Tonight from BBC West The Quiet Millionaire
As a boy he picked blackberries to earn money for football boots. In the RAF he made a fortune at cards. In 1946 he started a retail radio business that was worth a million in four years. Bristol born John James reflects on a life style that has made him one of the country's richest men.
