Well Paul seems to have taken up the banner of some of Kenneth's old catchphrases. He's now taken the habit of calling Nicholas an 'excellent chairman' the way Kenneth used to when things went his way, and often says 'Best chairman we got' twice in a row, which very often prompts Nicholas to say something ridiculous like 'its the only chairman you've got'.

Even in the last series Paul even went so far as to say 'I haven't come all the way from Great Portland Street to listen to this.'

which perhaps goes to show it's not just a matter of reusing old jokes -
as Kenneth was surely a unique performer and really there's no-one else
on the show who could have used these "routines".

Indeed what's interesting about JAM in many ways is hearing the mind at
work... Kenneth had a very interesting mind.
