The entire Dampier family has been ill with a really nasty virus. So apologies for taking this long to get this episode out.
You may never have heard of Howard Florey. But chances are you owe this Australian your life or the life of someone close to you. His work on the development of the first penicillin-based antibiotic medicines in the 1940s has probably saved millions of people worldwide.
We also revisit the Hilton Bombing. A new book by Rachel Landers called 'Who Bombed the Hilton' puts forward the case that it was actually the Ananda Marga that carried out the bombing. It seems I may have been wrong!!
