These wonderful interviews show what a fabulous raconteur Robert was and what a naughty sense of humour he had. The wide ranging conversations show what a very intelligent and progressive man Shaw was and how deeply wounded he was by his fathers death. These interviews are an absolute treasure and show a very human side to this mercurial genius and his affection and connection to Dick Cavett is very obvious throughout.
