t'aint - well when Jeremy took home from the BBC only a fraction of what they paid Dale Winton or Anthea Turner I hardly begrudge Jeremy his shilling.

Besides - he made the majority of his money by founding the prodution company that produced his Speed series (excellent Aviation content) plus his chatshow plus his video spin offs. Thats his own company founded with his own money at his own risk.

Have I Got News For You remains one of the best shows on television.

Last nights Top Gear underlined the lack of Jeremy effect now present - Quentin Wilson doesn't show up, Tiff gets 3 mins to rate a Proton 7/10 (like thats using his talents), Berry the Bike has dissapeared and all we get is a couple of blokes with hair gel displaying no specialist knowledge or indeed petrol-head appreciation of the cars about which they talk.

I am sure the focus groups love it but like many people and Forumla One these days - I can barely be bothered to watch.

Anyhows, I think this is off to Aircrew Notices very soon.

Cheers,
