Actually there have been shows that have occurred during Kenneth's time with the show when if he was really pissed off, he'd sulk and go very quiet for most of the show. The prime example of it being that one episode where Clement, Derek and Patrick Moore were on the panel, and Kenneth was given the subject of MacReady, and gets buzzed for deviation after about 5 seconds because of devious grammar, referring to MacReady as one of the great Actor/Managers of England rather than the great English Actor/Manager. And for most of the show he was very quiet and didn't say anything cuz he was pissed off.

Yes, I wondered about that at the time. I know that recording sessions
for Clue ran for a lot longer than broadcast, and rounds were tried
and discarded to be re-recorded at a later session. But I believe JAM
doesn't have that luxury, so an obvious mistake had to be left in.

Does anyone know if a recording has ever been such a failure that the
whole show had to be scrapped ? I seem to remember hearing of one
episode when Kenneth Williams got in a temper and refused to
contribute for most of the show, but it went out more or less as
recorded, I believe.

Regards
Phil
