“Hi Will

Terry Fincher on This Is Your Life, April 21st 1976
My wife Lucy had this recording of her Dad on an old VHS tape, and we just got it digitised. I have uploaded it to YouTube. Just via Facebook, it has already had nearly 500 views in a couple of days! I love the opening shot where his business partner at Photographers International, Paul Sargent, brings him into meet Struan Cooper, the Daily Express picture editor. A Fleet Street picture desk in its heyday!”
