I was frustrated because I overslept this morning and missed the original airing. Thank you for the link. A fascinating program!
ReplyDeleteWe all sounded brilliant, and I only caught one glaring error -- Roger said Charteris had character called "the Goose" -- it was The DUCK!

Also according to the show Leslie's mother was called Florence but she was actually Lydia Florence (who had a brother called...ah, no, that's another story...)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big Charteris buff so I didn't catch any errors but did enjoy learning more and it was great to hear what "Biographer Dan Bodenheimer" had to say! Very cool. Nice job to all who were interviewed.
