Such a wonderful clip. “So Tubby, are stewed eels an aphrodisiac?” Tubby: “Well I wouldn’t know about stewed eels but jellied eels, they’ve been known to be an aphrodisiac. This was one of the things they blame the high population of the East End for.”

#OnThisDay 1975: A Taste of Britain sampled the slippery delights of stewed eels, a traditional dish that kept East-Enders fed for centuries.

The Belgian policeman who oversaw and took part in the destruction of the remains took the tooth as "a kind of hunting trophy". He only admitted to having it in 1999 and now decades later it is back with the family. It will now be taking to DR Congo where it will be buried.

He was overthrown just over two months into his time in office. Arrested, escaped, then re-arrested and finally sent to the secessionist Katanga region where he was executed.
