I must have interviewed her around the same time. My memory is sketchy but I’m pretty sure Bernard Ingham sat in on the chat. His was a looming presence. Hers suprisingly less so. She didn’t like one of my questions. Told me that wasn’t the question my listeners wanted me to ask. Politicians eh? Been running rings round us hacks ever since. Nice post Peter.
Was her handbag there? It rarely left her side during interviews. I think she planned on using it as a weapon if us young upstarts were too persistent with our awkward questions.

Hello Richard! Thank you. Bernard wasn’t there for my interview- though I did meet him many years later
