Respected environmentalist and architect of the Gaia theory, James Lovelock reveals the poetry and prose that have influenced his life.

He's joined at his Launceston home by actors Jenny Coverack and Bill Wallis, who read entertaining snippets of his selections with gusto and gravitas.

Lovelock - a warm and engaging narrator - explains how works such as Gray's Elegy and The Purist by Ogden Nash have affected his outlook.
