Although I was hoping he'd spend more time musing on modern developments such as the rise of venture capitalism, Pringles and Grindr.
I lived in a 15 storey tower block in Essex named after him, I like to think his legacy lives on.

If you dig into the iPlayer archive
You can find an old BBC interview with him. The next one in the series is Martin Luther King jr. Quite a gold mine.

The In Our Time archive is likewise a treasure trove.
