Over the years, American Jim Haynes had hundreds of thousands of people round for dinner, most of them complete strangers. Jim lived in Paris, and for more than 40 years, he had an open door policy every Sunday. He became known as the 'godfather of social networking' - and all manner of people dropped by to meet him.

Jim died earlier this month aged 87. Jo Fidgen spoke to him in July 2015 about his incredible dinner parties.
