This week its Lorna’s turn to report, and she focuses on James Holman, who at the time of his death was arguably the most travelled man in the world. He zig zagged across the globe, all this despite the fact that he went blind early in his life. James Holman also went on to write travel books, and as a result we attempt to shorten the name of his first novel (it was such a long one!).

A seamless edit in the middle of the episode hides a McDonald’s trip and some car issues.
And finally, in Lorna’s movie corner we discuss James Holman the New Zealand director.
