David Mitchell

It could have been, not the orange that made it catch on, but the front of a robin. We could all have front-of-a-robin brand mobile phones. Where you go "What colour is it?" "Oh, it's front-of-a-robin".

Stephen Fry

David Mitchell

"I'm just eating an orange. It's such a bright shade of front-of-a-robin".
