House may be a medical drama, but you don't have to watch Hugh Laurie in the
titular role for very long to realize the man has an innate comedic sensibility. Of course, some of us knew that already
when our ol' pal Hugh was cracking wise on such popular British series as Blackadder. Best Week Ever has a clip
of a younger, fresh-faced Laurie playing piano and singing an ode to a long lost love that gets stranger and stranger as
it goes on. According to a comment, the clip comes from a show he did with comedian Stephen Fry called A Bit of Fry
and Laurie, which, according to IMDb, ran from 1986 to 1995. And hey, what do you know, the first two seasons of
the show will be out
on DVD in August. Now you can get the full spectrum that is all things Laurie. Very nice.House sings of the one he adores

Don't forget "Jeeves and Wooster"! They showed the series on PBS's "Masterpiece Theatre" in the early 90s. I have the box set.

A Bit of Fry & Laurie is absolute genius.
