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.
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.
