Our honorable members may or may not realise that another illustrious person from Grantham (*) was Isaac Newton. It may or may not be coincidence that bbc2 ran an hour long program about him last night focused on the man rather than his science. Hey ho.

(*) Woolsthorpe, a nearby village. Newton was packed off to Cambridge rather than Oxford.
