Ye, that Harry and Paul bit was a highlight of the BBC2 celebrations. They didn't deal it out to themelves as harsh as others though, particularly after Paul's proper shit throwing j'accuse moments during the fast show years with Higson

Well Harry got both barrels, this was another highlight from a brilliant hour of TV:

Got a source for Paul's shit throwing? That passed me by.

that clip there was the one that prompted me to think PW gave him an easy ride. I had been looking forward to the same treatment being meted out. The interview I can't find has PW and CH talking about how Harry took the credit for their creations and became the rich star. They were asked what lessons they learned it was something like , don't trust someone like that who says one thing and and then screws you. It was quite bitter and didn't seem to be tongue in cheek

I dunno
best I could find was this: www.independent.co.uk/life-style/the-interview-paul-whitehouse-talks-to-ben-thompson-1318342.html
The relevant bit is the end of paragraph four.
Interviewer is at pains to make clear it was tongue in cheek here. I think it's probably a well worn riff, and like all the best sarcasm it is sometimes delivered completely straight, with a stony face, so can be mis-read. Enfield made his name doing voices on Spitting Image, so I think he was Whitehouse's and Higson's way in.

might be a riff, but it was the two of them and they came back to it. i'll look again later or someone else might find.

I met Paul Whitehouse once.
He was in my local. He was shit faced after a nearby gig. I'd had a few too. I said something really lame like "I'm a big fan of your work", he said something like "that's very nice of you to say so". Seemed like a decent bloke.
