I again restate that even people in the past have often appeared on the show whether they knew anything about a subject or not, and more often than not that individual is allowed to keep going even if they don't know anything about a certain subject. The whole idea is that you are asked to talk about something whether you know anything about it or not, many times someone has been challenged on deviation for the very point you're making, and its never been upheld. 

 

I mean if you're going to single out Sue for something like this, then there have been several occasions when Clement Freud has padded out his talk on a subject, never actually talking about the actual subject, but spinning off lists and lists of things that have nothing to do whatsoever with the subject, just place names and so on, but there have also been subjects where he has spoken quite well on things he actually knew.  The same can be applied to anyone, including Sue Perkins.

I will take the opportunity to point out further that in
the New Vs Old debate, I can't imagine someone appearing so many
times in the Old as Sue has done in the New having displayed
such ignorance. The fact that no one ever did (examples anyone?)
I think speaks volumes alone.

I know a couple of people have suggested she's doing it for laughs
but If so she's about as funny as Robert not understanding my point.
In fact about as insulting to some of the people of Portsmouth
I would say. Typical Londoner really, come to think of it.
