s04-01 16 Oct 1992 John Sessions Griff Rhys Jones

Angus has a Brown suit on, but not THE brown suit.

Paul’s shirt: A white t-shirt that has a somewhat subtle way of warning people that his skit show started at 11.

It’s ironic that both John and Griff appeared on the same episode because they’ve both appeared together twice on WLIIA, one including the infamous scene where Griff eats John’s socks.

John: They just want to buck the miners.

Griff: The harlot of Brooklyn who has turned up here to show us all a couple of tits.

Is Griff drunk or on cold meds? Judging by his coughing and sniffing, it might be a cold.

John spills his water, causing some randomness and sillyness, mostly from an embarrassed Mr. Sessions. Griff, being a kind heart, passes over some tissues to him.

Ian: If I was Paul, I’d get a point for that.

Griff, for some odd reason, decides to blow his nose at a random moment. Ian responds with “Oh look! It’s Sniff Rhys Jones!”

Angus: (on stupid acronyms) BBC stands for Bunch of Bullshitting Crooks.

Griff: I think it’s probably- (his pen flies from his hand under the desk) oops, I dropped me pen. (He bends over and starts hunting for his pen under the desk.) Damnit.

Paul: (points down at the table) There’s an old man down here!

Man, what's in that water??? XD Griff in particular just seems to get more and more inebriated as the show goes on LOL

s04-02 23 Oct 1992 David Baddiel Charles Kennedy

Paul’s shirt: black t-shirt with a framed picture of Stonehenge.

Angus: The Royal family is about as British as Bratwurst.

Paul: FM could stand for Faulty Monkeys.

David: I think Ian’s on drugs, Angus.

Angus: He has to be.

Paul: (on Carpet mites) They might be allergic to crap questions.

Paul: By the look of Prince Edward, it's not his toe being sucked.

s04-03 30 Oct 1992 Danny Baker Annabel Giles

Hey, Angus almost has a Nabeshin-esq outfit.

Paul’s shirt: bluish-green/almost moss green sweatshirt

Paul: Is this “Cleveland: The Musical”?

Angus: You’ll have to explain who Sinead is to Ian.

Danny: A cow who can’t sing a note.

Paul, who had won the previous episode and is being a bit pissy about it, is given his Odd ones Out

In black and white photos, the group is (according to Angus, an easy group with a tricky answer): Mr Keith Oates of Chester; Mrs Sharwa Sadiki of East Yule; Mr Robert Black of Glasgow; Mr Gwyn Jones of Aberystwyth

Paul's expression: a look that almost screams "............................I am going to kill you after the show, you bastard."

Ian: (after Paul’s group is given) That’s awfully unfair! (laughs)

Paul: If you take all the letters out of their names, does it form the anagram “My name is Angus Deayton and I’m crap”?

Angus: (checks) No.

Paul: How- how am I- What- Who- What- Who are these- Why- Why am I getting these impossible questions?

Angus: Because it’s just such fun to see your reaction to it.

Ian: No, it’s just because you’re such a good sport, Paul.

s04-04 6 Nov 1992 Frank Skinner Jerry Hayes

Angus has a sore throat. He says it’s from French kissing Bill Clinton.

Paul’s Shirt: multi-coloured stripped jumper

Ian feels sorry for Angus having the sore throat, then remarks that it had to be because of all of voice-over work he did.

Jerry: (shot of Bill Clinton) That’s the man you kissed.

Paul: (to Angus) Are you talking at the moment?

It’s so weird hearing Angus with a sore throat.

Props to Ian for referencing Bohemian Rhapsody during the Galileo talk.

Paul: What do you do with a “fandango”?

Ian announces that it had been exactly a year since Maxwell died.

“Fergie fights to keep *what*” Paul: Well it’s not dignity.

s04-05 13 Nov 1992 Rory Bremner Ken Livingstone

Angus: And with Patrick McGoohan - Paul Merton tonight… (laughter)

Paul: …What do you want?!

Paul’s Outfit: dark brown-black jacket with white trim over black shirt. According to Paul on the “Very Best of” commentary, it was a facsimile of the jacket worn in “The Prisoner” and Paul got it from his pal, Neil Mullarkey. He then notes that the jacket wasn’t a good fit.

