Sir Ranulph Fiennes (not dead, just great!)

He's just my absolute hero! He's fab, what a guy indeed (are you saying that in an Ace Rimmer voice? ?)

Well done Ran, you visionary madman you.

No, but I vaguely remember the reference (as long as it's Red Dwarf when Rimmer came back as a heroic guy?).

He (RF) does strike me as a teensy bit mad, didn't he cut off one or two of his own fingers when they went black from frostbite?

Indeed he did. In his shed. With a hacksaw ?

But he's cool though. Talk about never giving up though - having a heart attack while climbing Everest and then going back and doing it again? Bonkers mad, but in such a marvelous way.

It was heroic Rimmer, yes!

I agree PUP, he's fab.
