If I'd been responsible for it I would probably have trouble remembering it.  did speculate to me after watching Humphrey Taylor's interview on the morning after on the BBC parliament replay that maybe Harris themselves did the calculation(though one of Sir Robert Worcester's books says Taylor was 'categorically' reassured beforehand the Harris data wouldn't be used to make this sort of calculation). I don't know if Robert Waller might be able to say how much when he worked on exit polls the seat calculations were done by Harris and how much by separate teams at ITN(BBC's approach was have your own team it seems) I was not aware that Michael Steed was ever a Professor. Unjust as it sounds, he remained a Senior Lecturer until his retirement from the University of Manchester. I took a number of his courses at Undergraduate and Postgraduate level and he was my Tutor in my final year. |

He has suffered from ill health but he was very open/knowledgeable in his email replies to me, wish all academics in his field were! |
