After the replayed episode 33 there are some clips from episode 34 featuring my dad and Eric talking about their friendship. ---------------- In GBA 33 we get better acquainted with Eric. He talks about his extensive BBC career, film making, writing, how he met my father, the effect of national service and the physical and sensual process of typing. And a lot more.