Ian: Very European, lying in French.

Paul: (on the soaked Nike’s) Robert Maxwell could advertise them. (To Angus) Or you could do the voice over.

“Keep your nose out of Ulster” - this was on the “Very Best of” special.

Angus: And so we playfully pull down the pants of history…

Paul: Bonio is the lead singer of U2.

s04-06 20 Nov 1992 Sandi Toksvig Nick Hancock

Paul’s Shirt: forest green sweater plus a badge with “I am 2” on it.

The first several minutes is missing in my copy, so no intro, in the news, and part of the Film Round (Ian and Sandi’s first clip and part of Paul and Nick’s first clip).

Paul: What’s his name again?

Nick: Mr. Braithway.

Paul: Mr. Braithway, you ought to be ashamed of yourself!

Angus: David and Nick - David?! Sorry!

Paul: I don’t mind being called David, I’ll tell you that.

Hey, an autocue joke!

Ian mentions that he was finned for contempt in court.

s04-07 27 Nov 1992 Chris Tarrant Meera Syal

Paul’s shirt: Black sweatshirt

Angus: And so let’s gently part our legs as we prepare to leapfrog into round one.

Paul: He’s been doing what? “Smacking it up the nose”?

Ian: It’s a sort of “Young person’s phrase”, Paul, you wouldn’t understand it.

Meera: Oh yeah, this is the man who super glued his bum. No, it's an easy mistake to make; I've done it myself many times. In fact sometimes it's the only effective way to say 'no', if you know what I mean. In fact, this is the second case of 'annus horribilus' this week!

Paul: He sat on the Labrador and the Labrador got stuck and on the way to the hospital the Labrador bit this old man on the leg and wouldn't let go and so the three of them walked around like that for about a week. It became a tourist attraction in the end. They got a grant from the council. There's T-shirts you can buy now...

Angus: Yes, thank you! Thank you Paul!

Paul: Commemorative dinner plates!

Angus: Yes, later that same month!

Paul: Happy birthday Olive!

Angus: Yes, it is.

Angus: (after Paul gets the Odd one out right) It’s a perfect answer. Damn!

s04-08 4 Dec 1992 Jo Brand Neil Kinnock

The Infamous Brown Suit Episode!!

Paul’s shirt: Black sweatshirt

Paul: Council Tax.

Angus: Well spotted.

Jo: (Terry Wogan appears on screen) I shagged him. (Loud laughter)

Paul: Nice suit! I always think brown is tremendously underrated, don’t you? As a colour.

*Only on DVD Very Best of*

Ian: It is very flattering.

Neil: It’s when the ex-lax comes in. Very disgusting.*

Angus: (takes out a tissue) I'm just going to blow my nose to make sure this gets edited out!

Ian: The words 'cowardly arse' spring to mind!

Angus: Mm, sorry.

Paul: I'll just carry on saying it. *It’s gonna be my answer to every question. Edit THAT out!* Brown suit! Brown suit! (Angus smiles and bops his head a bit, while laughing)

Angus: Right. Where were we?

Paul: We were talking about your brown suit!

The start of Paul’s tirade and insults about the Brown Suit is all on the “Very Best of” DVD. There is more jokes said that was cut including an Ex-lax joke from Neil and Paul saying that he was gonna answer every question “brown suit” and adds “Try editing THAT out!”.

Paul: One bloke had his sexual organs wired up to the Christmas lights in Regent Street. So when they were sort of turned on and Regent Street was full of colour, and you could hear this voice going "My God, yes!"

Neil: There was a photograph of him in a brown suit!

Paul: It's one of the tell-tale signs, apparently!

Angus: Yes.

Paul: Did you know you're sitting in broken glass?

Angus checks his seat for broken glass

Angus: Yes, I was that man. I admit it.

Ian: Why did you read all that out, Angus?!

Paul: It’s because he enjoys it.

“It’s Heil Thatcher”

- this was on the “Very Best of” special. Extra bit added where Paul jokes that the one who did the moustache was last seen wearing a Brown Suit.

Paul: (after Angus introduces the Archive Round) You’re just talking rubbish!!

