Thanks for doing these! My videotapes aren't what they used to be.

Thanks for posting!

Forgotten all about Swamnpy the eco warrior from episode 1, he spent a week living in a tunnel to stop a road being built. The A303 I think, very good road

[@Padraigp]

Ia that when we realised there was no hope for any of it if we couldnt even stop a road cutting down an ancient forest. That was probably when everyone gave up and succumbed to all this collapse and inequality totally.

Think it was the m3

And now we have no biodiversity and unstoppable climate change.

[@thenodfather]

The Hamiltons were oblivious to how vile they were.

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

Incredibly so.

[@lfcizdabest]

The first episode was the week Merton separated from his then wife Caroline Quentin. It was briefly alluded to on the show.

[@Padraigp]

Ah I see...thanks for adding that I had never heard reference to it before it was a bit awkward.

Labour dancing at festival hall 😂😂😂😂 John Prescott doesn't look amused but still has to bop for impression 😂😂😂😂

The guy on Ian's team on the last episode of the series is father of Tom Holland (the guy that plays spider man) Also, I'm probably the rare person that thinks that Ian is funner then Paul

[@zaygezunt]

You are not alone!

[@RIXRADvidz]

Paul Merton : well know comic Ian Hislop : surprise wit and timing. being a periodical editor would seem to be a dullard's passion. but not so in Ian's case. He's genuinely funny.

[@susannamarker2582]

You're absolutely right. Ian is funnier than Paul.

[@decodolly1535]

Late to the party but I've always thought Ian is funnier than Paul. Also, I once bumped into Ian Hislop in M&S on the King's Road - he seemed like to be very nice chap.

[@Padraigp]

Ive seen them on their own and mertons quite different and so is Ian. I think they go together well...sometimes Paul just sit there and doesnt say anything at all ..there was one whole series where he barely said a word had a look too. Theyre just so different its like saying the cream is better than the jam on a scone..

[@slatibaadfast]

Done

[@davidhill4421]

Who’s the drippy looking guy in t he first episode?

[@p1nkelephants]

That's Swampy. He was an eco warrior who was famous for about 3 months. Apparently he only went on the show so he could sit next to Paul.

[@theenchiladakid1866]

I bet Swamnpy works at a bank now

[@hellsbunniestv584]

Last I heard he was living in a yurt, Wales, that was only a few years back.

[@TheKillingJoker1980]

Do u live in a cartoon world or something??

[@susannamarker2582]

Paxman shock-jock was such a boring interviewer, or the word interrogator would be more fitting. Just like a Kirk Session.

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

Hello Tory boomer. Some of us are delighted by journalists who pin lying grifting (multiple tautology) Tories to the wall.

[@RIXRADvidz]

The Hamiltons. Christine came back, Neil, nsm. And didn't she take it like a champ when she did return, even needling Angus. they're the kind of guests you have when you need some character to liven things up...(eye roll)

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

Nah,they are devoid of character

[@susannamarker2582]

Does anybody listen to Will Self ?

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

You might want to note how many books he’s sold and literary prizes he’s won.

[@lmm2103]

I do

[@DeadlyPants123]

I don’t. I find him incredibly unfunny

[@TheKillingJoker1980]

Will Self does

[@susannamarker2582]

@@lizziebkennedy7505 Not necessary. He says he's a communist, but sends his children to private schools. The word 'hypocrite' springs to mind.

[@mreckes9967]

That Paul Merton sure was funnier back then.

[@susannamarker2582]

They should lock him and Lee Mack in the same cell.

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

Says you. Hundreds of thousands of viewers say otherwise.

Don't you read the papers ?

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

@@susannamarker2582yes. Relevance?

[@wellmounted]

The woman in the last episode talking about her sperm distribution plan. Of course no mention of the woman being able to raise a child, only that a man must be capable of paying for it.

What bollocks! If that were true, we would have govt agencies in every country chasing all the deadbeat dads. He could have worn a rubber! Weak as.
