A Bit Of Fry & Laurie - The Complete Collection
Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie were among the most successful acts of the alternative comedy show Saturday Live/Friday Night Live, and after a Christmas pilot in 1987, the BBC commissioned a series from the duo in 1989.
"My father wouldn't have a television in the house, so we used to gather round every night and watch it on the lawn."
Fry and Laurie explored a seemingly inexhaustible list of subjects with a delicious turn of phrase and elaborate wordplay. The hilarity included regular acts such as not-so-super spy Tony Murchison and his boss Control, yuppies, John and Peter, as well as the concluding cocktail recipe to the accompaniment of Mr Music with plenty of Vox Pops.
With four brilliant series of great satire, comic genius and an hilarious use of language, Fry and Laurie are definitely at the top of the comedy tree.
