BBC 4 broadcast a Profile by Mark Coles on the man yesterday: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000gd7v
For those interested, the FT recently did a profile on Piot as well: https://www.ft.com/content/de0a7c9e-56ff-11ea-a528-dd0f971febbc
Obs not insightful, but the FT bit includes some interesting stuff on his shitload of titles and decorations. I like the motto on his baronal crest or whatever the fuck you call it. Also nice how he shuns his many monikers (Mick Jagger of microbiology, virus hunter, rock star of MB, Indy Jones of MB etc): "Shit happens. It’s more understanding what’s going on" and adds he prefers to call himself a detective instead.
