Three days before she arrived, Erica let me know that she'd met Edna O'Brien at some States-side function who had invited her for a cosy literary lioness power-chat on the Russell Harty Show, a direct rival of Parkinson much as I imagine Leno and Letterman often need to spar over choice guests.
If Edna wanted to talk to Erica (and the Harty production team were hazier than I was over what was going on!), she could do so *after* I had delivered my author to Parkinson as agreed - a fact perfectly well known to the Harty crowd.
My compromise was this: I already had Erica booked to appear on Granada TV as part of the Manchester leg of her nationwide tour, so I called up the producer and offered Edna as well and asked what chance there was of trimming other guests' spots to give my ladies maximum chat time.

Harty is Harty, as only he could be, but was never a person whose talent I could appreciate.

As a record of the cast as they were (exactly half of those appearing are now dead, including Harty), this programme is an interesting experience (to hear Jackie Tong's real-life posh accent, if nothing else!) but it could have been far better with a different presenter and a longer running time.
