AIR there were a couple of presenters before Whispering Bob; the first, I think, was Richard Williams. I remember on one occasion he was interviewing Captain Beefheart, a slightly (to say the least) eccentric musician, and it was quite obvious Richard simply couldn't understand the responses to his questions (the Captain could be a little - er - lateral minded...). So, after every reply, he had to change the subject rather than admit he didn't have the least idea what had just been said to him...
