Quotes From Series 2

Unfortunately, I have no shows of Series 1 on tape and I only have a couple of shows on tape from Series 2, so this list is by no means from the whole series. There are quite a few taken from each show, simply so there are enough for everyone to enjoy. I will be a lot more selective when it comes to quotes from Series 3 and 4, simply because I have far more shows on tape. Anyway, here’s the best from a few shows from Series 2…
