After a few appearances on various television shows, ex-Cambridge University students Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie finally got the chance to shine in their very own, A Bit Of Fry And Laurie.

Full of turns of phrase and elaborate wordplay, A Bit Of Fry And Laurie was the kind of sophisticated comedy that had been little seen on British TV screens. With an old-fashioned revue-type atmosphere and oddly 'British' sketches, the delicate innuendos, coupled with Fry's ability to suggest hidden meanings in everyday phrases were a winning formula that allowed the pair to continue their partnership for almost 10 years.
