diary TELEVISION PROGRAMME: Essential Guide To Poems (To Fall In Love With)...Picture Shows: Daisy Goodwin. This attempt to 'bring poetry alive' for a television audience suceeds only in kiling it stone dead. Ridiculously gimmicky presentation - actors speaking poems to camera whilst riding on buses, having their hair done, waking up with a hang-over - fatally undermind the words, while presenter Daisy Goodwin, who delivers every link as a sexual come-on, is equally distracting. poetry is best left to radio.
