There don’t seem to be many interviews with Sutcliff readable online, so here’s a transcript of her 1983 BBC Radio Desert Island Discs interview, which you may already have listened to when the link was posted here in March. If you didn’t, it’s half an hour long, draws on her 1983 memoir Blue Remembered Hills, and her observations about her work

Am amused that she liked cowboy films, given the treatment given in The Eagle.
