ABSTRACT

During the first five months of 1957 I made a great many broadcasts for the . Almost the last of these was an interview between Alan Wood and myself and a representative of the  in connection with Alan’s publication of his biography of me. Alan was bitterly disappointed by this interview. His experience of broadcasting was less than mine and so he was considerably surprised when the lady who represented the  asked us questions which she had not asked at our rehearsal, indeed which concerned subjects such as my private life. We were both somewhat disconcerted by her questions. However, the book itself had a good reception in spite of being rather tepidly advertised. It seems to me to be an excellent piece of work.
