Chances are it will be Captain Tom Moore, the Bedfordshire veteran who walked round his garden and hit headlines round the world. A hundred laps and a hundredth birthday were quickly followed by £30 million for NHS charities, a knighthood and Piers Morgan's Life Stories. So what gave Sir Tom the X factor?
