As we move inexorably towards the general election, there are bound to be some TG references somewhere along the line, and I think I've found the first in the Mail today.
Craig Brown has written a mildly amusing list of suitable candidates, dependent on the name of the seat involved, e.g.
BARKING
Katona, K.
Mills McCartney, Lady H.
Minnelli, L.
Spears, B.
CHATHAM
Carr, A.
Madeley, R.
Norton, G.
O'Grady, P.
EFFINGHAM
Boyle, F.
Ferguson, Sir A.
Ramsay, G.
Ross, J.
and also...
TOOTING
Clarkson, J.
Hammond, R.
May, J.
Noddy, L.

OK, I knew we would be on a roll with this one. Tonight's 'Russell Howard's Good News' on BBC3:
He asks the audience, "Who would you want to be Prime Minister?" Some people shout 'Jeremy Clarkson'. He replies, 'It's always Jeremy Clarkson, but I'm not sure it would be a good idea. Imagine him in parliament...' He then shows a clip of Clarkson saying 'The whole of the Labour cabinet is gay'.
Howard: 'What if David Blunkett pranged his car?' Clip of Clarkson saying 'If you don't mend that, I'm gonna bone your dog'.
Finally from Howard 'And what if he has to go to Washington?' Clip of Clarkson on TG set saying to audience member 'Are you American? You can't be, you're nowhere near fat enough'
OK, OK, this might not seem funny in print but believe me the audience enjoyed it. Try to find a download of the programme, it was excellent. And there'll be more...

Number 3 - "The Now Show" tonight on Radio 4 compared the way the 3 main party leaders are travelling around the country (one in a bus, one in a plane etc) to one of the Top Gear races. Cue a very bad impression of Clarkson making the same point.
That's 3 in 24 hours. Am I the only one spotting these? Or just the only one sad enough to post them on here?
