The Mrs Merton Show is a mock talk show starring Caroline Aherne as the elderly host Mrs Merton. It ran from 1994 to 1998, and was produced by Granada Television.
The writers included Aherne, Craig Cash, Dave Gorman and Henry Normal.
It was followed-up by a sitcom, Mrs Merton and Malcolm, based on Mrs Merton and her son Malcolm, who was played by Craig Cash.
In August 2006 a poll of 4,000 people was commissioned by UKTV Gold for the best comic one-liner. In second place was a line from the Mrs Merton Show when she famously asked Debbie McGee why she married magician Paul Daniels. "So, what first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?" [1]
