Paul is being a bit of a dick in this episode

[henrah1981]

Will Self seems to have decided to conduct much of this interview in the style of Peter Cook..

[Badkarma333]

God bless both of them. The antagonism is fierce, but I think it spurred them both into being exceptionally funny on this occasion.

[TolpuddleMartyr]

The audience in this episode began by laughing at all Paul Merton's jokes and finished by laughing at all Will Self's. Interesting.

@arbutus27 The accent is definitely the same.

@flupmakintosh he was amazing on shooting stars! the funny sketches he used to do were brilliant. remember mark lamar had to pretend to be pissed off as well. it was important to have someone offsetting the whackyness which will self was brilliant at

[arbutus27]

Question on trainers - and frankly I was disappointed that Selfy didn't bring it up: how the f**k do you get dog turds out from all those grooves on the sole?

On another point, Will Self's persona in this is more a less a dead rip-of of Peter Cook's E.L. Wisty. Funny enough, but a rip-off nonetheless.

Paul obviously doesn't like Will.

[dantean]

@herefordmsv I don't think so. I think he's assumed a mock-abrasive jerk position to lend more fun to the thing. Self eats it up and doesn't miss a beat, don't you think? The effect, to me, is hilarious.

[bensimps123]

will self reminds me of the who quitarist pete townshend

[GlassPike]

Merton's so intimidated he's ruined the atmosphere with his petulant jealous attitude, and Self doesn't give the tiniest of shits. It's wonderful.

Being only 20, if I want to watch any comedy on TV I have to watch shit sketch shows, or a panel show with jimmy "pan face" carr swaggering it about and pissing me off. Shame I've only just discovered WIll Self.
