Paul Merton, The Series: Episode 1.3Channel Four
9 October 1991
Sketch Comedy
DVD
B
Among the stronger sketches are Paul giving a newbie the lowdown on Heaven (not exactly Paradise), mistaking a man for Ringo Starr and hassling him about it, giving a school award and reminiscing about how he was punished for being working class, and using a videocamera to pirate what's supposed to be a new release but looks suspiciously like something from circa 1972, yellow credits and all.
Judy Elrington and Neil McArthur would appear respectively once more and twice more this series, while Kerry Shale, Jonathan Stratt, Bill Thomas, and Flip Webster would all return for the '93 series.
