I think we've done this before but;
I have mentioned on here before that a friend of mine is sure he saw a feature on 'Nationwide' just prior to 1977 about a plan to carve the Isle of Wight (or maybe Man) in to the shape of the Queen's head and has been desperate in recent decades for someone to confirm that they saw it too.
In the same vein, I once saw a one-off TV play (mid/late eighties I think) based on a true story about a British spy and covert Welsh Nationalist who was involved with the putative plans for a link-up between the IRA, the German Abwehr and Welsh and Scottish nationalists during the war
I really don't remember much about it apart from it being a terrific if bizarre plot and the guy being portayed as (unsurprisingly) a complete fuck-up. Oh, and I remember his line when he was finally arrested was "Don't touch me, I'm special!".
Anyone recall either the play or the person it was based one?
