Fellow student Emma Thompson recommended Fry when Laurie was looking around for someone to help him write a pantomime. The two discovered a common sense of humour and began to work together regularly. After guest appearances on various programmes, and an instructive time as part of the Alfresco team, they graduated to their own show. A Bit Of Fry And Laurie was a witty and sophisticated entertainment of consistent high quality, with an old-fashioned revue-type atmosphere and oddly 'British' sketches that rejoiced in literary turns of phrase and elaborate wordplay. The delicate innuendos, coupled with Fry's ability to suggest hidden meanings in everyday phrases, gave the impression that bubbling below the innocent surface were lewd undercurrents threatening to burst through, although they never did. To add to this mix, Hugh Laurie demonstrated his keyboard talents with parodies of musical genres. Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie also doubled as the show's writers. The show aired in 4 separate series on BBC 2 between 1989 and 1995. This show came about due to the success of a special aired at Christmas in 1986. A Bit of Fry and Laurie received excellent reviews for its innovative approach to comedy. The pair have subsequently distinguished themselves as workaholic Renaissance Men with individual successes in many fields including the stage, feature films and literature, with both Fry and Laurie - the former with perhaps the most distinction - enjoying best-selling successes as novelists.

Hello :-) IMPORTANT DVD INFORMATION FOR MY US & CANADIAN CUSTOMERS: As per the auction these are UK Region 2 DVDs (US/Canada are Region 1) and you need a multi-regional (multi-zone) DVD player to play them! BUT don't panic just yet :-) Many DVD players are easy to unlock. Let me know the brand and model number of your DVD player so I see if there is a simple unlock code for your player. Many of my US/Canadian customers chose to play or copy these UK DVDs on a PC before playing them. I also see there are many economical Multi Region DVD players on EBay ($35-50). Just do a search if you wish. It seems a shame to let go of this great DVD set. Cheers :-) Powered by eBay Turbo Lister Track Page Views WithAuctiva's FREE Counter
