Ep8: "The Man: Tim Uncle!"

It's 1987.

Tim Grandage, a young up-and-comer of a banker, assigned to a branch in central Kolkata, befriends street kids who hang around outside his branch. 

They look after his car, fearing any damage would send blame their way, but never ask for a single rupee.

One day, medical attention is required, Tim steps in... and the story begins. 

Future Hope was a dream, born on the floor of his apartment, and, 36 years later, it remains this man's passion. Relentlessly caring, finding solutions, making connections. He never stops, as you’ll hear.  But after more than 35 years on the frontline, what does the future hold?

This season-closing profile puts the man in the spotlight; the man who slept by the door of his flat to stop kids running away, the man who commuted from Hong Kong just to check his students were fine at the weekend; The Man: Tim Uncle.
