Is it true Paul Merton never liked Deayton.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/2006614.stmI only ever saw the episodes with Angus Deayton. I thought it was a real shame that he left, because I thought he was excellent. I first saw him on KYTV (always loved this scene btw).
Why did he actually leave?
(see also the links therein)
Basically, Deayton was caught with a prostitute, and the show ridiculed him for it, initially in a mocking and self-referential way. However, the ridicule became too much of a dominant topic on the show (particularly on a later episode where the not exactly saintly Christine Hamilton [*hackspit*] took great delight in reminding him of his shame), and eventually it was decided he was to leave.
Oh wow. That's pretty cruel, isn't it? I mean I don't want to defend what he did but couldn't his colleagues have eased up a little on the matter?

That's how I heard it when I typed it. Psychic communication over the Internet!
I buy it every fortnight, trust it more at reporting facts than any of our "news"papers, and its funny too
