Stephen Fry:
There was a strange man called Charles Isham who was a vegetarian spiritualist who believed that putting ornamental garden gnomes into a garden would attract real gnomes.
David Mitchell:
Did he wish to try and kill real gnomes? Or did he want to track real gnomes?
Stephen Fry:
No, he wanted to commune with them. He wanted to commune with them. He said, "seeing and hearing gnomes is not mental delusion, but extension of faculty".
Alan Davies:
It's a nice try. It's lovely being clever when you're mental.
