Re: Favorite Running Jokes during a Show

I remember that one too, it was both funny and frustrating at the same time.

another really good running gag I think had to do with Wendy Richard's particular complaint about listing. to which it seemed that Nicholas was having a bit of fun with her, even though she was deadly serious about Clement not being aloud to make lists, and each time she challenged during that episode as Clement was listing, Nicholas would never give her the subject, and then Peter challenges on the listing problem and he gives it to him, even though it was Wendy that made a fuss about Clement listing in the first place.

Ah yes I well remember the "herbacious borders' one-LOL

there was another one in which someone spoke in french and it ended
up with Paul supposed to talk about the subject using his Metal Work
lingo (sorry but I can't quite remember the other panelists-maybe
tony hawks and clement?) Miriam

LOL Miriam

episode in 2005 or 2004, I know it was before Linda Smith passed away
cuz it was an episode that she was on. It had to do with 'herbacious
borders', during the subject of 'Green Fingers' and it was something
that Clement said to the extent that his herbacious borders
could 'outwit' people, and Paul challenged on that notion, and
Nicholas left the subject with Clement, which created some incredible
banter and numerous examples of how ridiculous the whole idea was,
which includes an herbacious border buying a car without the owner's
knowledge or having an herbacious border beat you at chess.
