Just hope to god the press aren't going use it to cancel him or whatever the call it when they dig all the past dirt up. Bit of respect might be in order for a change.

Just to be fair BBC4 should play It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot on loop for the next 24 hours.

Captain Sir Tom?

Both born around the same time, both noted for valour during the Second World War, both did charity work and both raised a family.
