"A Bit of Fry and Laurie" sets the gold standard for comedy sketch shows. Stephen and Hugh are best friends who have appeared together in many productions. They write and act all the sketches. In the first two seasons, they are occasionally aided by one or two other actors. Sometimes, one of them cross-dresses to create new characters. However, the vast majority of sketches consist simply of two Englishmen experimenting with different ideas. But Stephen & Hugh are so ingenious and work so well together that each sketch feels fresh and exciting.
The sketches are: Information Desk; Derek Nippl-e; Linguistic Elasticity; Hugh Sings "America"; Radio Interview/The Emperor of Disgust; Control & Tony; Busker/Blowing Through Spittle; Hand Exercises; John & Peter.
