[talking about the James Bond film "Die Another Day"]
Paul Merton: What would be the point in having an invisible car? All you're doing is chasing someone who's doing 80 miles an hour in a seated position.
Germaine Greer: No, you're invisible as well once you're in it. The car reflects the light in such a way that you cannot see it.
Paul Merton: How d'you fill it with petrol then? 'Cause you'd drive into the forecourt of a petrol station, get out, everyone jumps and says "Where's that bloke come from?" Then the poor sod's gotta find the petrol cap!
Germaine Greer: Yes, but you can turn it off.
Paul Merton: Oh, I see.
Germaine Greer: So then all of sudden, a car materialises in the forecourt.
Paul Merton: I'm actually sitting in an invisible car at the moment.
Throughout a whole series, Paul Merton managed to slip at least one reference to jet packs into each episode, believing that because they had appeared in James Bond films 30 years ago, they should be available to the public today. He went on to accuse the government of hoarding them, and the Queen Mother of having three. He also suggested that penguins be given mini jet packs to stop them falling over.
