The Least Important Man was the ninth story in the Bernice Summerfield anthology The Dead Men Diaries. It was written by Steven Moffat.

Gavin Oliver Scott had a thoroughly un-extraordinary life in the 20th century... but, since his corpse was the only one to survive intact to the 26th century, he has had a most extraordinary death.
