[Listener: Christopher Sykes; date recorded: 2014] TRANSCRIPT: I had a great American friend, Harry Harrison – Harry was marvellous. Harry… just to sketch you in with Harry's background. Harry came from a very poor American family in New York, and he was a cartoonist for a science fiction magazine, but then he decided he would write a novel. He wrote a novel called 'Deathworld', and he offered it to the editor of 'Astounding' and in those days, 'Astounding' was the prince of the magazines edited by a man learned in science, called John W Campbell. John W Campbell bought 'Deathworld', paid Harry for it, and Harry took the money to a travel agent, and he and his wife and the children came over to England to start a new life. And Harry and I became very close because we had the same kind of difficulties with life, you appreciate.
