Programme about the abuse Charles Kennedy received before his death.

I met Charlie a few times; he was a genuinely nice man, and a loss to politics.
"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."

I knew him quite well through university and debating. I do think that it was unfortunate for him that he won the seat in 1983, but agree he was a huge loss.

Now had a chance to watch it, and it's a very good documentary on his life. It's in so many ways a very sad story.
