    Comedian apparently. I only know him from that Jonathan Creek on bbc and qi.

    Also wrote a book about suffering sexual abuse as a child. Brave thing to tell the world about.

    Jonathon Creek was pretty ****ing good when I was a kid but ever since I've questioned this man's presence on TV.

    I just don't get it

    I think it's likely a victim of it's time in that regard. A lot of utter **** was very watchable back then because the bar was low.

    I loved Randall and Hopkirk deceased with Vic and Bob for ****'s sake. That wouldn't get past an elevator pitch in this day and age.

    Picks up on something clever, someone else says, and repeats it with exaggerated accents and hand gestures ...

    ... I have mates who are funnier.

    To be fair she always comes across as pretty intelligent, the guy never stood a chance.

    True, I always thinks she underplays how clever she is so she doesn't look like a male version of Stephen Fry <laugh>

    I've never found out what Alan Davies forté is exactly. He's not a comic, he's not a gameshow host, he's not a literary genius....Buggered if i know.
