Inspiring wisdom from E. E. Cummings (d otd 1962): "To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight." "The most wasted of all days is one without laughter."

The wonderful Hans Gal b otd 1890. A major composer and true musician, who made it his business to study every instrument in the orchestra - as he told us when he was 96. 'Yes,' added his wife. 'Hans worked very hard when he was young. I only hope it hasn't shortened his life.'

Tonight on BBC2 at 9pm. I made a short film about Anita Lasker-Wallfisch in 1995 for an ITV series called ’Sunday Live’. We tried to get a film commissioned but no joy-so I’m delighted to see she finally has her own documentary. A remarkable woman, it was a privilege to meet her.
