This must have been filmed in the 1980s (?), but here's the late Graham Rock with some pearls of wisdom.

found this piece about Rocky's life which was an interesting read

interesting watch to see the old form book days & largely solid advice which you would expect but as Alan Potts said his books from the late 90's are out of date. So much has changed. Looks an interesting "paper" read thanks for posting NE will read it later.

No worries NEC, thankfully it's not compulsory!

Thanks for the link, an interesting read about his life and career, and I wasn't expecting the final few sad words about how close to his death that Graham had written it, but as he said to end the piece, he could die a happy man.

From the article, he joined the BBC in 1990, so presumably that piece in the opening post was filmed not long after.
