Brilliant, perfect delivery.

Mussolini pics in the background 🤣

I’m definitely not going vegan now ☠️🤣

"I don't know how you beat me at this every time." "I'm not trying to beat you. I'm creating a beautiful pattern."

I used to watch this stuff all the time as a kid (was born in 1998) and apparently my parents knew nothing about it 😂

"If the government ever searched my house, you were the least of my problems"

This is a great example of the indomitable human spirit. Even if the whole world forces you to hide your true colours underground, there is still a small corner of the earth that gets to bask in the warmth of it, and as long as you make sure its alive somewhere, the world can never take you away from you.

You've got to love it when comedians know how to say everything while actually saying very little. "Phillips... where's Henderson?" All they needed to say. I fell over backwards laughing.

There were conservatives back then who lamented that B’stard wasn’t real.

Very right-on but its logical extension is the self-loathing attitudes of the elites towards the rest of the country some forty plus years on.

uh he called me a nincompoop

Still funny

Thanks God that satire's no longer relevant.

What’s with the swastika flag? I don’t understand its relevance

Pity the whole thing was on youtube, and now the best bits have been taken down. Especially the Fry/Thompson Jane Austin parody.

😂😂😂😂😂. I wasn’t expecting that!!

I remember when this was first broadcast on a Sunday evening in early 89.

Poor Tony, he had a terrible early start & that followed him through the rest of his life. RIP.

Wow I love Stephen Fry in Little Big Planet I mean Little Big Planet I mean Little Big Planet I mean Mirrormask (2005)

I can think of no better scene to depict how the newly rich behaved like during the 80s being Thatcher's little Stormtroopers.

Horrible

Wow he must be rich, he chops lines of coke with a silver knife and then chucks it onto Piers’ lap. The 80s truly was an era of excess😂

And here I was not expecting Hugh Laurie to show up.

Where there is fry there is always laurie

I wonder if he ever made it to Vermont? When Stephen Fry said he was planning on visiting for 50 states. I would’ve been at the venue in a heartbeat living here in Vermont. This is such a wonderful conversation. I love the level of curiosity, the respectful interruptions, the continual flow of ideas.

A couple years ago I found an audiobook version of The Wind in the Willows that was read by Terry Jones, you can tell the man is passionate about this children's classic

The guy in Eastenders there, his Dad is the Singer in Wang Chung.

Wonderful script! So nasty and funny!

“After 3 weeks stranded in the mountains we had to do it, nobody wanted to but… eventually we…. We ate the airline food… 😐… we wouldn’t have but.. we’d already eaten all of the passengers!” 🤷‍♂️✈️

"Santiago High Income Trust" "S.H.I.T?"

Lovely! I need to rewatch this.

The Mussolini gets me every Time already

I love and i mean love stephen fry in this movie he is over the beetroot burger moon

yes i agree the comment that when you are depressed its like you totally believe there is no ending. TO OVERCOME THIS TO SMALL DEGREE...i found that certain undeniable facts and using them as a sort of internal mantra. This would be along the lines of "although things are bad today the one thing in life that is constant is change and as bad as they get they can only get better. The problem is that depression is a very dark place so its important to use totally irrefutable logic as a mantra. I am now well free of this and it has been many years. I think its possible to lapse in depression easily and i would not be at all surprised if it was all related to diet after all we are what we eat. I also used a second mental mantra along the lines of life being a rollercoaster and you can more control the ups and downs for the most part so you better just buckle up and enjoy the ride as it will be over before you know it.

It unfortunately took 10 years for the algorithm to shovel this into my intray. But it did, so that's ok.

"Well he was a vegetarian." 🤣

How on earth did he survive for 58 days by eating one person?

I'm not sure what Stephen is saying. British society is very class ridden surely!

‘You wear a mask for so long you forget who you were beneath it’

Its a shame that they can't re-do this scene anymore....

The tories today.

Why low resolution ?

✌️🤠💥🌟🌀🌐

I wonder if modern Torries are like this you know Johnson's stormtroopers 😂

..he was a vegetarian. Brilliant.

I remember seeing this in the 90s. I was a teen and I have always remembered it. Great episode -I'm not sure if this was 2001 - Oh it was: 12 March 2001

How does one store a Quran and a batch of homoerotic material in the same room? By disrespecting the Quran of course. Yes, you don't need to be a Muslim to appreciate the "poetry" of the Quran, but you do need to be a homophobe, since the Quran vehemently condemns homosexuality.

Posh twats
