Paul has also been missing from the sunday night Improv shows at the London Comedy club lately- he must be on holiday or doing a project.

Have I got News tv series starts taping the 13th of this month as well as JAM recordings later this month.

So I don't know. But my guess is that Paul was supposed to be at that recording but pulled out for some reason, perhaps he was ill or something. It just seems too weak a team to have been planned that way.

Other possibilities are Stephen Fry and Ross Noble though neither probably play the game often enough to get really really good at it.
