True. The way Paul and Kenneth would rant on things were very different in their approach, Kenneth tended to scream at the top of his lungs for people to 'shut their row' and 'not to argue with the chairman' especially if something was going his way, and the way Kenneth used to pull Nicholas down tended to be more pulling him up right on the spot for Nicholas' mannerisms or over the fact that Nicholas seemed to be in collusion with the females, and that he intends to take them out after the show, and all sorts of things.

Paul tended to attack Nicholas for the outright absurdity of his justifications in either taking subjects away from him or someone else or for leaving it with someone who has no right to keep the subject at all. One prime example that immediately comes to mind is the 'herbacious border' incident.

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.'

Comments on the chairing of the show have been a common in-joke for 
about 35 years, and not just from Paul and Kenneth.
On that one use of a Kenneth phrase, I just don't see Paul's use of the

phrase as being similar to Kenneth's tantrums. They're both very very 
funny, but stylistically miles apart.
