Two years ago he talked to Raymond Baxter about the pioneer days of British aviation and the development of the most famous allied fighter of World War I: the Camel.

At 16, Danny thought it would be nice to try the white powder. 'Chuck it in the canal,' said Geoff, but then it became a habit and dealing was the only way to support it. So why is Danny suddenly determined to stop and why does Geoff offer to help?

An Anatomy of the Television Personality
Written and presented by Robert Robinson
The magic rectangle - a geometric figure that has only to be placed around the head and shoulders, and suddenly everyone is looking at you. Without any very obvious, or any very special talent for doing anything in particular, you become the person everyone sees ...
Robert Robinson anatomises this novel phenomenon, and asks those who underwent the transformation whether the casual nature of the attention they received makes them feel disposable, whether the most enduring television personality would be one with no characteristics whatsoever, why television personalities so much resent the phrase, and why in the whole history of the thing, only one person has ever refused it ...
