well, I have listened to program over the years and trust me, there are distinct instances where Nicholas has blatantly called the audience 'an ignorant lot' even after he's asked for their help in regards to cheering and booing.  There were several occasions when he has called the audience 'fickle', 'partisan', 'prejudiced', 'biased' and so on.  in fact I seem to recall one episode where when a panelist was speaking, they were being very funny, and going at speed, then someone challenges, the audience moans and boos and Nicholas yells at them and says 'My God  you are partisan, it was a correct challenge you should applaud it'.  A round or two later the same thing happens, only this time, the audience applauds, then Nicholas turns to the audience again and says 'You are the most fickle audience, you boo a correct challenge, now you're applauding!'  He's basically patronizing them for doing what HE told them to do in the first place. 
 
And the number of times I've heard Nicholas tell the audience and the panelists to 'shut up' is more than flesh and blood can stand.  like there was one occasion I think on an episode where the subject was 'Tutenkamen' or something like that, and early in the round Kenneth was talking about some Americans that asked where is the boy king, or something like that. Clement challenges on the fact that the way Kenneth was speaking was not how Americans talk, and Nicholas didn't give it against Kenneth because of some damn reason or another that he wasn't using an accent and doesn't have to use an accent.  later on Clement gets the subject and starts talking about some car number two hundred and ten, and some man in Glasgow and it pretty much goes down like this:
 
CF: My bumper car was number two hundred and 10 and at the end of the allotted minute...

NP: No, no, I will accept Tutankahmen and this Spanish lady Carmen but I will not accept two-ten er...

CF: Two-ten come in!

NP: Two-ten...

CF: In Glasgow!

KW: Two-ten come in! I see!

NP: BUt you did establish that the man had a Glaswegian, if you’d said (in Scottish accent) “Tutankahmen” but you didn’t say put on the Glaswegian accent.

CF: He kept interrupting me!

NP: if you’d done it with a Glaswegian accent, if you’d said....

DN: But he couldn’t do it with an accent! Kenneth couldn’t do it with an accent!

KW: Did you say...

NP: if you had established that the Glaswegian...

KW: It’s a bad...

NP: Shut up Kenneth Williams! If you had established that the man was speaking with a Glaswegian accent I would have given it to you. But you didn’t say that he had a Glaswegian accent, therefore I give it to Kenneth and he has one...

DN: Why didn’t Kenneth...

NP: Shut up Derek Nimmo!

DN: ... do it with an accent when he was talking about the Americans?

there was another episode where he actually blatantly said that Derek's diction was so 'blooming awful', then later on when Kenneth was talking about some subject and Kenneth was talking very depressed like Nicholas said 'Why did you have to put on such a blooming awful voice'.
 
I could go on and on all day giving examples, but these are the ones that come readily to mind.

I have to say that I don't remember any time that Nicholas has insulted the audience, or that he has told the panelists that their performance has been "bloody awful".  In my recollection, he has been nothing but ingratiating towards the audience, and has always been very complimentary towards the panelists.
