Hell-Fire Club interviews with BBC

I've been away with work and research, but still super enthused about the Hell-Fire Clubs! The media types quite like the story as there are lots of spooky myths relating to the club sites.

Historian tackles more than the past

TV Presenter Dan Snow tackled a looter outside his home in London. Hearing the windows of his local pub smashed in, Snow rushed out onto the street. A youth ran past him, preoccupied with carrying looted shoes. The historian told BBC 5 live Breakfast how he seized the opportunity to tackle him to the ground and then sat on the looter until police arrived.

On a complete side note, while looking up a picture of him on the internets, I found lots of people have taken a strong fancy to his face, while another had this snarly piece to say:

He presents history documentaries on the BBC. He's unbeleivably wooden in front of the camera, almost unbearably posh - and more than just a little bit geeky. 

He's only 31, but his hair and fashion sense make him look more like a 45 year-old dentist. Whenever he's on TV, droning on about King Henry VIII or something, I just sit there staring at him, thinking of ways to corrupt him.
