Indeed. It was stated to be a Q&A session, and I'm sure the whole room pretty well realised we had a time constraint. What happened though is that Sadler did not ask any questions, but basically IMO came across as if he was one of the panel expressing his views for at least ten mins without pause, which was probably longer than anyone on the panel spoke continuously. Remember, this was a 60-minute session, and the panel spoke for about 45 mins.

Had he said up-front that he'd found all that interesting (I think we all did - the panel had the audience's full attention throughout), and would anyone mind him adding two or three mins of his own to complement what they had said, I'm sure that (given his knowledge) people would have welcomed that input. At any future event of this nature, I personally would be interested to hear Sadler on the panel sharing his thoughts.

The "social history" point had already been well-made by the panel (indeed, that's the part that interests me the most), especially by the Prof, and indeed had been pretty central to much of what they had to impart. And quite a few books had been mentioned by the panel already, although Sadler added one or two that his own firm publish.

Again though, not to detract from what I found was a very interesting session. And thanks to Tigertot for drawing attention to it in the first place.
