Paul,

Zoological Gardens isn't funny in itself. Please stop. You are a very
amusing man and extremely quick-witted, but you do have to stop
trotting out the same material when inspiration fails you. Like when
you tell Nicholas that it's you who writes him letters. Having said all
this, it's quite possible I'm being unremittingly humourless and
missing the point. Paul knows better than anybody in the business the
rules of comedy and realises that repetition can be funny. Look at
catchphrases... ok, maybe a bad example. And of course, repetition
plays a big part in JAM. So it's all probably deliberate. And I've been
played for a chump.
