Oh dear Rob, and I thought he was absolutely wonderful! I haven't read his books, just drooled over him on TV.
I do like his presentation style though; it's very simple and 'ordinary', not pompous or too posh. But serious inaccuracies are of course unacceptable.

Donuel, I'm glad you think I'm 'always a hoot'!

I remember once at the start of a new school year standing in front of a new class of eight year-olds. One little girl piped up, "My friend told me about you, Miss. She was in your class last year."
I said, "Oh indeed! And what did she say?" (expecting some comments about my brilliant teaching, firm discipline, interesting lessons or some such)
"She said you're the funniest teacher she's ever had!"
Hmmmm.....
