Loved your story about Jeremy Bentham, a uniquely interesting man. However, you missed a recent and fascinating development in his (after)life — a nice cleaning and a trip to the states! I’m fascinated that all these years after his death, someone still had to wash his underwear!

Thank you, Jamie! I did see that he had come across the pond, but was trying to streamline for the episode/time limits. Somehow I missed the bit about his underwear, however! Not sure if I should thank you for bring that tidbit to my attention!!!
