Captain Tom: Where Did the Money Go? review: Tomorrow did not turn out to be a good day after all

C5

Is there life after death? I only ask because it really would be extra sad if Captain Sir Tom Moore, our late national treasure, is up there somewhere in heaven looking down at what has befallen the charity set up in his name, his family and indeed his own personal legacy. As if symbolically, the local council has ordered the home spa complex built in the grounds of his house, the so-called Captain Tom Foundation Building, to be torn down. The demolition job on the reputation of his daughter and son-in-law, Hannah and Colin Ingram-Moore is already well underway. 

Channel Five’s Captain Tom: Where Did the Money Go? doesn’t tell us anything new but it does, with a rare and admirable clarity, say what did happen to all the money Captain Tom and his charities raised.
