I'm on Feef's and ROB's side with this. I found it unfunny and cruel. It wasn't even an accurate portrayal - which would have at least made it bearable.

'Helen' was absolutely nowhere near - the only thing recognisable was the glittery jeans and the blonde hair. Certainly not the accent (don't know what it was supposed to be but if I was Welsh, I'd be damn insulted) or the mannerisms.

'Paul' was not much better. He didn't get the speech pattern at all, in my opinion. Just saying 'You know what I mean' every two seconds in a sort of mockney, Essex type voice does not count I'm afraid. In any event, this wasn't particularly a 'Paul Clarke' phrase - not one he was well known for anyway - so way off the mark there as well.

Let's face it, he wasn't doing Paul & Helen to gently satirise their idiosyncracies, but to show people how thick he thinks they are - there's a world of difference, and I found it quite offensive.

Didn't think the show as a whole was as strong as last weeks - even his Beckham seems to have gone off the boil.

I think it will be a "thanks but no thanks" from me from now on.
