  Speaker 1: any author, but he served in the House of Commons

  Speaker 1: 27 novels, seven sets of short stories, three prison diaries,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: and three plays, all performed in London's West End. Now,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: how can you not feel like that Geoffrey's life is
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the making of a super agent or hero in a
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: classic spy novel? Did we mention that his latest novel,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Adam and Eve, was to be his final one? The
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: invitation to share a conversation with Jeffrey Archer arrived on
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: September 15th, 2026. Dubbed the greatest storyteller of our age,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the peerless master of the page turner. In fact, Time
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Magazine called him a master entertainer. The final book, Adam
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and Eve, is set at the end of World War
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I when two children are born on the same exact day. One,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: an Earl's daughter. The other, a shepherd's son. The date
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: for the conversation was set for October 14th, 2026 at 9.50 a.m.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: My reply, perfect. I can't wait. October 14th, 2026. Today
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: is October 7th, 2026. Next week, right? Just a few
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: weeks ago on BBC Breakfast, he strongly urged me and
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: millions of other men around the world to to do
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: everything we can to drop our egos and attitudes and
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: get checked up. Coming up next, the questions that were prepared,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the questions that will forever remain unanswered. Our Missed Opportunity
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: with Jeffrey Archer. This is a special edition of Missed Opportunity,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: saluting the legendary... Jeffrey Archer. Hey, thanks for coming back
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: to Missed Opportunity. This week, it's my missed opportunity with
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Archer. Now the questions. Your book is called Adam
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and Eve and instantly I feel for Mr. Bill Turner.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: He wants to stay inside a dream and he wants
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: to bury his face into that pillow, but he knows
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: reality is knocking at that door. This feels so much
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: like it's inside my imagination. I mean, their love, it
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: changes everything, including another war. Because I'm also a writer,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: putting the power of storytelling away seems absolutely impossible. So
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: when you say that this is your last novel, I
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: got to ask you a question. Are you going to
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: be jumping into short stories or more plays for a
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: live stage? This book is dedicated to Debbie Owen. This
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: is your literary agent. She has been with you since 1976, dude.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: You include Hitler quotes. If Europe decides to make Germany
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: serve a life sentence, then she must face the danger.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: What was it like to step into such quotes and speeches?
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I am a sucker for great font. And I got
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to tell you that right now. The publisher of this
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: book and your choice of lettering fits into every single
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: age group and eye setting. Love, love, love the book cover.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: The color is yellow. It's a powerful color. Then right
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: at the bottom in the tiniest of letters, it says
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: divided by class, invited by love. And now the final question.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: The book opens with, A Dear Reader Letter. You so
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: peacefully explain how several speeches inspired you to write this book.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: And there you have it. Another missed opportunity. A lost
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: piece of history. This episode is solely dedicated to Jeffrey Archer,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: whose voice will forever be heard not only in recorded conversations,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: but through every single word that he patiently planted on
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the surface of a giving tree.
