British Comedy Guide

Danny Baker

Underrated or overrated?

He's great on the Radio, and has written a lot of Comedy.
I know he used to write for TFI Friday & Jonathon Ross, but I didn't realise that he wrote a lot of uncreditted stuff for Jeremy Clarkson as well.

Ok I'm not really making a good case for him I'll admit..

Have you ever heard the urban myth about him being to blame for Bob Marley's death? It's on Wikipedia.

His radio stuff is great. His Saturday morning show on 5 Live is my highlight of the week but then I live a particularly sheltered life. I've heard the Bob Marley stuff before but not about Clarkson. Shame he didn't tread on Clarkson's foot.

The Saturday show is good.
And I may steal a few of his ideas for threads if the BCG stays this quiet.
