Not So Super
Ryan Giggs, Hugh Bonneville, Gordon Ramsay, Jeremy Clarkson, David Threlfall, Pauline McLynn, David Schneider (scarcely a famous person at all): with the possible exception of any influence that Clarkson might exercise through his newspaper columns and the spin-off books, what has any of these people to do with anything that is really important?
