But for someone to be a "comedy genius" do you not have to laugh at his witticisms rather

Quoted message said:Quoted message said:not quite in the same league, but what about Adam Hart-Davies?
The english scientist who demonstrates all those experiments around the country.
I am not sure that he is a scientist.
That'll be 'Dr Adam Hart-Davies' to you! :-P
...he is a bona-fide scientist. He did Chemistry at Oxford and a DPhil at York, and worked in the
petro-chemical industry before becoming a presenter.
He was on a celebrity version of Mastermind a while back. He wiped the floor with everyone else on
his specialist subject, the History of Science, then failed totally on General Knowledge.
He did have a very strangely coloured bike designed by Mike Burrows, but it got nicked. On the
h*lm*t issue, he tends to sit underneath one when on the bike!

Pete.
