Kenneth Allsop
About
Kenneth Allsop (29 January 1920 – 23 May 1973) was a British broadcaster, author and naturalist. He was a regular reporter on the BBC current affairs programme Tonight during the 1960s. He also was Rector of Edinburgh University and won the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize. In 1958 he wrote an account of 1950s British literature, The Angry Decade, at the end of which he remarked that: "In this technologically triumphant age, when the rockets begin to scream up towards the moon but the human mind seems at an even greater distance, anger has a limited use. Love has a wider application, and it is that which needs describing wherever it can be found so that we may all recognise it and learn its use." He was married in St Peter's Church, Ealing, in March 1942. He served in the R.A.F. in the Second World War and had a leg amputated after an injury on an assault course, which left him in constant pain.
