I like a lot of Peter's challenges:

Tony Hawks: I am six-feet-four inches tall already ...
BUZZ
PJ: Boasting.

Steve Frost: And the French are the finest waiters in the world ...
BUZZ
PJ: They'd have to be to get the cheese from the one place and the
soup from the Derdoynne.

Or when the topic was "My First Night":

Well, it was an altogether traumatic experience altogether. I remember
I was covered in some sort of ... sticky substance. And I didn't
recognize my mother ... After all, I was hanging upside down, and the
doctor was very elderly and kept shaking ...

He also must have had some sort of charm and sex appeal to all but
make a date with Lorraine Chase in the middle of a subject.

Anyway, he was clearly popular with everyone on the show. On the 1980
show with Aimi MacDonald where all the panelists were subjects,
Clement said, "Peter Jones is really one of the best chaps I have ever
met," and you sense he actually meant it. (His brief blurb on Peter in
"Freud Ego" shows the same enthusiasm.)

About the time of Peter's death, Wendy Richard shared a story on the
BBC about how in the green room before a taping, Nicholas and Derek
were going on about quality pocket hankies, Peter excused himself and
came back with a pocket hanky of his own. "Do you like my pocket
handkerchef?" he asked her. "Yes, it's nice. Where did you get it?"
"It's toilet paper."
