In the first episode of a new series of What's Funny About… Peter Fincham and Jon Plowman are joined by comedy legends Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie to hear the story of how they made their breakout sketch series, A Bit of Fry and Laurie. Stephen and Hugh talk about the beginnings of their partnership, and finding their place against the backdrop of alternative comedy. They explain their decision to, on the whole, avoid returning characters - a slightly unusual choice in the tradition of sketch programmes. And they unravel for us one of the great mysteries of modern comedy - the origins of “Soupy Twist”! A Bit of Fry and Laurie is a ѿý production, all clips written by Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie. Producer: Owen Braben An Expectation Entertainment production for ѿý Radio 4
