| Re: The Winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award for 2007 is… Hi Claire, Welcome to Chronicles! At least the judges were all still talking to each other at the end (as far as I could tell), so the debate couldn't have been too heated.  |

| Re: The Winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award for 2007 is… Hi, Patrick, Many thanks -- short but sweet (the interview, not me ). Actually, it was shorter than it might have been due to my part being conducted via mobile phone from the back of a taxi, because the taxi driver the BBC organised couldn't find where I live.Still worth going into Cambridge though, because I reached the studio in time to conduct a second interview, which I only found out about this morning. Like you, I'm looking forward to hearing what the judges choose. Should be a fun (if damp) evening! |
