Television's James Burke, 84. Radio 4 listeners (i.e. not me) may know him from this:
In 2019 he produced a series of five 15-minute programmes for BBC Radio 4 with the title James Burke's Web of Knowledge, in each of which he traced the connections between two widely separated people or themes, the first programme connecting Mozart to the helicopter.[13]
