Hammond Innes, traveller and writer of adventure stories, has English sales now approaching ten million. Each journey produces a story and every one a bestseller. "Golden Soak", just published in paperback, is a story about prospecting in the Australian outback - and "North Star", published last autumn, is a tale of sabotage on a North Sea oil rig. Both went straight into the bestseller lists. Robert Robinson talks to Hammond Innes at his home in Kersey, Suffolk.
George Melly reviews a new book of photographs by Arnold Newman - a collection of portraits of his famous contemporaries.

(North Star: serialised in ten parts and read by David Mahlowe, next week in Story Time: 4.35 pm Radio 4)
