"Whence all but he had fled"

For the sake of completeness and because it's an interesting listen:

"Miles Jupp's Muscular Lines.

Can a book of poetry for boys which inspired young men at the beginning of the 20th century work its magic on a new generation? Comedian Miles Jupp revisits his old prep school with a book of Muscular Lines to see if the stirring verse about battles, exploration and moral values is relevant today. Some of today's heroes and explorers reveal the poems that keep them going when times get tough.

"The World Shall Hear From Me Again!"

Fu Manchu, as any fule kno, has about as much to do with Asian culture as roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. Much has been said about Sax Rohmer's rather blatant xenophobia and the persistence of Yellow Peril paranoia in the decades since The Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu (aka The Insidious Dr. Fu Manchu) was first published in 1913. This in the main is not one of those programmes. In Fu Manchu In Edinburgh, Miles Jupp investigates the character's hidden Edinburgh connections. Did the 'Devil Doctor' get his doctorate at Edinburgh University in the 1870's?  If so, what knowledge might he have learned at that time?

"By Jove Carruthers!"

From The Solitary Cyclist to The Riddle Of The Sands, he certainly used to get about that Carruthers chap. Come with us now, true believers, as Miles Jupp searches for his secret origins.

From The Radio Times:

"No self-respecting Boys' Own adventure would be complete without a square-jawed subaltern, saving the Empire for his Queen and class, and invariably called Carruthers. Miles Jupp embarks on his own perilous journey, beset with marauding swans and errant bicycles (just listen, it will all make sense) to find out who this character was actually based on. He comes up with some unexpected answers, not least of which is that he may well have been Scottish.
