Jeremy:
I bring all this up, OK, because when did it happen that somebody decided that driving was so unbelievably hard, you can't do it while doing something else? You know like listening to Ken Bruce's pop master, or talking on the phone. Honestly, I can't think of anything that I couldn't do while driving... apart from reading a broadsheet newspaper. I wouldn't be able to do that.

Richard:
Sawing a piece of wood.

Jeremy:
I could do that.

Richard:
You can't, you'd need to hold your wood - [making sawing movement]

Jeremy:
No, no, you put it between your legs. You can still operate the pedals. You could saw.

Richard:
Um, sewing on a button. You need both hands to really do this fiddly -

Jeremy:
I could do that.

Richard:
You could not!

Jeremy:
I could!

Richard:
You know you can't sew on a button with a hammer?

Jeremy:
I know how to sew. Actually, while we're on the subject, did you see that case recently... a woman who was stopped by the police after they caught her driving down a motorway while... causing herself to have pleasure. [laughter]

James:
I bet you can't drive in a sleeping bag. [laughter] Actually, I'm not sure. Actually, I'm going to take that back. I think you could drive in a sleeping bag if you, if you...

Richard:
You couldn't drive in a sleeping bag.

James:
I bet you - I bet I could.

Richard:
You can't!

James:
I bet I could drive in a sleeping bag.

Jeremy:
Right, there you go. Right, you're on! Some time this week, before next week's show, I'll take you on round the track. You drive in a proper cocoon sleeping bag with your arms in it...

James:
Yeah...

Jeremy:
And race me, and I'll sew a button on my shirt.

Richard:
Oh let me guess... I've got to drive whilst performing an act on myself.

[laughter and applause]

Jeremy:
No.

Richard:
It'd be a short race!

Jeremy:
We'll leave you out of it.

Richard:
Can we make it a 50 yard sprint - [breaks down to laugh]
