Tom Harrisson is generally remembered for founding Mass-Observation, the pioneering social survey organisation that documented the daily lives of ordinary British people - most famously of Londoners during the Blitz - and effectively invented modern market research.

He made documentaries for the BBC, was a regular radio pundit, an authority on erotic art and on the conservation of the organ-utan, wrote books, and when he was killed in a car crash in Thailand was still only 66.
