Judy was unable to move to Britain for family reasons so Bernard went to the States where he was refused a Green Card. It was while working in Belfast that he met Judy, a visiting American, and fell in love. He began as a researcher on the Nationwide programme and ended as Head of Current Affairs Television for the BBC in Northern Ireland. He was adopted by a family in Essex who belonged to a religious sect called the Peculiar People (and they were), but escaped to London University and, after a stint as a teacher, he joined BBC Television where he worked for the next 10 years. Bernard Cornwell was born in London – a 'warbaby' – whose father was a Canadian airman and mother in Britain’s Women’s Auxiliary Air Force.
