Rank: Super forum user		Stephen Fry asks unanswerable questions about health and safety, with Ross Noble, David Mitchell, Jeremy Clarkson and Alan Davies. I suggest you watch it with an open mind and enjoy the humour, no complaints please.

Rank: Super forum user		Watched it for about 20 minutes, I could not suffer any more. Nothing to do with elf and safety really, just an excuse to dress up in bright new PPE. If that is entertainment...God help us!

Rank: Super forum user		I watched it tonight, first 20 minutes then fell asleep. Not too bad really but as Ray says not really health and safety. Interesting about the smoke up the ...........

Oh I don't know Ray; I certainly learnt something new about the use of bellows to blow smoke up a patients bottom to cure hiccoughs (and that that is possibly the wrong way to spell it). And they did debunk the conkers/eye protection story (although with a variation I had not heard before).

Rank: Guest		Whoops! Yes you're right. My 'learning' was clearly flawed. I put it down to the aging process.
