Does anyone know if there will be any programmes to celebrate Paul having appeared on Just A Minute for 25 years this coming April (his first appearance being Episode 2 of Series 22 on 4th April 1989 (taken from Dean's site))?

He's probably the one who helped keep it going after Kenneth died and brought it up to date, giving it a fresh impetus and opening it up for guests like Julian, Tony and many others.Hopefully something will be done and the Beeb won't let it slide.Anyone got any favourite moments?Probably the most obvious recently were the two episodes (i forget which ones they were) with the panel up higher than the audience and Paul pleading to get down in the first.--MarkJAM Jar - http://jamjar.nylon.net - see the JAM forum for login credentialsJAM forum - http://b9fx.com
As a Paul fan there are so many but the ones that I can remember off the top of my head are
1. Paul berating Derek over his treatment of his dog in the round of "My Pet"
2. Paul complaining several times about the Raining beating down on the Tent in the shows from Fowey Cornwall.
3. Paul and Julian "fighting' over some guy- can't remember which show or the subject but it was a running joke
4.Paul on telepathy - again the show escapes me
5. Paul being a bit rude to Wendy about her going on about her pet bird Henry in one of the shows from Bury St. Edmunds-- and he keep getting tony slattery to break up
About 19 years ago Paul told us how 19 years ago he went to the planet Venus and anyone who says this isn't true can go outside and he'll give them a damn good fight because it's true. He was stuck on the surface of that particular planet for years.
I had that one on a tape for a long time. I think it wore out in the end. I used to be able to just recite it. Would love to hear that one again. Peter Jones also referenced it in a later show in defense of an anti-surrealism challenge. :)

On the matter of Paul and Wendy I always wondered why they weren't on the same show that often. When i listened to those shows it seemed to me that Paul would generally take the mick out of her a little harder than others.And going off topic there is the brilliant moment at the beginning of one episode where Wendy questioned Nicholas over why she was announced last when he introduced the panel. Always a highlight when Wendy got riled (Clement's lists being the most well remembered reason why)..

I nearly forgot Paul reaction to Clements's Hibiscus Border that could Outwit things! Classic Merton
Sorry for the double post.
…..Someone who came into Just A Minute much later was Paul Merton. Everyone respects Paul for the flair and skill he shows but Wendy Richard did not like him and this caused problems. When Wendy first started, she was always great value. I met her in the early Sixties when she appeared in sketches in The Arthur Haynes Show. She had a real sense of fun.
I could tell she was going to achieve great things and I was delighted by her success in Are You Being Served? which ran for 13 years.
Sadly, I think Wendy changed when she joined EastEnders as Pauline Fowler, a fairly aggressive character. I felt she in some way morphed into Pauline. She always seemed to get narky with people.
In one show her feelings towards Paul Merton boiled over. He challenged her and Wendy snapped: “You’re having a go at me again! You’re always like that. What have I done to you?”
Wendy was not joking. This was said in deadly earnest. I did my best to cover but I felt embarrassed. Paul, who is very tolerant, could not understand her behaviour.
It reached the point that if Wendy was booked for the show Paul did not want to be cast. In the end, the producer decided to stop casting her.
I have no idea why she disliked Paul. He often makes jokes at my expense but I enjoy the banter as much as he does…………..
