Goofs
During the "Cocktail" end credits, Fry shakes the cocktail mixer inside his trousers, then puts the mixer on the table. In that moment, there's clearly visible a second mixer already on the table on the far right, which is likely the one Fry uses to pour the drinks in the end.

6/10

"The tall one and his slightly less tall, less talented friend."

After the weak first two episodes of season 4, "A Bit of Fry and Laurie" is never quite as hilarious as it was in previous seasons, but it is still fun. Stephen & Hugh spend a bit too much time introducing their guests and repeating old routines, but the sketches are plenty funny.

This episode's sketches are: Cold Open: Wandering and Talking; Intro: Top Gear; Guests: Caroline Quentin & Patrick Barlow; Dave Wilson's Football School; Good Morning (the return of Mr. Dalliard!); Discussion: Guest Roles; Rap: Be Nice ("'cause I'm a good-ass motherliker!"); Head Gardeners; Gelliant Gutfright Presents Flowers for Wendy; Cocktail: A Quick One with You, Stephen.
