He is actually quite an affable, funny bloke - it's just on screen that he goes all Yorkshire (apart from Have I Got News..when he was also quite entertaining and self depracating). I still think Top Gear is appalling boys with toys pap! Don't worry though, you're not losing it. It's just that, apart obviously from El Diablo and Thatcher, no-one is 100 per cent pure evil.Barry Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000494244277958295noreply@blogger.com
