About the Author

Ralph Hill spent all his working life in the media until retiring with ill health in 1980. Born in 1928 in Leeds, Yorkshire, he joined the BBC first as a trainee engineer before undergoing National Service in the RAF. He then returned to the BBC as an engineer and qualified in audio engineering. In the 1960s, he changed over to program division, finally becoming planning manager (progs) in the North of England, responsible for network TV programs between the Trent and the Tweed. He gave talks on the work of the BBC to clubs and associations all over the North and once gave the yearly Faraday Lecture in Manchester. Having written verse and poetry for as long as he can remember, he now lives and writes quietly in South East Essex.
