A hard one to watch, but worth it. This was the missing piece of the puzzle for me, so thank, BH!

this show was about 10 hours long - for Angus

[@BumMcFluff]

Merton really needs to work on his poker face. When he's pissed off, everyone knows it.

[@mulrich]

People seem to forget that this was supposed to be the episode where they skewered Angus over the things Angus routinely needled guests about. He'd been asked if there were any other scandalous things waiting in the wings, and he said no. Then October came and he was embroiled in another scandal, undermining whatever credibility he had left as host of this show. Ian and Paul were only doing what they did to everyone else on a weekly basis. Why should it be different for Angus?

RIP Jerry Springer. Angus took it well.

I' ve watched this episode a few times now. It's now embarrassingly obvious that Paul Merton is a sanctimonious git. Married now many times? While not excusing Angus' behaviour, Paul wandered into cruel territory. Paul's insecurities seem to provoke a nastiness.

Pass the nail scissors please…

Hilarious

[@jessovenden]

Lovely. Well done Paul and Ian. Great T-shirt. Bye bye Deayton, don’t let the door hit your arse on your way out.

[@rebefarfort1244]

I think they gave him a chance by making us laugh about it.

[@georgegraham6069]

Merton and Hislop. Two Big Cs

[@rebefarfort1244]

My feeling is they did no more to him than the three had done to other guests and Ken seemed to handle it well too. It was Gorman who lacked subtlety who ruined it for me.

@@ascotalexanderbruce You're going to wait till your deathbed or theirs. "Naturally mean-spirited"? Have you seen them when not here? Well, maybe you have, and your skewed vision -- probably one of those people who thinks when Angus was fired it's all downhill -- has to make up negative personality traits. Poor you.

[@BumMcFluff]

Gorman looked like a petulant child.@@rebefarfort1244

[@vogie1000]

Merton is so far up his own backside, get rid of Merton and bring back Angus.
