They are memorable, but the surviving copies do not verify that the remarks were actually aired as quoted. The list is best read as broadcast folklore: a collection of often-attributed anecdotes, not twelve authenticated transcripts.
What the list does—and does not—establish
Copies of this twelve-item list appeared online by 2007, and later reposts repeated its attributions and wording. One 2009 poster said the list had arrived by email and expressly did not know whether the stories had happened. Repetition establishes that the anecdotes circulated; it does not independently confirm a broadcast, date, programme, or verbatim line. AnandTech Forums’ 2009 repost, a 2007 Coldplaying forum copy, and an April 2007 blog reproduction are examples of that circulation.
The entries below preserve the circulating attributions and wording as examples, not verified quotations. Copies sometimes differ in punctuation or phrasing. Their evidential strength is therefore separate from their comic effect: a named person or programme in a repost is not, by itself, proof of what was said on air.
The 12 circulated anecdotes
-
Pat Glenn, described as a weightlifting commentator: “And this is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning and it was amazing!” This attribution and wording appear in the circulating list; no broadcast date or primary transcript is supplied.

-
An unnamed New Zealand rugby commentator: “Andrew Mehrtens loves it when Daryl Gibson comes inside of him.” The repost does not identify a commentator, match, or recording.
-
Ted Walsh, described as a horse-racing commentator: “This is really a lovely horse. I once rode her mother.” The list attributes the line to Walsh but gives no primary broadcast reference.
-
Harry Carpenter, associated with the 1977 Oxford–Cambridge boat race: “Ah, isn’t that nice. The wife of the Cambridge President is kissing the Cox of the Oxford crew.” This is the wording circulated in the list, not an authenticated transcript.
-
An unnamed US PGA commentator, about Arnold Palmer: The anecdote says Palmer’s wife took out his balls and kissed them before each tee shot, followed by: “Oh my god!! What have I just said??” The list does not name the commentator or provide a broadcast source.

Carenza Lewis, associated with Time Team Live and medieval food: “You’d eat beaver if you could get it.” The attribution is part of the circulating version, without a date or primary recording.
-
An unnamed female news anchor and a weatherman called Bob: “So Bob, where’s that eight inches you promised me last night?” A repost associates the story with a Denver station, but the list itself warns that it is unverified; the location and attribution should not be treated as established.
-
Steve Ryder, associated with the US Masters: “Ballesteros felt much better today after a 69 yesterday.” The circulating list supplies the attribution but no transcript or dated broadcast.
-
Clair Frisby, associated with Look North and a jumbo hot dog: One circulated version reads, “There’s nothing like a big hot sausage inside you on a cold night like this.” Some copies omit “big,” so the wording is not stable across reposts.

Mike Hallett, associated with snooker: “Stephen Hendry jumps on Steve Davis’s misses every chance he gets.” The line is attributed to Hallett in the list, with no primary recording cited.

-
Michael Buerk, associated with BBC1 eclipse coverage and Phillipa Forrester: “They seem cold out there, they’re rubbing each other and he’s only come in his shorts.” The circulated attribution is not accompanied by a broadcast transcript.
-
Ken Brown, associated with golfer Nick Faldo and caddie Fanny Sunesson: “Some weeks Nick likes to use Fanny, other weeks he prefers to do it by himself.” The list attributes the line to Brown but does not establish when or where it was said.
A documented comparison: the 1991 “leg over” incident
There is a useful distinction between an anecdote repeated online and an incident documented by a broadcaster. BBC Sport identifies the 1991 Test Match Special “leg over” moment involving Brian Johnston and Jonathan Agnew in its retrospective on BBC sports commentary. A separate BBC Sport report confirms that Tony Cozier was in the commentary box during the incident. These reports document that separate event; they do not authenticate any of the twelve entries above, and they do not provide a transcript sentence to quote as the exact remark. BBC Sport’s 2017 retrospective; BBC Sport’s 2016 report on Tony Cozier.
How to judge an “aired on TV & Radio” claim
For a broadcast double entendre to be treated as verified, look for evidence tied to the event itself rather than another copy of the same story:
- Primary evidence: audio, video, or a contemporaneous transcript that captures the line.
- Clear context: a named programme and broadcast date, ideally corroborated by a broadcaster or reliable archive.
- Stable wording: agreement among independent records about the actual sentence, not merely repeated versions of an email or forum post.
The twelve entries have attributions and recognizable contexts, but the cited online copies do not supply those primary broadcast records. They are entertaining examples of the unintentional double-entendres people have long attributed to TV and radio; whether each was truly aired as quoted remains unestablished.
