- Synopsis:
A collection of the best moments from the mid 1980's live comedy show that introduced the talents of Harry Enfield and Ben Elton to the British public, alongside the newly formed comedy duo of Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie.
Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie
Before branching out into A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie brought their brand of sharply satirical, brilliantly eccentric humour to bear on a number of pressing topics on both Saturday Live and Friday Night Live. This compilation features such treasures as a mini-lecture on why 'Size Doesn't Count', the pitfalls of 'Buying a Hedge', and why we should all 'Carpe Diem' before saying 'Byeee'...Harry Enfield
Harry Enfield unleashed a trio of comic characters on Saturday Live and Friday Night Live: Greek café-owner and Arsenal supporter Stavros, the hilariously monstrous Loadsamoney - the Cockney plasterer and millionaire-in-the-making who propelled Enfield to comedy superstar status - and, occasionally, his lesser-spotted and hardier Geordie adversary, Buggerall Money. While Loadsamoney never missed a chance to fl ash his cash, Buggerall Money settled for smoking tabs (sometimes three at a time, mind!). Just don't mention Luton Town FC...
Ben Elton
Ben Elton's unstoppable monologues on a variety of topics delighted audiences for the classic comedy showcase throughout the later 1980's. Whatever the subject, 'Motormouth' Elton usually delivered a turbo-charged rant about it - be it the evils of Thatcherism, Yuppies, Clause 28 or nuclear power. This compilation features the sparkly-suited stand-up legend and Blackadder co-writer in fine form.- Actors:
