With Brian Sewell. Ideas include the horse-bike, putting the clocks back an hour every night, and having all Thomas the Tank Engine books narrated by Brian Sewell.
Ideas
- Anesthetics on airlines to help jetlag: Genius
- Three point plan: 1. Set up a premium rate phone-line. 2. Buy a pick-up or white van, paint the phone-line on it with the words "How is my driving" underneath. 3. Swerve around a motorway like a lunatic. People will telephone the phone-line and the driver makes money: Not genius
- The horse-bike: Not genius
- Putting the clocks back an hour every night: Winner
- Have all Thomas the Tank Engine books narrated by Brian Sewell: Not genius
Notes
The Thomas the Tank Engine section is cut out of the CD collection.
