Sir Peter Alexander Ustinov CBE

What a wonderful and talented man he was!

Sir Peter Ustinov

Many, many years ago I was a salesman with IBM UK; their office products division.  I found it a wonderful job in a great company and was very happy.  The annual reward for meeting one’s sales targets was the 100% Club.  I seem to recall that at one of these lavish events, one of the guest entertainers was Peter Ustinov.  Indeed, somewhere deep in my belongings is an autograph of the great man.

Anyway, as a nice alternative to the posts on Learning from Dogs this past week, here’s a wonderful compilation of interviews of Sir Peter taken by ‘Parky’ otherwise known as Sir Michael Parkinson – ah sweet memories!
