    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Stephen Fry was never able to convincingly fake hitting someone, so often he genuinely hit Hugh Laurie while filming the sketches.
    • Quotes
      • Stephen: The reason we're not going to do this sketch is that it contains a great deal of sex and violence.
      • Hugh: A great deal.
      • Stephen: Lots of sex and violence.
      • Hugh: That's right. During the sketch, Stephen hits me several times with a golf club.
      • Stephen: Which of course wouldn't matter except that I do it very sexily.
      • Hugh: That's the trouble, you see. He does it so sexily. I wish you could see it.
      • Stephen: And then the sketch ends with us going to bed together...
      • Hugh: ...violently.
      • Stephen: Very, very violently. Now this raises problems.
      • Hugh: Not for me.
