The McWhirter twins were the founders of the Guinness Book of Records, Norris and Ross.Ross was murdered by the IRA in 1975 and Norris died last year.
Norris: http://uk.imdb.com/name/nm0574769/bio.They both presented Record Breakers on the BBC with Roy Castle
http://www.screenonline.org.uk/tv/id/571186/index.html which was based on the Guinness Book of Record, which I used to watch until Roy Castle died because it was the same. Roy Castle was born in Huddersfield and used to go to a drama school in Elland (where I live)Louise x (bit of useless knowledge for the day :) )
