I watched Genius this morning when I got home from work and thought the entire 'Pat Harkin' section was souper! :lol: (Actually, I like the new format for the show as well - real genius :D )

Is Mr Harkin "the lecturer from Leeds" ?
Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.

The rest of us are a bit crap.

I believe he is, but I certainly do not agree with the comments. The program is meant to be entertainment - not solving the world's problems. :roll:

Yes, that's Pat. He can also been seen (if you have keen eyesight) in the Colour of Magic and Going Postal TV shows.

For those with less than keen eyesight he is interviewed as part of the extras on the Going Postal DVD :)
One of those? Oh I'm sure I have one somewhere..

There were a whole set of interviews with him in the run up to the release of Hogfather on SKY as well. :D
