Forget about House and Stephen Fry's recent increasingly accomplished efforts to disconcert and discombobulate - this is the realest of deals. Fry and Laurie's late 80's/early 90's shows were things of, sometimes, often, not infrequently, quite regularly, rare beauty. This is one of their finest moments and reinforces the belief amongst fellow twatters (that's Twatters, Stephen) that their shows rank, alongside Python, as the very best of the sketch format. And also the dirtiest.
I loved Fry and Laurie when I was a kid - all the series are on DVD now for very little money. The rapturous, orgasmic cricket commentary sketch was always my favourite.
