Arthur C Clarke ....BBC Horizon interview 1964....

[Ilie Pandia]

Hello Cidersomerset,

Thanks for writing that post. I shall watch those parts two. After writing my post above I had a similar realization that his ideas were common in the context Arthur C Clark lived it. And indeed, even me typing stuff on this computer and the technology that I enjoy, I owe it in a big part to visionaries like Clarke.

So yes I was a bit harsh, and I stand corrected

[Cidersomerset]

Thanks Ilie.. No problem thats how we all learn.. LOL...Cheers Steve

to hear these modern giants discussing it....Steve

When I listen to him then listen to Bill Ryan, I hear a big difference in pronunciations. Why is that?

Because the accents in the UK are very diverse. Daniel Jones, a phonetician who studied the pronunciation of the English language noted that the accent varies every fifteen miles; one of the most densely varying regions in the world in terms of accent. Add to that the fact that the accents changed over time, you'd be hard pushed to find anybody from Clarke's era and from the modern era who speak at all alike; even the Queen's pronunciation has changed over the past 50 years, and the very conservative RP of the the Royal family changes a lot more slowly than most accents in the UK.

Hope that clears a few things up lol

Also, Bill was brought up in Africa I think. In some places in England, you can tell what part of town people are from! And in the northern cities of Liverpool and Newcastle, I hear they have interpreting services for businessmen from the London area down south!

Thanks, Seikou-Kishi,
Very true but as far as the Queen is concerned, I think she's probably taken lessons in softening her accent as a P.R. exercise to make her accent more 'palatable' to the modern British public. I think Prince William has done the same thing.

He really was a visionary....

The Goodies and Arthur C. Clarke

Arthur C. Clarke, author of "2001: A Space Odyssey", "Rendezvous With Rama",
"Fountains Of Paradise" and of course many, many others (it is so difficult to pick
my favourite), died aged 90 on 19th March 2008. I well remember the early 1980's
when he presented the TV series "Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World" and the
Goodies did a wonderful parody of this show...

There was a point in time where some very worrying stories were emanating from Sri Lanka regarding A.C. Clarke. He must have ruffled someone's feathers along the way.

I too was a fan of his TV shows when I was a nipper.......... you know, when it was all fields.
