1. Nils Alwall: The quiet, unassuming Swede

During the night, between 3rd and 4th September 1946, things were stirring in the basement of the internal medicine department, at the university hospital of Lund, Southern Sweden. A 47-year-old man had been admitted for treatment. His main problem was uraemia (urea in the blood), but he was also suffering from silicosis (a lung disorder), complicated by pneumonia.

11. 17 Jan 1980

I experienced a "madelaine moment" when I found this ancient yellowed cutting from the glory days of Radio Times (when it was the largest circulation magazine in the UK). It features my illustration of bizarre objects for a typically genteel BBC quiz show. The pleasure of drawing this came flooding back. Note that they were showing one of my favourite films from childhood.
