINT EFFORT OF BOTH DEPARTMENTS.
THE SERIES, BEGINNING IN SEPTEMBER, FEATURED A QUIZ ON FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION AND ELECTRONIC GAMES DESIGNED TO TEST THE CLOSE UNDERSTANDING AND COOPERATION OF PARTICIPATING FAMILIES.
TWO FAMILIES WHO WERE WINNERS OF THE ELECTRONIC GAMES TODAY FLEW OFF TO THE PHILIPPINES FOR A SEVEN-DAY PLEASURE TRIP THEY WON AS PRIZES.
