Well-known interviewers choose the people they wish to interview.

"As Chairman of the International Publishing Corporation, the world's largest press empire (including sixteen newspapers and over two hundred magazines), Mr. Cecil King is regarded as one of the most powerful men in Britain. But just how powerful is he? Is he after political power for himself? Why has he apparently lost faith in a Prime Minister whom he once championed? And precisely what kind of leadership does he seek for Britain?"
...is why Robin Day talks to Cecil King.

by Charles Dickens
Dramatised in thirteen parts by Hugh Leonard

This new serial is just over halfway through and our hero Nicholas has suffered greatly at the hands of the cruel schoolmaster Mr. Squeers. But Nicholas is not free of Squeers yet: for in today's episode Squeers pays a visit to his uncle Ralph and together they plot to get even with Nicholas...
Meanwhile Nicholas and his simple friend Smike have left Vincent Crummles's company of strolling players and set out for London after receiving a note that Kate is in danger.
As Nicholas hurries back he overhears a conversation in a restaurant.
A stranger is talking about Kate in most familiar and uncomplimentary terms. Nicholas demands to know the man's name: but the stranger refuses. Nicholas follows him to his private cab, but is struck by a whip. The horse rears up, whinnying in terror, and gallops off. Seconds later the coach crashes and overturns.
For a moment Nicholas hesitates, then takes to his heels...
