Funny fellow and seems quite a nice bloke as well. Paul Merton, for my generation, is a comedy genius, IMVHO.

I didn't say he was my favourite I just find him funny.
Humour, like art, is very subjective - I can see that you've been offended and I'm deeply sorry.

I actually think that comedy is a bit like music; it depends on the time, the mood etc..
Also depends whether we are on about stand-up or sketches.
When I was younger I used to love Mike Harding's stuff. A bit older and Ben Elton was a good reason to get home early from the boozer on a Friday / Saturday night.
Too many of the modern comedians try a little bit too hard and love the whole celeb stuff.

No need for apologies on this board mon Unless anyone wants to say sorry for liking mittys project, Nancy koren or non defending robbo. I'll always accept those apologies
