| Paul Merton: The Series | comment |
Paul Merton's Sketch Comedy show borrows a little from Stand-Up Comedy, a pinch of weird-ass situations, and a healthy dose of inspiration from silent films. Also, lots of comedic monologues.It stars him as The Protagonist and aired for the first time in 1991. It lasted until 1993. Other members of the regular cast include the comedic actors Robert Harly and Jonh Irwin. | |

Borrowed Catchphrase | |
| Paul Merton: The Series / int_2f62653b | comment |
Borrowed Catchphrase: One sketch ends with Caroline Quentin (Paul's wife at the time) singing "Je Ne Regrette Rien". At the end of the song, Paul tells her "That's not French — you'll have to do better than that." She addresses the camera with his catchphrase: "Innit marvellous?" | |

It Came from the Fridge | |
| Paul Merton: The Series / int_7451e686 | comment |
It Came from the Fridge: In one of the comedic monologues, Merton explains that he lives across the street from a detention center and that one of the inmates has made a tunnel to the back of his fridge. Merton has been kept up at night by the sound of prisoners escaping out of his fridge. In another sketch, he reveals that he is frequently visited by beings from outer space. Merton tells the story of how a blob showed up on his doorstep and started telling him that it could show him things beyond his wildest imaginings. Then, the blob exclaims "Blimey! You've got prisoners jumping out of your fridge!" | |

The Big Board | |
| Paul Merton: The Series / int_87504252 | comment |
The Big Board: In one sketch, a gang plans a bank robbery this way, and as it drifts further from its origins they keep producing implausibly specific models to add to the map to illustrate their points. | |

Implausible Deniability | |
| Paul Merton: The Series / int_d34cbda2 | comment |
Implausible Deniability: In one comedic monologue, the character explains how he's been falsely accused of murder, but the evidence is so against him that he never stood a chance: "Sure, the cops found me standing over the guy with a smoking pistol in my hand — sure, sure. Sure, I had the motive. I had the opportunity. I even remember killing him! But you must believe me, I didn't do it." | |
