who used to present on Tomorrow's World - his house is quite similar to Crackpot Cottage.
It's a proper cottage in the country. He generates his own electricity using a steam engine and has two different railway tracks running through the garden.
He once told me he was called up personally by Hitler at the start of WW2. He wiped his arse on it, mailed it back and left Austria to join the British Navy.
