Quote: Jane P @ June 8 2009, 7:44 AM BSTAhh Hugh Laurie - did you see him on Jonathan Ross, Friday?
Yep, he was lovely.
I don't watch House, so I definitely want him back over here.
It was however nice to hear that when Stephen's shooting in LA he stays at Hugh's house and they drive into work together.

So, who are you then? If you do indeed work at a production company? You can tell me, I won't tell anyone. (I will tell people)
One that immediately springs to mind, which always makes me crack up is on Fawlty Towers when a doctor (played by the one and only Geoffrey Palmer) orders sausages and they never arrive, later on he's in the hotel kitchen cooking them himself.

Matthew! And just a few days after we had made our peace with each other, too.

in Seinfeld.
I'm still scared of Raquel Welch, & I wouldn't mess with Bette Midler
Marisa Tomei was my favourite.

Or how about Jon Voight biting Kramer!

Oh yes, how could I forget that one - The Mom & Pop Store is one of the best Seinfeld episodes ever.

Not with your company, obviously.

One to watch? In a positive sense, I trust?
Quote: don rushmore @ June 8 2009, 2:44 PM BSTI wish you the very best of luck with your writing in the future.
Aw, schucks, thanks! Perhaps you'd like to read a new one. It is rated by none other than Seefacts. Though my agent advised me today that, despite enjoying much of it, it is probably unbroadcastable with the current pilot plot.
Anyway, got to get back to work on my new fun, silly, multi-camera sitcom set in a wacky Air Crash Investigation office - must fly! 
Richard Wilson in 'One Foot In The Grave'
Leonard Rossiter in 'Rising Damp'
I'm a winner, Tim; big and strong.
I can count Pat Sharp, Mick Brown and Paul Coia as close personal friends.
I've mixed it up with Kevin Bacon on the set of Hollow Man, and played golf with Danny Glover.
If you don't want my help, fine.
I don't need to be loved on this site, or even liked. I only have one wish. This wish being: for my words to be taken more seriously on The BCG.
All the best,
Don. Sometimes Don(na)
Brad Pitt in Friends was very funny although more of a guest appearance than cameo. Will & Grace always had fabulous guest turns but the one that always makes me laugh is Robin Williams in one of the very early series of Friends.

Paul Coia? Wow! Any plans for another series of Paul Coia's Hill Challenge? (A real comedy fan will get this reference.)
I once diagnosed Chris Tarrant with flu and know Ann Widdecombe's brother. I also threw a pint of beer over Al Murray had a drink with Ian St John in a London hotel.
We should get together and exchange old theatrical anecdotes.
Frank Finlay in 'Blackadder' as the Witchsmeller Persuivant. Brilliant performance. Cameo? Guest appearance? The decision is yours.

Such as 'Who's Mick Brown?'...

I don't get it, does this mean I don't really like comedy?
