Great scenes

This scene, featuring Paul Merton and Anne Robinson is from Series 6, Episode 9.

Stephen Fry and Room 101

When Stephen Fry nominated Room 101 itself to go into Room 101 (because he wanted programmes about nice things), Paul Merton had to decide whether to keep the show out or commit professional suicide.

This scene, featuring Stephen Fry and Paul Merton is from Series 6, Episode 9.

Ron Atkinson and Renato Pagliari

When Kirsty Young tried to get rid of people with very loud and very quiet voices, Paul said he could not, by demonstrating the joys of Brian Blessed commenting on the snooker.
