[Harry Enfield in his "Clarkson Island" comedy sketch]

EAEnfield [as Clarkson]

[mimicking Jeremy's habit of pausing] Hello, I'm, on an Island, and not just, any Island, Because this Island, is Clarkson island, and Unlike any other island, Clarkson island, has the greatest number of Clarksons... In the world!

PWPaul Whitehouse [as Clarkson]

In fact Clarkson Island, standing, 248 Clarksons, per square mile.

Come on now, Clarksy. [shaves the head of a "Clarkson"] We actually clip them towards the year, otherwise their woolly hair gets clogged up and all the shit comes out of their mouths, see.

My son watches that every hour, every time he sees it he goes "Dad, you're on television again, well it's not really you; it's some blokes with shit coming out of their mouths!"

[James' first time introducing The Stig]

Some say, he has a stripy top, just like mine...

Oh, give it a rest!

You really weren't fooling anyone.

[during the Basel to Blackpool race]

JJeremy (voiceover)

And then: disaster!

Here I come!

[Hammond's Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion slowly overtakes Jeremy's Jaguar, shortly before Jeremy calls Richard's phone]

It's funny you should call. I've just seen someone who looks just like you; in a Jaguar doing about fifty-six miles an hour!

I am not going to race you.

Really?

Nope. I am going to sit behind you and watch you fail!
