Every year, the charity calls on Christmas shoppers to spare their family from yet another pair of novelty socks or soap sets, and instead buy a gift that helps someone in the developing world. The new catalogue options include a sports kit for children, 9; sunflowers, 20; care for a goat, 35; fish pond, 399; and a village grain bank, 795. Alternatively you can opt for the conventional, such as cooking stoves, 15; school books, 18; baby chicks, 26; piglets, 29; and cows, 105. Cows were last years most popular gift, raising 85,964 through sales of 844 animals. Scandals have made TV bland FEAR OF causing offence in the wake of various broadcasting scandals has left British television in danger of becoming too bland, Channel 4s programme chief has said. Julian Bellamy said the BBC appeared to be now avoiding potentially controversial ideas like the plague. Mr Bellamy told a Royal Television Society gathering: The compliance spiral our industry finds itself in threatens to bland out the medium to no ones benefit. The BBC has strengthened its compliance systems following scandals such as Sachsgate, when Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand made prank phone calls to Andrew Sachs for Brands BBC Radio 2 show. But Mr Bellamy said the BBC was increasingly conservative in its editorial decision-making. He said Channel 4 still took creative risks even when public sentiment risks being offended. Tweet- heart: Olympic Silver medallist Kenny Egan helps to launch Oxfams gift catalogue Picture: Photocall Stolen Yeats is put back on displayby brian huTTOn resurfaced: The painting A FAMOUS painting by one of Irelands most celebrated artists which vanished for 17 years after being stolen in an art heist has gone on show to the public. The Jack B Yeats work Bachelors Walk, In Memory was taken during a robbery at Dunsany Castle, Co Meath in 1990 never to surface again until two years ago when it went on sale at a Sothe- bys auction. Scotland Yard stepped in after being contacted by the National Gallery of Ire- land who spotted a photograph of the missing piece in a catalogue for the Irish sale. Now, the painting from 1915 has been given on long-term loan to the gallery on Merrion Square. It is being shown for the first time there since a centenary exhibition of the art- ists works in 1971. Raymond Keaveney, gallery director, thanked the owner, Lady Dunsany, for allowing the painting to go back on pub- lic display. We are delighted to accept this impor- tant painting on loan which affords a rare and wonderful opportunity for our visi- tors to see one of the artists earliest and most significant oils displayed alongside the gallerys prestigious collection of Yeats paintings, he said. The painting shows the aftermath of an attack by the Kings Own Scottish Bor- derers in Dublin city centre on July 1914, in which they killed four people and in- jured 30 more. The soldiers were returning to barracks after intercepting Irish Volunteers bring- ing in arms off the gun-running yacht Asgard at Howth when they were jeered and heckled by onlookers. Yeats visited the scene the following day and made a sketch on the spot which he used to produce the oil painting. FORMER Australian prime minister John Howard was saved from a flying shoe thrown in protest at Cambridge University when it was caught by a cricket-playing student. The attacker hurled the boot accusing 70-year-old Mr Howard of being racist and a disgrace during a Cambridge Union debate. But 20-year-old cricketer Andrew Chapman leapt to his feet and caught the boot before it could reach the former leader.
