Would you like to make a bet that Clement Freud knows what and where
the Serpentine is and at least about the existence of HMS Victory?
I'm not sure what your point is. I'm not making the point that all
people know something about the subjects, of course they don't, my
point was Sue Perkins' blatant lack of general knowledge was not in
keeping with the 'Old' radio $ (or even the new really.

She is funny and witty and attarctive also as Nicholas remiunds us
constantly - its a shame she got singled out in this way which was
not my reason for posting, it was about the quality of guests, new
versus old.

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.

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.
