Comedian Mark Nelson had a narrow escape last night when his car caught fire while he was at the wheel.
Fortunately Nelson was on his own in the car at the time, so nobody was harmed, but he was understandably shaken up.
But as well as the damage to the car the boot was full of Christmas presents and his suit, all of which are now ruined.
A number of jokes told by comedians at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival have appeared on an edition of BBC quiz Pointless.
Scottish comedian Mark Nelson's gag that came fifth in Dave's Joke of the Fringe competition in 2015 was one of them: "Jesus fed 5,000 people with two fishes and a loaf of bread. That's not a miracle. That's tapas." When Nelson found out about this he said on Facebook: "This might be the best thing that has ever happened to me. "
