Part two first covers Lord Dainton's involvement with various committees - National Radiological Protection Board, British Library Board, council of the Royal Postgraduate Medical School - and his association with the Goldsmiths' Company and other projects offering financial support to students. He then selects the most memorable from the many awards and honorary degrees he has received; the Curie Medal from the Polish Academy of Science and an honorary degree from Uppsala University. The interview finishes with Lord Dainton reflecting on receiving his knighthood, being called to the House of Lords, and his family.
