That is of course Humph rather than Sandy http://www.g0akh.f2s.com/isihac/Sound_C ... s_Page.php Quote: Who will ever forget the show's, now famous, commonwealth tour, when Lionel Blair jumped up and displayed his Passage To India for the full two minutes! Quote: No one who witnessed the event will ever forget the sparkle in Lionel Blair's eye as he received Free Willy from Michael Aspel for two minutes! Quote: The next game is Sound Charades. This is based on the erstwhile television favourite Give Us A Clue, where teams of players used to delight their audience by miming the titles of songs, films or plays against a strict time limit. The most highly skilled of all was Lionel Blair, but how the tears of frustration welled up in his eyes during their Italian tour, at not being allowed the use of his mouth to finish off Two Gentlemen Of Verona.

It's unlikely that anyone will know what I am talking about, but there was a mechanics/ garage in NW London with a large painted mural of three people - two men (one had a beard) and in the middle of the two men was Sandy Toksvig. I remember looking it up on the internet some years later and not really finding anything out about it, but I think it may have been somewhere near the Cricklewood area (though my geography is rubbish... it may have been down towards Kensal Green/Kensal Rise. |

It has its ups and downs but still produces quality like Victoria Coren ripping Godfrey bloom a new one, and whenever farage is on they give him enough rope to hang himself. Slightly off-topic but guess it belongs in this thread. I have been keeping up with the latest season of HIGNFY on iPlayer and it is indeed still really funny and relevant. No idea if the odd episodes I was referring to were the 'downs' and I was just getting unlucky, or I was in a bad mood or something, but the three episodes I've seen this season have all been great - with both Hislop and Merton on excellent form, good guests, and fine hosts. Also, Victoria Coren, deffo would. (She was host last week. And one of the guests this week was Camilla Long. Would. In a posh sort of way.) |

I'm afraid Victoria Coren/Mitchell has one of those faces I want to slap. And Camilla Long is spoiled goods, having allegedly been interfered with by DLT. |

I can't quite get my head around anyone who insists on painting those beautiful Ferraris white, but then, perhaps its merely jealousy on my part... Let's be honest, the minute he said he 'wasn't interested' it was always going to be him, wasn't it? Bet he negotiated an eye-watering fee; he's made a fair few quid out of Auntie over the years. |

Yeah, well, they are his cars so if he wants them to be a colour other than the traditional Ferrari colour* that's up to him. *Yellow, obv. |

After seeing him and Clarkson on the TFI Friday one off last week it became a bit more obvious he was in the chair for it. I liked stuff like TFI Friday at the start but he did become a bit of dick towards the end and sort of self imploded career wise. He has come back well though, I don't listen to radio very much but by all accounts his is a good show, will be interesting to see what he is like on TV after years of not seeing him. Wonder were it leaves Clarkson for any rival shows also it wasn't mentioned if the other two would join Chris Evans |

I think he's had all his Ferraris re sprayed — last time I saw them at Goodwood a couple of years ago they weren't white. |

http://www.scunthorpetelegraph.co.uk/GU ... story.html Guy Martin? I'd watch that, especially if they had him riding some hilarious contraption to his near-death each week like in Guy Martin's Speed. (Though in those episodes the projects took months of work -- I imagine you could have some engineering students cobble together any old crap each week and Guy would still try and make it go fast) |

Hope they spend their recess thinking up some new material and ideas; smashing up old caravans being driven at speed round a racetrack is *so* 2003 (like the OS on my computer )Would be nice to see the back of SIARPC as well IMO, but we won't. |

I think that the "history of <whatever>" bits were really good, but driving a Ford Fiesta from a landing craft with 4 Marines as passengers was superb. That whole sequence was superb. |
