Lots of refs - good length and I know its basis cos I heard the radio programme! Actually I think the facial expert said they were similar but they were definitely different people. Very good anyway! I did tick this and then thought that the hook may be a tadge strong. Could you phrase a hook like "his own sons were sure that Henry Maxim was their father Cantelo" or something similar...

Agreed...

ALT1: ... that William Cantelo invented an early machine gun then mysteriously disappeared?
