Honestly, this is an excellent show, and to be honest I'm not going to go into detail about why I love it, but all I'd like to say is that it seems like it actually set the bar for comedy, it hasn't aged,and there was this one sketch in which Hugh plays an disabled person is a wheelchair who repeats certain statements and then shocks the audience in some way. If this isn't sounding familiar at all, then think Little Britain and the sketch where Lucas plays the disabled fellow, almost an exact copy apart from the fact I think Laurie's funnier, I still like Lucas though.But, yeah.

A sketch show featuring the comic talents of two of Britain's finest.Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie lampoon most aspects of British life, playing a seemingly endless series of over-the-top caricatures of the populace. Thick as pig-droppings members of the general public, old boy toffs, crazed eccentrics and even bizarre secret agents are all on show and, whilst it can be a bit hit and miss, the standard is usually pretty high.Stephen Fry is the standout of the two, as his excessive 'poshness' is used to great effect as he plays bumbling buffoons, corporation bosses and ludicrous TV presenters.Always entertaining without being truly groundbreaking, it is worth a look.The usual gripe, that is common to most sketch shows of the time, is the unnecessary inclusion of musical numbers, but that aside a thoroughly enjoyable show.

Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie are known for their comical timing, wit and acting skills and until now one could only imagine what sort of mad magic will be created if they script down and act out a "sketch" themselves. A bit of Fry and Laurie encapsulates the talents of both of them in the perfect proportions to make the audience laugh. Not having to use a script, but just 'Bits' as the title suggests, makes it all the more light-hearted. The use of language to make something absolutely innocent, to outrageously funny is probably the most striking aspect. Sure they go overboard sometime, but hey like I said, its madness. Funny, insane, sometimes thought provoking and of course Fry and Laurie.

A real gem of a program for anyone who likes their humour dry with a hint of genius! It is said that there are two types of comedy performers, clowns and wits but Fry & Laurie break this rule from the off. With perfect awareness of their characters physical presence they bring the intelligent, charming, surreal and downright odd sketches to life with zest and sheer love of wordplay and being silly for the sake of it. Note to the BBC please pull your finger out and release every last bit of this fine comedy series on dvd right now!
