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 DVDThat 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
