Unlock International NetflixA Bit of Fry & Laurie is a British sketch comedy television series written by and starring former Cambridge Footlights members Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, broadcast on both BBC1 and BBC2 between 1989 and 1995. It ran for four series and totalled 26 episodes, including a 35 minute pilot episode in 1987. As in The Two Ronnies, elaborate wordplay and innuendo were staples of its material. It frequently broke the fourth wall; characters would revert into their real-life actors mid-sketch, or the camera would often pan off set into the studio. In addition, the show was punctuated with non-sequitur vox pops in a similar style to those of Monty Python's Flying Circus, often making irrelevant statements, heavily based on wordplay. Laurie was also seen playing piano and a wide variety of other instruments and singing comical numbers.
Sketches include "Mr. Smear Confronts the Headmaster," "Hugh Laurie's Short Poetry Reading," "Politician Insists, 'Stop Breaking into My Car," "SAS Application/Library Books on Cricketers," "Spoon Bender," "Apology," and a barbershop piece called "Bitch Mother Come Light My Bottom" by Sir William (now Lord) Rees-Mogg.
Sketches include: "Information Desk," "My Name is Derek Nippl-e," "Flexibility of the English Language," America, "The Richard Morley Interview," "Tony Gives Control a Flash," "The Mouth Organist Gets Reprimanded," "Hands Exercise," and "Peter and John."

Fry and Laurie have gags over their mouths to protests the censors' ban on traditional swearwords.
