GRAB BAG alterno revue, late in slot and long of trouser. STEPHEN “PICK A BUTTOCK UP” FRY, HUGH “SMELL?” LAURIE, BEN “ELTON BEN” ELTON, ROBBIE “BACK IN A JIFFY” COLTRANE, EMMA “BLARF!” THOMPSON and SIOBHAN “THE LINES” REDMOND arsed about out-of-doors on videotape instead of film. Not well remembered, or particularly well loved. By its participants, at least.

These days, Fry and Laurie pretend to be doctors on competing shows on the Fox Network. Apparently Ben Elton writes grouchy mystery novels.

I think I made it through half of one episode, and it was even more depressing than ‘Threads’.

One show that seemed to end up less than a sum of it’s parts in spite of a strong cast.
