A decent fourth episode of the underrated 'Paul Squire Esq'.
Paul begins by giving us some helpful advice on how to keep garden lawns tidy: ''You sprinkle whisky on your lawn and it comes up half cut!''. Paul then goes on to regale us with some fine impersonations of Tommy Cooper and Bobby Ball among many others.
A blindfolded knife thrower takes aim and throws a lethal looking knife at his male subject, to which point we hear a blood curdling scream. The knife thrower sheepishly moves over to a board reading 'The Great Waldo & Robert' and puts a letter 'A' next to Robert's name, making it read 'The Great Waldo & Roberta'!
In a Chinese takeaway, Paul asks the waiter for number 12 from the menu, however the waiter takes him literally, removes the number from the menu and hands it to Paul, who is left standing staring in confusion.
An elderly couple sit around a coal fire reminiscing about the good old days. ''We had some good times, Maggie'' says the old man. ''My name's Bertha!'' replies the old woman in confusion. The old man rolls his eyes in despair as he realises he is in the wrong house!
This edition was a great improvement over the previous week's effort, boasting some fine visual comedy and some great mimicry yet again from Paul. It was just such a pity he never caught on with the public. Had he arrived before the 'alternative comedy' brigade took over the box, he may have stood a better chance of finding his niche on television.
Funniest sketch - without shadow of a doubt the knife throwing sketch. It takes a person with zero sense of humour to not at least snigger at this one!
