Talk:John Brunner (novelist)/Archive 1

BBC Television

I distinctly recall watching, maybe sometime in the 70's/early 80's, a documentary in a reading series that covered John Brunner. Does anyone know what it was called and when it actually appeared, and what was in it? Also, I believe that some of Brunner's work may have been adapted for television. I am thinking of a short story in the Out of the Unknown series called 'The Last Lonely Man'. Details may possibly be available at the BFI website.abdullahazzam

The [http://www.625.org.uk/ootu/ootuag.htm Out of the Unknown Episode Guide] lists Brunner's episodes as Some Lapse of Time and The Last Lonely Man. abdullahazzam

While browsing WAP on my phone I once discovered a list of futuristic neologisms coined by Brunner while writing his work. I think that this would make an interesting addition to External Links, if I can find it again. Agree? abdullahazzam

Brunner's death

I've removed the bit by "66.9.172.83" about him "collapsing in the main hall" and its being sealed off by the police and so on - this never happened. Plenty of people who were there can testify to this; see also http://news.ansible.co.uk/a98.html, which describes the scene at his hospital bedside.
