    • Trivia
      Stephen Fry was never able to convincingly fake hitting someone, so often he genuinely hit Hugh Laurie while filming the sketches.
    • Quotes

      Stephen: The reason we're not going to do this sketch is that it contains a great deal of sex and violence.

      Hugh: A great deal.

      Stephen: Lots of sex and violence.

      Hugh: That's right. During the sketch, Stephen hits me several times with a golf club.

      Stephen: Which of course wouldn't matter except that I do it very sexily.

      Hugh: That's the trouble, you see. He does it so sexily. I wish you could see it.

      Stephen: And then the sketch ends with us going to bed together...

      Hugh: ...violently.

      Stephen: Very, very violently. Now this raises problems.

      Hugh: Not for me.

    I want all of this on dvd now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    A real gem of a program for anyone who likes their humour dry with a hint of genius! It is said that there are two types of comedy performers, clowns and wits but Fry & Laurie break this rule from the off. With perfect awareness of their characters physical presence they bring the intelligent, charming, surreal and downright odd sketches to life with zest and sheer love of wordplay and being silly for the sake of it. Note to the BBC please pull your finger out and release every last bit of this fine comedy series on dvd right now!
