In the spring of 1997 I was invited to have a long conversation with John Maynard Smith, recorded as part of the Web of Life series. The producer, Graham Massey, wanted these not for broadcast but to serve as an archive, for posterity, of great scientists (in this case JMS) reminiscing to a younger colleague (in this case me) whose role was to prompt rather than interview and whose words were therefore to be largely omitted from the final archive. It took place in the Maynard Smiths' Sussex house, and was a memorable experience for me, spread over two days. I miss him very much.
