Humour may, as the cliché has it, be the most subjective thing in the world, and one man's Sergeant Bilko may indeed be another's On The Buses. Mr Clarke must, however, be excused from the cliché, since he does not deal in humour at all. He deals in a branch of comedy known to Radio Times as "gentle", and in this context "gentle" is the standard euphemism for "not".
