To 1986: speechwriter for NHK TV, Tokyo, of a documentary looking at the British political system and regulation, going back to the anti-corruption and secret ballot acts of the late 19th century  – in the wake of Japan’s ‘Recruit’ corruption scandal, which led to demands to create an incorruptible political system, similar to that in the UK.
