I looked at it again yesterday, it was the Gaz Top and TV show clues that pointed me in the right direction, and the era seemed to fit, so I looked at Fred Dinenage's Wiki page

Love this type of Question! Don't have much time to set them, although I do have some similar questions at home somewhere. In the meantime please feel free to post again

Correct in every detail - hope it was fun to do, it was an interesting question to research. Which bit did you get first?

I established the Isadora part quite quickly - I've been at the site of her death - and I picked up on the Redgrave connection. I pretty much googled the rest though.

I accidentally erased it but I've put it back now.

Missing details are: The theatre is the Gordon Craig in Stevenage, Gordon Craig was a theatre impressario who was the son of Dame Ellen Terry and had a daughter with Isadora Duncan who had another daughter with Paris Singer, son of Isaac Singer, the founder of the Singer Sewing Machine Company. She married a Russian who committed suicide aged 30 and was due to have travelled on the Lusitania on the voyage during which it was torpedoed. The film Isadora starred Vanessa Redgrave whose daughter Natasha Richardson tragically died in a skiing accident. The scrip was written by Melvyn Bragg who is Chancellor of Leeds University.

This is more a 20 questions type question than a Google question. In 1945 a leading French university offered 25,000 Francs to be allowed to conduct anatomical research on a man who died that year. Who and why? Feel free to ask questions you think will help get to the answer.
