An encounter with the writer Isaac Asimov, presented by Chris Evans
Asimov, creator of Galactic Patrols and the Space Beagle dislikes flying, and rarely leaves the USA: but childhood memories of Cornish giants and Charles Dickens give him an irresistible affinity with Britain. On his first and only visit to these shores, by ocean liner, Asimov tells about his life, his books, and his view of the future.
