No. I find it hard to believe Harry Hill has ever eaten a baguette on the move. Chips, yes.

Aren't there other questions you can ask other than guessing names?

Already ruled out on at least two counts, in that he has (a) appeared on Mock the Week and (b) lives in Leamington Spa.

It's got to be Tim Vine. Walking through stations at midnight eating baguettes is exactly the sort of thing he's known for.

No. I associate him more with doing Karaoke in Epsom pubs.

A difficult question, but I'll say "Yes".

I think you might need to tell us Martin. We seem to have lost interest or run out of inspiration.

I'll give you a free clue instead.

He has a beard.

If that doesn't cause a sudden spark in interest, I don't know what will.

Which one? There are at least 54.

Well, I suppose I have at least heard of him but I've never actually seen him. If he'd walked past me eating a baguette at Waterloo station, I'd have been none the wiser.

What sort of baguette? Spicy chicken?

Excellent comment!

My kids and I love Dave Gorman - he manages to be a geek and a comedian. We follow his stuff on the telly, and occasionally radio 4 stuff too.

We went to see him live on his bicycle tour a couple of years ago, where he cycled between each gig. Eldest son couldn't make it due to illness, and even though Dave was understandably knackered, he signed a longish personal message to him in the book signing after the gig. Top quality bloke.
