On Top Gear? Well, good point. I did like the bit where the 'v' in "Reventon" is (apparently) pronounced as a 'b', Clarkson ending with "this car will get you plenty of 'badge'.

Maybe you had to be more pissed than I was at that time of the evening. Signature_______ .'_/_|_\_'.

I think I got away with that" Having seen Clarkson on IQ last week, the thought that he could *actually* be funny is laughable. He was absolutely stomped on by the IQ regulars and looked like a fish out of water. He almost sighed with relief when the programme came to an end.

IQ, Whose Line is it Anyway, HIGNFY, Buzzcocks etc all show who can be spontaneously funny rather than having to think about it. It's a very specific ability, & I don't think it automatically makes you unfunny if you can't do it. Take Richard Curtis for example - would he be suddenly considered incapable of being funny if he couldn't 'perform' on a comedy panel quiz?

He almost sighed with relief when the programme came to an end. Clarkson *is* an IQ regular - he's been on at least 3 times. He was 'ok' last week, but was really pretty good on the previous appearance I saw.
