A Bit of Fry & Laurie

A Bit of Fry & Laurie was witty and sophisticated entertainment of consistently high quality, with an old-fashioned revue-type atmosphere and oddly 'British' sketches that rejoiced in literary turns of phrase and elaborate wordplay.

To add to this mix, Hugh Laurie demonstrated his keyboard talents with parodies of musical genres. 7.9 HD
