I loved his story A Rose for Ecclesiastes, in which he makes the work of a translator seem as exciting as any other exploration; and there is a great line in it where he describes something (a communications device, I think) as having the thickness of a poet's first volume. |

Roy Hudd was the first comedian I was aware of. I remember being in the house on my own once time and wanting to listen him on the radio but not understanding how the stations worked, and then going next door to ask them how to do it (they were not impressed: I was only supposed to go there in an emergency, and my idea of what constituted an emergency did not match theirs).
