of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, in the 1970s and 80s he was impressive for being able to greet all Corpuscles by name. He achieved this by studying photographs and admitted to having occasional problems identifying new students when beards were in fashion. Media appearances and controversy Dover was the subject of an edition of the BBC Radio 4 programme "In the Psychiatrist's Chair", presented by Anthony Clare. He also featured in a BBC Television series "The Greeks", presented by Christopher Burstall. In 1994 he published a controversial autobiography entitled "Marginal Comment". This prompted media attention because of its frank description of his private life, and Dover's admission of having contemplated helping to bring about the death of one of the fellows of Corpus Christi College, the historian Trevor Aston, by refusing to respond to a suicide attempt. Family Dover resided in St Andrews, Fife, where he and his family have had a home since around 1960. He married Audrey Ruth Latimer in March 1947; Lady Dover died in December 2009 after 62 years of marriage. Dover died on 7 March 2010, survived by a son and daughter.
