| Summary |
Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie wrote and starred in their own sketch comedy series on the BBC. They lampoon an endless array of targets with a delicious turn of phrase and elaborate wordplay. Absurdities abound as they devise new swearwords not yet banned for broadcast, and Fry impersonates Michael Jackson. |
