>>>>Yeah, when I wrote the questuion I didn't know that you guys had seen him in his English personae, thinking maybe you've only seen him im movies, doing an American. He used to have a brilliant comedy sketch series, with Stephen Fry, called "A bit of Fry and Laurie". Hillarious.

Once again, I've heard of 'I'm Sorry...', but never heard the show. I've never heard of 'The News Quiz'. There was another quite brilliant radio show the name of which escapes me, but I remember that it was a sort of general knowledge quiz would end with two of the panelists being each given an adage, and they competed to tell a longish story that purported to show us how the adage was derived, but the story had to end with a pun on the adage rather than the adage itself. I loved the show, but I just can't remember the name of it.
