I dislike the word "brothel," sir; I prefer the word "brothels." This is a brothels.

"A Bit of Fry & Laurie" sets the gold standard for sketch comedy shows! In its third season, the show benefits from a generous budget and the increased experience of its writing/acting duo. Although they feature the same two faces we've been watching for more than 12 episodes now, the sketches are still fresh, clever, and hilarious.

This episode's sketches are: Yorkshireman vs. Southern Pansy; Unusual Names; Velcro Fly; Hugh Sings "Hey Jude"; Monologue: The Day I Forgot My Legs ("I stooped, I recall, to pick a buttercup. . ."); Ffiring the Personnel Manager; What Happened Next?; Balloon-O; Shoe Brothels; Cocktail: Everything in the Till and No Sudden Moves.
