Sister, Sister by RACHEL BILLINGTON storyteller, Stuart Once upon a time there were three beautiful sisters. One day a handsome young man appeared among them. He gazed about him with anticipation-they seemed to be there just for his pleasure. Perhaps they were-but all pleasures have to be paid for-at least in contemporary fairy stories.

Professor Lord Zuckerman , OM, was born in South Africa in 1904 and came to Britain as a medical student in 1926. After qualifying as a doctor from University College Hospital, London, he became Research Anatomist to the Zoological Society and wrote his classic work The Social Life of Monkeys and Apes. At the beginning of the war, he undertook a national survey of bombing casualties and became involved in the formulation of a bombing policy.
In conversation with Michael Charlton , Lord Zuckerman describes the planning and analysis of air operations which led to the capture of Pantelleria and to the breakdown of enemy communications in Sicily and southern Italy.
In the first of two programmes, he recalls how he became a central figure in the disputes on bombing policy which took place during the planning of Overlord'.
