The problem with this sketch is that you get distracted by the images and so don't hear everything Fry is saying. I originally missed most of what he said between 3:20 and 3:32...
"But when your life is a perilous yo-yo eaten by destiny's right hand; when fate lights the cigarette; when chance plays the trumpet not very well, and hazard deals the cards from the bottom of your aunt..."
I can't find the The Red Hat of Patferrick. I would love to see it again. It contains one of the funniest lines in all comedy. Fry/Gutfright says: "I must add a warning. The BBC do not advise that you watch the unfolding of this dark tale if you are in any way of an erotic disposition." That is SO Stephen Fry!
Same! I was just going to say the same thing! I thought they were brown for the longest time, but they are a very pretty sort of blue-green, aren't they?
This sketch was brilliant....OR WAS IT??? ;)

"Wantings to buy flowerings"...
Their humour is really evocative of... Douglas Adams perhaps? Something like that.
79xd79 4 years ago 2
Stephen was a close friend of Douglas Adams. You can see Adams' influence in lots Fry and Laurie's writing, as well as in parts of Stephen's novels.
montyetc 4 years ago
Wow... I was spot on and I didn't even know it. I must be a literary genius.
Seriously though mentioning Douglas Adams makes me sad. It's a shame he's dead. Right in the middle of writing a novel, too.
