Obituary series. John Wilson on Senator George McGovern, Italian cyclist Fiorenzo Magni, humanist Paul Kurtz, TV presenter Mike Morris and Major Roy Bates.

On Last Word this week:

Senator George McGovern, who lost to Richard Nixon in the 1972 Presidential election, is remembered by Gary Hart and Henry Kissinger.

Italian cycling champion - and three times winner of the Giro d'Italia race - Fiorenzo Magni.

Paul Kurtz, founder of the 'skeptic' and humanist movements.

TVAM presenter Mike Morris is remembered by her fellow presenter Anne Diamond.

And Major Roy Bates, the self-styled prince of a disused sea fort which he dubbed the free state of Sealand.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
