Well Mark, lock away the previous thread.

Has anyone yet mentioned Noel Edmonds being a possible candidate?
IIRC, didn't he used to do a bit of part time racing, along with his DJ work. Just a thought to do with the references to Stig liking golden oldie music, and Noel once doing a Top Gear presentation on the GT40 as Jezzer was too big to fit into one for the test drive.

I don't recall Noel Edmonds racing, but Mike Smith was quite competitive in the BTCC
p.s. - can you see Noel Edmonds doing anything anonymously ?
I have to grow old - but I don't have to grow up

I still think it's Johnny Herbert.

Thats two of us then :-)
Wasnt Johnny Herbet sacked from Lotus F1?

p.p.s.
If it was Noel Edmonds, where do you think he'd fit on Jezza's Cool board ?

Johnny Herbert get's my vote too.
Been thinking about this one myself!

It would explain the need of the helmet to hide the designer?? bumfluff.

I always back outsiders in the hope of a big win, so here's 50p on Maureen Rees.

Looks suspiciously like Damon. He has a new show on a tacky satellite channel. When wearing his racing gear, looks remakably like stig - even similar racing clothes.

I think it is Damon Hill personally, he has a good connection with the program, (Vanquish bit and the infamous SL55 test on the Motor Show Program) hes game for a laugh and the Stig has his driving slouch!
Jonathon Palmer would be too easy as he owns the Autodrome they film at, no idea who Perry McCarthy is... And i think the frog and music is a red herring if youll excuse the contradiction...
He also cant be a current Driver as they will probably have too strict a schedule to be free to film over a six week period, plus i presume this spring too! (new series)...
Nope my moneys on the fashionably unkempt Damon....
|
I thought you'd all sorted this one out, and had confirmed who it was? Can't remember the name, but I'm sure it was said that HE was the one. Am I wrong?

It was mentioned Stig IS Perry McCarthy. Stig's not lanky enough to be Damon Hill.
|
So if it's been confirmd as this Perry Macarthy, why the continued debate?

OK so some of us have only been able to watch the new "Top Gear" on UK Gold as i happen to work every Sunday night.... call me retarded if you like.....
And if the Stig IS Perry McCarthy, why does JC play him up on the show as barely anyone's heard of him.... (I apologise profusely if Mr Mc Carthy is a member of this Bulletin Board)

Er, UK Horizons, I think ;o)

Not at all. Some might, but they would soon feel the wrath of the moderator and his edit button.

All part of the television circus I'm afraid. Who was Mr Blobby? Who were the people in the TellyTubby costumes? Who was Bungle in Rainbow?
|
The stig backwards is The "GITS", make any sence?
|
I reckon it's Thora Hird. She's pretty feisty.
:-)
Oz (as was)

>>Who was Mr Blobby ?
Andrew Barclay
>>Who were the people in the TellyTubby costumes ?
Dipsy = John Simmit
Tinky Winky = Dave Thompson, Mark Heenehan, Simon Shelton
La-La = Nikky Smedley
Po = Pui Fan Lee
>>Who was Bungle in Rainbow ?
Stanley Bates
Anything else ????
M.
p.s. How sad am I ?

It could still be Vanessa Feltz !

You need to get out a bit more. It's Damon by the way.

Yes! What's Geoffrey from Rainbow doing these days? Last saw him in a Channel 5 ad for something, and was deighted to see him alive an well and still living on the heights of his previous fame. p.s. How sad am I ?
M, you need another holiday ;)

Driving a taxi (motoring link) I believe.
Last saw him in a Channel 5 ad for something,
That might have been the ad for Virgin-money, whilst stood in front of his taxi. Something to do with going to them for a loan to start up his own business.

Anything else ????
Can you name the "Tweenies" actors (if you can call them that)?
p.s. How sad am I ?
No Comment! :-)
