Peter Hahn lives very simply. He rises with the sun, bakes his own bread, works all day on his 25-acre vineyard in the Loire – mostly bent double with a pair of secateurs in his hands – and never, ever, takes a holiday. Or, for that matter, a shortcut. Each year, he makes about 10,000 bottles of Vouvray. But not the way most people make wine in the modern world. Instead, Peter harks back hundreds of years. When he can, he uses horses to plough his vineyards – ‘so much gentler than a tractor’.

The Beatles – as we all know – were the biggest and bestselling band in history. From the minute they burst on to the scene in 1962, with Love Me Do, they changed the face of music for ever. They totted up the most No 1 hits, the most No 1 albums, and had awards, accolades and prizes coming out of their ears. But, most of all, they made us proud to be British, gave us joy, laughter and sadness and, as a result, boasted the loudest, most loyal, enduring, proud, passionate fan base ever.

Pretty much everyone in France knows the name Emile Soleil. They recognise his lovely smiling face. They know that he was a gorgeous little boy with blond hair and brown eyes who loved to play in the sunshine outside his grandparents' holiday house in the mountains. They call him 'le petit Emile'. And, over the past couple of years, they have followed every twist and turn of his monstrous story and counted their blessings that he wasn't their son. Because Emile is dead.
