“Only the other day I was approached by a top television producer, who asked me why we on this program had so steadfastly spurned the garish, get-rich-quick World of television in favour of, as he saw it, the antiquated and obviously limited medium of wireless, and to this man I have a clear message:
I mislaid your telephone number on the bus. Please get in touch!”
