Comedy Connections - Series 6

Are you sure you don't mean 'nice to be educated'?

I thought it seemed like he was a genuinely nice bloke, as Paul Whitehouse said at the end 'not like the other arseholes... like me' (or something to that effect). Obviously I didn't like everything he did (Catherine Tate being a shining example) but a lot of classics were there (Father Ted, The Fast Show, etc). It made me think that the comedy landscape might be quite different in future and all the worse for his absence...

I don't think there was an malice in Paul and Harry's comments. This was actually recorded very close to his death. They were still coming to terms with the loss of someone they had bantered with on a daily basis so that was still there.

Plus you could see Paul's eyes were watery. At the end of the day these guys are comedians and its hard to stay serious without feeling the need to lighten it up. That's all they did.

I enjoyed the show and was unaware at how much he had been involved with. Great respect.

I never intimated that there was any malice whatsoever from Harry and Paul, just that they were trying to irreverently praise a dear friend in a manner in which they thought he would have deemed appropriate . . .

You didn't, but EMS pretty much did.
