Many, many years ago whilst working at BBC TV Centre Fry and Laurie got into the same lift as me. For some reason I just found them hilarious and cracked up. They were just talking shooting schedules or similar but they just sounded/looked like their characters doing a sketch. Anyway they took the lunatic stood beside them in good humour.

Couldn't agree more (well I could, but I'm too lazy). The second series was consistently fabulous, third a relative disappointment, and I didn't bother with the fourth.
Stephen Fry is awesome but unbearably twee and clever little me in the Hitch Hiker's Guide movie.
Rewatching the first series of this and really enjoying it. It's nice to see two comedians who aren't ashamed of their intelligence.
Whenever I'm feeling a bit glum I dip into it on YouTube.
I remember a reviewer remarking about the obvious talent of Fry and how it was good of him to help out Laurie who has nothing without him and won't amount to much. 
So this just got posted on YouTube:
Great interview with them both on radio 4 this morning
It's on BBC Sounds
Felching pens is one of my favourite sketches of all time.
Stephen Fry gets smugger by the day.

Definitely. Bragging that he'd snorted coke at Buckingham Palace really made him plummet in my estimation of him. Just a big kid.
He (along with Julian Clary and Peter Cook) was bloody useless on Whose Line Is It Anyway?
