We have added a photo to Ron’s biography page

 

In 1980 film buff Gerald Lovell wrote to Ron, enclosing a list of what he believed to be a definitive list of his film and TV scores to date, and asking him several questions about his career.

We don’t know precisely what questions were asked, but they can be guessed from Ron’s replies.

They begin with a reference to Doctor Who, and Ron’s replies are extremely illuminating!
