Heroes of the Western World

No.1 CHRIS PACKHAM


Former presenter of The Really Wild Show and Governor of Hong Kong. As well as having double jointed thumbs Chris Really is wild about animals, his favourite animal is goose liver pate.

No. 2 COZY POWELL

Brilliant Jazz musician and fascist best known for his famous “Rivers of Blood” speech. Almost immortalised in song by the Beatles when they wrote a song about Cozy’s garden after it appeared on the BBC programme Groundforce. “The song’s lyric ran I’d Like to be/Sipping my tea/In Cozy Powell’s back garden in the shade” but at the last minute the band changed the lyric for one about Octopuses. The original version can be found on The Beatles’ Anthology volume 3 album.
