A Bit of Fry and Laurie S02E04 Part-2/3

A Bit of Fry & Laurie is a British television series starring former Cambridge Footlights members Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, broadcast on both BBC2 and also BBC1 between 1989 and 1995. It ran for four series and totalled 26 episodes, including a 35 minute pilot episode in 1987. Both Fry and Laurie have expressed interest in working together again, but this has been prevented by the busy schedules of both men.

The programme was a sketch show cast in a rather eccentric and at times high-brow mould. As in The Two Ronnies, elaborate wordplay and innuendo were staples of its material; some sketches deliberately threatened to cross the line into vulgarity, but would always finish just before reaching that point.

It was a progressive show, playing with the audience's expectations. For example, it frequently broke the fourth wall; characters would revert into their real-life actors mid-sketch, or the camera would often pan off set into the studio. In addition, the show was punctuated with non-sequitur vox pops in a similar style to those of Monty Python's Flying Circus, often making irrelevant statements, heavily based on wordplay. Laurie was also seen playing piano and a wide variety of other instruments and singing comical numbers. * "Big" Introduction * Dinner With Digby * Returning suits * Hard Man's Record (1st Alan) * Small Talk * Dammit Lavatories (5th John & Peter) * The Robert Robinsons * Spies/Telescope (7th Control & Tony) * Stephen and Hugh become big/"A Bit of Little & Large"

The sheer volume of liquid that those two must have consumed during the "john and peter" sketches is astounding!
