A Bit of Fry and Laurie

1989 - 1995 TV-MA 30m 8.3

Comedians Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie perform a variety of comedy skits and the occasional musical number.

As the title suggests, "A Bit of Fry and Laurie" is less of a specific format than a 'coat-hanger' for short sketches, starring the comical duo in various, recurring or unique roles: Stephen Fry, the sophisticated giant who usually plays the smug one, and comparatively small Hugh Laurie, usually playing the patsy.
