Video Description
Roald Dahl on the desert island this time where he looks back over his life. He talks about his time serving in the second world war and how his writing career got started. He talks about his wife the actor Patricia Neal having a stroke and how he managed at that time. He reveals his somewhat volatile relationship with hollywood directors and tv producers when dealing with his work. He talks about how he enjoyed doing the script for the Bond movie You Only Live Twice and how his experience of doing the script for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was not a happy one. Also he reveals he was not happy with the film Charlie & the Chocolate factory and I wonder what he would have thought of the Spielberg Film The BFG? This is an edited version of the interview with added music. Please leave comments if you so wish.
