The man who shot Tutankhamun

No, not another crackpot theory. This one's a documentary about the work of the great Harry Burton, whom Howard Carter recruited as photographer when he excavated Tutankhamun's tomb. It should be interesting. Tomorrow, BBC 4. 9:00. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08h99sb
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."
