with Bernard Levin
SIR R.: I didn't like school very much, and I got out of that as quickly as I could. I ran away, as a matter of fact.
B. L.: Did you? How romantic!
SIR R.: It was rather. Did you ever run away from school?
B. L.: No, no, no, no I set it on fire. SIR r.: Oh did you?
B. L.: Not deliberately. Not the whole school....
SIR R.: How was that?
