One of the things I would most love to do in life is be on an episode of Just a Minute when Paul makes a "ham sandwich" remark, and challenge him for repetition.

On Just a Minute, he developed a whole slew of catch phrases or at least things that he would bring up numerous times over the years. These included saying things like 'We should never have women on this show', 'I've come all the way from King's Cross/Great Portland Street', 'I'm a cult figure, I'm one of the biggest cults out there' or talking about Maudie Fiddleworth 'Fun with a Frankfurter', or talking about his 'spun gold hair' and that people would like to 'run through it barefoot'.
