[edit] Suspected original research

I suspect that this comment is rather too like original research to feature, and also I'm not sure it's correct:

Tony is believed to be the inspiration for an Alan Partridge sketch, shown on satirical comedy The Day Today, in which Steve Coogan's sports reporter character interviews a female rally driver in a patronising manner.

The scene in The Day Today [1] is more a spoof of a typical newsreader/sports presenter interviewing a rally driver - Alan is frightened by the ride, whereas Tony Mason was an experienced co-driver. Bob talk 00:31, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
