What’s up with Tad Friend writing the TV reviews? I will cancel my subscription if Nancy Franklin is no longer the TV critic. Do you know?

I think Tad Friend is a grand writer, as you know, but I agree, Nancy Franklin is the cat’s pyjamas, and the mere idea of her departure from the TV spot is alarming. What’s going on, friends?
 
Update: She’s just on a well-earned leave and will be back later in 2007, I’m happy to report.
