Private Eye ran stories on Maxwell in the last few years of his life to which Maxwell issued and won multiple libel cases. Maxwell also created a parody magazine. Hislop's admitted to genuinely hating him.
@Karen DeGenerous Hmm, funniness is in the mind of the beholder. I don't t find him funny at all. Yes, he has a fast wit, but I don't like the personality or the shtick behind the wit. There's a smartypants smugness, a strong sense of ego that puts me off him as a humourist.
To be fair, it does seem Merton gets annoyed if someone is getting more laughs than him and will try to become the centre of attention. He definitely can be funny, but his ego does tend to get in the way on occassions.
Thanks for sharing these. It's interesting to watch them all again.
Thanks so much for posting.
Thanks for your hard work
oh here we go, a little something from the 20th! century...
many thank yous Life Size The Best

I wonder if my stalker will make a comment about me indicating there's a usual 4 - 4 initial score which seems to be the norm on this show.

Do we know why the BBC didn’t edit out Deayton’s plug?
Which one?
It was clearly in the script - "Diana's getting a new wardrobe" was the set-up - and suspect he wasn't really doing the MFI voice-over at the time.
They are all about money love, didn't you know they sell anything 😩
Paul is soooo interuptive, self-obsessive, limelighting, tedious, not to mention unfunny. I just don't get why the audience clap him so much.
Because he's none of those things.
Just hit the dislike button, and move on with your life.
The audience clap him so much because they understand humour.
