John Freeman brings you Face to Face with Lord Boothby, K.B.E.
"A full life I can at least claim to have had-with perhaps rather more than my fair share of ups and downs. If I have not been unduly elated by the former or cast down by the latter, it is because I had the luck to meet a number of the great and the successful at a comparatively early age: and I did not find that they were particularly happy".
