Review # 1 was written on 2019-09-18 00:00:00 B J Cook These twelve shows include Dr Clare's encounters with writer and performer Spike Milligan, playwright Peter Nichols, author Maya Angelou, political activist Bruce Kent,gynaecologist Wendy Savage, pianist and conductor Vladimir Ashkenazy, film director Ken Russell, politician Edwina Currie, former Lord Chanceller Lord Hailsham, theatre director Peter Hall, author Barbara Cartland and journalist Jean Rook. This was a fascinating insight into the minds of the people mentioned above particularly Spike Milligan who came across very differently from the image he portrayed in his public life. The only low point was Barbara Cartland who enraged me with her views; worth listening to just to make you feel grateful you don't share them. It was also interesting to see how Anthony Clare interacted with his interviewees. For example, he called Edwina Curry "Mrs Curry", he let some talk over him and others he seemed to pull back from asking the questions you'd expect of him. Definitely worth a listen.

Zijn stem bracht me terug naar de keuken van mijn opa, op zondagmiddag, met funiculi funicula op de radio. Het voelt als een vlieg zijn op de muur, zo mogen luisteren naar heel verschillende mensen.
