# Tony Slattery was fairly amusing at times.
Although I think that may well have been because he was actually clinically insane.

Colin Montgomery and Ryan Miles made that show though.

# Was Paul Merton ever in it?
I did like Tony Slattery though - but for other reasons :)

# He was occasionally in the earlier ones.
He wasn't very funny though, he just intentionally refused to get jokes or go along with the stuff generally in a way which was meant to be funny but wasn't.

# I wish they would release Paul Merton's series on DVD
That was one of the only shows (including Alexei Sayle's 'Stuff') that would send me into fits of breathless, choking, tears-in-eyes laughter

# I don't get that kind of laughter often, more the fact I don't laugh much when I find something funny than the actual quality of material.
But generally there are a few scattered comments or lines in the really good shows which will make me burst out laughing.

Plus the first time I saw Stewart Lee's Scotch routine I nearly pissed myself from the sheer bravery of it. Glasweigens rarely laugh at being called gay paedophiles.

# Same here - I don't laugh out loud that often,
but it's fantastic when something creeps up on me and makes me unexpectedly guffaw :)

Kathy Burke's facial expressions can do that :D
