M 69 
What every T.V. addict needs. Half-eaten.
M 70 
A run-of-the-mill tabloid. The only reason you get it is that the T.V. section makes good reading.
M 71 
The main features are a small display on it and a button marked `CHANNEL'.
M 72 
The T.V. section tells you that your favourite programme is on channel {D.
