A rare public appearance together from Britain's most famous and controversial writing family. Kingsley Amis and Martin Amis meet Paul Vaughan to discuss their lives and their relationship. It is a conversation that flows from the merits of literary prizes, to PG Wodehouse, to the Americanisation of English. Kingsley Amis (1922-1995) is perhaps best known for his 1954 novel, Lucky Jim, and The Old Devils (1986). By 1989, Martin Amis (1949-2023) had written novels including The Rachel Papers (1973), Money (1984) and in September of 1989, London Fields had just been published. Producer: Anthony Denslelow First broadcast on Â鶹Éç Radio 4 in December 1989.
