A most excellent edition of the BBC’s Desert Island Disks this morning, with Jeremy Bowen, along with J ohn Simpson o ne of the great foreeing correspondents.
And his Desert Island Book? Something I can adhere to, the work of another of my heroes, “A bumper book” (The Complete Works) of George Orwell.
Agreed – it was a very good DID. Saw him at the Oxford Literary Festival a few months back. Apart from being interesting he was very human and humble. He seemed so surprised that people had come to hear him speak and took a photo of the audience as a reminder!
Hope all’s well with you.
