Rah rah rah! We’re going to smash the oiks!

Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, Ben Elton, and Emma Thompson, plus Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones, and Robbie Coltrane. It’s a veritable cavalcade of 80s alternative comedians!

Other episodes have Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, and Lenny Henry. Amazing stuff.

Not sure why Peter Richardson never got a role, though.

And Motorhead. Don’t forget Motorhead. “To the station - but first - music!” {cue a killer live version of Ace Of Spades}

Crap. I got the cover with Patrick Dempsey on it. I love Hugh Laurie, and I am addicted to House.

I adore Hugh Laurie, and I think he is very sexy indeed, in an offbeat sort of way.

When I first started watching “House,” I had a hard time removing his brilliant portrayal of the upper-class twit Bertie Wooster from my mind, but the American accent helps.
