We would have expected to see television interviews, a book, a newspaper serialisation and possibly a film script.</p> <p>“But despite weeks spent scouring the media, we have not found a trace of them. We’re getting seriously concerned. We don’t know how much longer anyone as well known as Sir Mark Thatcher can survive out there without the oxygen of publicity.” </p>
