Fascinating segment this morning about Orcadian explorer John Rae. His story is incredible. His unpleasant truth about the Franklin expedition led to him dying in some disgrace and obscurity, his reputation only restored later when his account was validated. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ra...

Sorry to be a know-it-all but Dr.Feelgood got their name from another song called "Doctor Feelgood" recorded in 1964 by Johnny Kidd & The Pirates. Wilko was a huge fan of Mick Green, the Pirates guitar player...... 😀😀
