TV presenter Richard Osman has responded to Brighton buses’ offer to discuss honouring him on one of their buses by suggesting his grandfather would be a better choice.

The Pointless quiz creator jokingly told the bus company he would like a bus named after him during an episode of Pointless Celebrities while introducing a round about other people whose names have appeared on the front of buses.
Brighton and Hove Bus Company replied yesterday, officially inviting him to come in and talk to them.
But this morning, he instead said his grandad, who was “born and bred” in Brighton, would be a more worthy choice.
He said: “I think my wonderful Grandad would be more deserving of the honour. Born and bred Brightonian, St. Dunstans, Sussex Police. Let’s talk!”

Haha he responded fab. Big links to Brighton he mentions us alot
Do you not have to be dead to be on one these days? Unless he knows something and is getting things lined up ready I’d suggest that is a bit of a nonstarter as far as he’s concerned. His grandad might have a chance though…
