He once did an interview with the appalling Deborah Orr from the Independent who tried to ingratiate herself into his company by trotting out some lame historical fact. He said something like "Deborah even my cleaner knows that, stop being such a stupid c**t."
There was a series about Britain's buildings or something (I forget what it was exactly) on towards the end of last year, I think BBC Two, in which the final (?) episode was different in each region. He did the London one, and was praising of the development of London's skyline with all of those horrible jaggedy messy steel and glass buildings which they're planning at present.
I always think he resembles some kind of Brylcreem'd walrus.
No.
