@HulloKat I think its not just what they say but the way they say it. I think thats part of the this type of British Humour, to show that you don't have to use blatant Swear Words or any particular Words to be funny. If you project them a certain way, ie like this, then you can bring the House down. Not an easy thing to so I'd say.
This is not from ABOFAL, because it's not on the DVD box, and it's definetly not from the Cambridge footlights, because Ben Elton is in it. So where does this come from?
just saw the QI episode where emma thompson was a guest. she was talking about how she used to scare stephen fry by parading around in front of him stark naked and locked all the doors so he couldn't escape
BRILLIANT stuff indeed... I also adore watching Jeeves and Wooster on the TV... Stephen is an excellent Jeeves and Hugh plays Bertie Wooster to perfection...
And Emma.. well she is perfection as Elenor in Sense and Sensibility (which she did the screen play for) ... :0)x
Emma, don't break up a nice couple like these two.

I don't know if anyone else out there has seen SNL's "Colonel Angus" skit. But this is basically the British, intelligent, witty version of that skit.
I quite agree that these are some of the most legendary people to take to the screen. If only we were all BFFs...
