I wouldn't disagree there, I think one of my fav episodes from that combination had this one subject where Aimi had a subject I think on dating, or about being desirable. and it went a little something like this:
AM: When he leans across the table to light your cigarette, and the cigarette lighter shakes...
BUZZ
NP: Kenneth Williams?
KW: Two cigarettes.
NP: Yes I think we must allow the cigarettes.
AM: Oh no, one was a cigarette, and one was a cigarette lighter!
NP: I know but it was too late. Im sorry, it wasnt too late, but I thought you were going to say a cigar. But no, no, you did say the word cigarette twice.
AM: Cigarette lighters hyphenated!
LAUGHTER FROM THE AUDIENCE
PJ: It is, yes.
NP: Is it?
AM: Yes!
PJ: Yes!
NP: Is it?
PJ: Yes!
NP: I didnt know that.
KW: No its not! Shut your rows!
NP: All right then, if its hyphenated, she gets...
PJ: She could say cigarette holder as well.
KW: Oh whats going on here?
NP: The audience, do you think, if you think theres a hyphen between cigarette and lighter cheer...
KW: Its no good asking them! They dont know nothing!
NP: If you dont, boo, and will you all do it together now.
KW: Look at him! Come from Stratham!
NP: Nothing?
CHEERS AND BOOS FROM THE AUDIENCE
NP: Right the audience say Aimi Macdonald has it, and she has 19 seconds on being desirable starting now.
AM: And the apparatus in his hand begins to wobble....
LAUGHTER FROM THE AUDIENCE
AM: ...then...
BUZZ
KW: Ive not come here to listen to a load of filth!
LAUGHTER FROM THE AUDIENCE
KW: Its perfectly obvious why she keeps appearing on this game! Half of them are women! Look at em! Yes! Waves of them rolling! Look at
the flesh though! Its disgusting isnt it!
NP: Whats the challenge Kenneth?
KW: Well all this deviation about him sitting opposite her with apparatus! One minute hes taking her out to dinner, the next minute theyre in a chemical laboratory!
NP: Well if youve got to think of another word for cigarette lighter, even if it is hyphenated... an apparatus is quite a good word to use, isnt it.
KW: Oh its obvious what side youre on!
NP: If apparatus means something else to you, then Im very sorry Kenneth. Fifteen seconds with you Aimi, on being desirable starting now.
AM: Then you know you must be desirable. If however the thing that hes holding... (dissolves in giggles)
LAUGHTER FROM THE AUDIENCE
BUZZ
AM: No, give it to him! Give it to him!
NP: Kenneth Williams challenged.
KW: No, I havent challenged.
NP: Clement Freud has challenged.
CF: I thought she hesitated
holding her thing!
LOUD LAUGHTER FROM THE AUDIENCE
that's one of my favorite moments from this particular combination.

That was a great combo, I agree. I'd vote for Clement, Kenneth, Peter
and Aimi - all 15 shows with them are hillarious!
