he said the secret to contentment was not to ask any questions. meaning that you'd only be 'content' if you weren't e.g. curious about anything. we wouldn't develop if we were 'content'. it's not ironically depressing
I always suspected that Stephen knows everything! This only confirms it. But does anyone know if "Drippy" (Colin Drip) really was Hugh's english master at the Dragon School? I know his headmaster was "Inky" (RK Ingram) because my dad was a student there at the same time Hugh was attending. They also had teachers called "Putty" and "Lofty".
I think it's really interesting that they both suffered from depressive disorders, but at the same time most that they've worked on together has been quite sweet and, if not uplifting, certainly the kind of thing to put one in a good mood.
I remember reading this one a while back.. Needless to say, much funnier to watch than envision. It looked like Steven caught Hugh off-guard when the latter asked 'Contented?' and the former replied 'Yes.' But that could just be me.. XD Great video though.
hmmmm i have never seen that show before. You should check out this video of my cousin pretending to be Britney Spears it is really funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZNAvjbvd7w
Mr. Drip and the #29 Bus on the Garboldisham road are both re-used on other sketches.

@04QuickSilver07 It was just random and nonsensical, you were expecting a standard reply, but he said that instead. It was meant to be a WTF moment.

I love a bit of fry and laurie :D stephen and hugh are the kings of comedians!
this was a great sketch, totally funny!
that being said though did anyone else find hugh laurie's question a bit depressing? (funny though it was was...)
'"can you tell me how to be happy?" "i'm afraid that information is restricted."'
funny yet rather ironically depressing... only fry and laurie...

It's even more sad considering Hugh Laurie was depressed for a long time.
