I think top gear and drwho are the top money makers for the BBC so maybe not a lot of licence money going on it?

Yes, but a shame he now spends so much time abroad, and Lahore isn't a great place to want to visit. And his other home is Zimbabwe. I need some friends to move to places like the Caribbean!

You need to befriend some of the West Indies team, or isn't that allowed in your job T&C's, ie fraternising with the enemy

That and because he's acting exactly the part he's supposed to.

There's plenty of people who had to see those scenes before they went on air and all signed off on them.

Those are the people who should really be blamed.

Yes I'm allowed to be friends with the enemy, if I ever get to the West Indies for a tour then I'm on a promise of a day at the cricket in Jamaica with an olympic gold medal winning sprinter. He's had a couple of days at Lord's on me and wants to return the favour.
