    (Stephen Fry) "Wagner can be terribly difficult. Let me take you through The Ring."

    "The grand master of (charades) was of course Lionel Blair. He recently performed a demonstration game at an inter-faith conference.

  3. "...watched him mime the names of some of the lessor known presenters of Thought for the Day before Lionel blew the Bishop of Bath and Wells and the Chief Rabbi."

    Lionel Blue = Jewish contributor to "Thought for the Day"
