Heard him tonight on Just a Minute and he was brilliant! Very funny & clever man.

His middle name is Daubeney.
He has three children: Benet, a barrister; Saethryd, a journalist; and Aphra, a former government economist and now financial director of a veterinary business.
He has a grandchild called Kiyo.
A commoner he most certainly isn't.
He was on the first episode of the new series of Just A Minute and it reminded me how much I intensely dislike him. A pompous prig who prattles on as though he expects us to find every word he says the funniest thing ever.
Since this was first posted, I've changed my mind. He's a creepy c**t.
I had tickets to see him in his one-man show in Pompey last June. I am currently awaiting the third re-scheduled date.
Is he taking part in the Olympics?

I think you have to have a certain level of buy-in to his shtick. I can totally see how it'd grate if you take him entirely at face value, but I've always felt he's almost parodying himself.
Have you seen him in celebrity gogglebox?
Anything salacious and he's foaming at the mouth making lewd remarks.
He's touchy and creepy.

Absolutely not.
