Great Britons2002
[Jeremy Clarkson is standing on top of one of the towers of the Clifton Suspension Bridge, looking out over the city of Bristol and the Avon Gorge]
Jeremy Clarkson:
I'm slightly amazed that someone like Princess Diana is being discussed in this series. I'm sure she was a very lovely lady, but she's not really in the same class as Brunel. And John Lennon "I am the Egg-Man. I am the Walrus" - quite! And then there's William Shakespeare, a man who's brought *stupefying* boredom to the classroom for four hundred years. Let me put it this way. In "A Midsummer Night's Dream", Puck says he will put a girdle around the earth. Shakespeare wrote about it, but Brunel, with his bridges and his ships and his trains, he actually *did* it. Greatest Briton ever? I'm absolutely *sure* about it.
