9:58Now PlayingJ B Priestley welcomes Hywel Davies into his estate at Brook Hill, Isle of Wight, for the series At Home. The Bradford-born writer elaborated on his writing process, the curious inspiration for character names, and also his less than Jolly Jack reputation.
Renowned archaeologist and author Jacquetta Hawkes (Priestley's wife) also shows us around the grounds of their home, before J B unveils his newly acquired instrument - a television set, and expresses his hopes for what it might eventually host.
