A Bit of Fry & Laurie

The first of a new experimental series in which Stephen Fry will be played by Hugh Laurie and Hugh Laurie will be played by Stephen Fry. The part of 'A Bit' will be played by And, and the part of 'Of' will be played by Paddy Ashdown. The BBC takes no responsibility for articles of clothing removed on the premises.

Faxed to you live from medieval Spain. Comedic scenes of a more or less amusing nature which see out two chums struggling to overthrow the Moors. Guest appearance by Nigel Pargeter as the Lawntidy.

Stephen and Hugh cope with the knotty problem of offensive language. They have uncovered a series of obscure words like 'pempslider,' a 'cloff-prunker' and 'pim-hole' which are extremely rude, but pass unnoticed by most of us because we don't know what they mean.

On the soap opera side of things, Tom gets a surprise when Irene reveals her treachery, and the arrival of Duncan's new legs causes Bob's affair with Martin to reach flash point.

Last episode you met the Robert Robinsons, this week be prepared to face The Rhodes Boysons. The identity of the surprise guest is also revealed during the program which represents new horizons in home entertainment.

Passions run high in the final program of the series. The day turns out to be very unlucky for Hugh as Stephen becomes irritated by his piano playing and kills him. But the irritation continues as the program becomes an obituary for Hugh and ruins the sketch. However, there is a happy ending for those who like that sort of thing.