Paul: What is that colour actually called? Is it called “Creosote”?

Angus: (opening jacket to check) Not sure. It doesn’t say…

Neil: What does it say?

Angus: (Checking label) It’s, uh, Winfield.

Neil: So what did Mr. Winfield say when you took his suit?

Paul: “Thank You”.

“Betty Maxwell sells *what*” - Paul: Is it very wet three-piece suits? - this was on the “Very Best of” special.

s04-09 11 Dec 1992 Peter Cook Douglas Adams

Paul’s outfit: dark grey jacket over black shirt with multi-coloured swirls and designs.

Paul does some more “Brown suit” jokes about Angus’s red jacket.

“Cookie” (as Ian called him joyously in the commentary) talking about Diana and Charles’ split was on the Very best of special.

Paul: Princess Anne is going to marry all these people

Peter: It’s “Operation: Drop Clinton in it”.

Sexual relationships with a car? I know Transformer fan girls get crazy at times, but this takes the cake!

Douglas: I don’t know if were allowed to say- I don’t know what sort of details we can go into, but…

Paul: I’d go for it if I were you.

Paul: Suddenly get an erection by the hob-knobs. (Me: *dies*)

Angus: Well, blow me if it isn’t Round Four, which it is fortunately, so it saved us from rather an embarrassing spectacle. (laughter)

Paul: I wondered what happened under that desk.

Angus: Very little.

Angus: Four worthy winners. Which one is the Paul Merton. Sorry. (Paul smiles)

Peter: Jackie Onassis was the only one who couldn’t remember where she was when Kennedy was shot.

Paul: How can it be an untold story if they told it?

Crazy Paul-Angus banter!

“I’d love *what* said Kylie” Paul: Is it a damn good seeing too?

s04-10 18 Dec 1992[1] Stephen Fry Frank Skinner

Angus’s got a weird sparkly bow tie on. Ian and Paul on the commentary wondered why he did. Paul then states jokingly that Angus was going to host “Come Dancing”.

Paul attire: black jacket over white shirt with mulit-coloured designed tie.

Stephen: Is it about someone calling Andrew Morton an Anus Horriblus.

- God I love you Stephen.

Stephen: (after Ian said the royal couple is separating) They aren’t!

Ian: They are!

Stephen: (dismayed) Oh no!

Stephen and Ian’s clip about the Royal family was on the “Very best of” Special.

Ian: Do you like Angus's tie?

Paul: Very brown isn't it?

Angus: Yeees... I knew it was a mistake.

Paul: Is this a reference to the villain in Goldfinger? The big guy. Was he called Blow- no.

Ian: (on David Mellor) He was in my Guardian (the newspaper) the other day. He might as well become an opera.

Stephen: In your garden?

Ian: No. (Hides face behind hand laughing)

Stephen: What’s going on?! What is going on?!

Ian: No, I’m sorry.

Stephen: (to Ian) Your turning into a bit of an old silly, aren’t you? (Ian laughs) You are.

Ian: You’re right!

Ian: (On Mia Farrow and Woody Allen) Did they invite you back to dinner?

Stephen: No.

Ian: Damn.

Stephen: I think its cause I went to bed with all their children.

Oh Fry.

Stephen: (on his and Ian’s clip) Well, I was watching this in bed, and I got up to get a glass of water and I fell over. That’s what happened next. (Laughter) I stub my toe.

Paul: What’s a “blue shirt”?

Angus: It’s a shirt which is blue.

Paul: Unlike a suit that is brown.

Angus: (nods) Very, very dissimilar. To that.

Stephen: What’s a homosexual?

Paul: About ten bob a week.

Paul: Prince Charles has road them all apart from… (Laughter)
Stephen: Get out. Get out! (Gestures Paul to leave) Get out!! Go on!

Stephen: Angus the prat

“Madonna in *What* at Tesco” Ian: Pick and meet. Stephen: Shelf next to other pop tarts.

“Mellor in *what* for five years” - Paul: Is it Brown suit? - This was on the “Very Best of” special.

Stephen: (after Angus announced that Ian and Paul were tied in winnings for this series) Why don't you have an odd number of programs, you idiot?
