This episode is from 18-04-1997 and features eco-warrior Swampy and Fred MacAulay as the guests. It’s particular notable for Swampy’s ignorance about who Neil Hamilton is after being told that Neil is a supporter of Swampy’s cause – famously commenting “Excellent! Who’s he?”. I’ve cleaned up the audio as best I can.

Paul Merton is a fool to himself.
Tigers like Frosties not weatabix.

CHICKEN RUN!

The whole tiger-puma-farmyard visit was HILARIOUS!!!

I like how there’s so many moments here where Angus tries to remain serious but ends up breaking.

I love the quote from Adam West saying how he was annoyed after batman as people treated him as a joke. What must people treat him like now after Family Guy. He’s not exactly a serious character in that.

ooooooo, because comments on a website really make a person don’t they. You were being critical and then denied it, hence the lying. I’ll be critical of whatever the hell I feel for, its my right. So I’ll be critical of you thinking you can know a person you’ve never met based on some remarks made on a website, it’s a rather retarded way of thinking, or perhaps not thinking as the case may be.

Excuse me! I was stating a fact. One that you and your condescending ways seem oblivious to. And I have read other of your comments throughout this site so I know what I am talking about.
By the way you being condescending now that is me being critical you are an obnoxious twat-again that is me being critical and also right.

Way to go, make a critical comment and then deny it, we’ll have to add liar to your list of tricks…..
2:38 AM on March 1st, 2011
I am not criticising.
3:29 AM on March 1st, 2011
As do you it seems…
I’m not being critical, i’m saying that none conformity is a myth.
4:19 AM on March 1st, 2011
Maybe you just don’t make an effort full stop. You do like to criticise though don’t you?
4:52 AM on March 1st, 2011
Also if he seems a bit dim here I would venture that it may be due to several joints in the dressing room….

thanks for taking the time to respond ;o)

Not really certain, I’m neither main stream nor alternative. I don’t make any particular effort to conform or to not, I must conform to something as its how you get on with the world, if you fight everything you end up a loner with no friends. Most folks say I’m rather eccentric.
6:19 AM on March 1st, 2011
what do you conform to, FordPrefect, I’m just curious.
6:43 AM on March 1st, 2011
There’s no such thing as a nonconformist! Everyone conforms to something. Swampy conforms to a group who go and live in trees and consequently kill said trees and scare off all the local wild life and leave a huge mess behind them when they finally leave. I’ve seen his “protests” first hand and the damage they cause.

I love it when Paul gets bored and starts telling stories.
7:46 AM on March 1st, 2011
I like how it’s the stuffy suits versus the nonconformists. They seem to be loving the point margin…
I like to think Swampy was already in the room when they walked in, having tunneled in from his muddy field several hours previously.

Swampy-(“Utter moron”)perhaps some people should find out what he stood for, his principles and actions. Just because a person isn’t glued to a TV screen, and being brainwashed my the media, doesn’t mean they are a moron!!!!!!
8:52 AM on March 1st, 2011
Swampy should be a M.B.E.
9:02 AM on March 1st, 2011
Swampy should have be a M.B.E. /l.
9:07 AM on March 1st, 2011
I personally Love swampy. He’s weird but quite sweet. Love Paul’s tiger/weetabix rant too.
9:52 AM on March 1st, 2011
Sometimes it does, yeah, but I wouldn’t say this is one of those times.
9:58 AM on March 1st, 2011
Not necessarily. Sometimes a boring guest makes for a good show, because Paul gets to take the piss out of them for the whole episode.
Poor Swampy – he’s just out of his element here.
10:29 AM on March 1st, 2011
Or from the opening seconds due to the fact that one of the guests they’ve got is fucking shite?
