The BBC did a documentary on me in 2001 which won some awards. I
have remained close friends with the two producers of that show, The
Man Who Learnt to See.
Annabel sent me the following not about a series she has done on
maps. I anticipate they will be extremely interesting.

moments in history and tools of political power and persuasion.
