Did Lord 'Lucky' Lucan lead the life of a hippy in Goa after fleeing Britain 30 years ago?
That's the theory in a new book, going against the conventional wisdom that he drowned himself in the sea off Newhaven after allegedly killing the family nanny.
Jungly Barry looked a little like the Earl and, like him, played an expert game of backgammon.
He would also get drunk as a lord but there the similarity ends.
He died several years ago and dead men tell no tales. Our advice to those on the errant peer's trail is to carry on Lucan.
