COULD

Hugh Laurie do his old comedy partner Stephen Fry a favour and agree to work with him again?

‘I miss telling a joke or putting on a stupid wig and playing a silly character,’ Laurie says of their hit TV show A Bit Of Fry & Laurie. ‘Those were happy days. I think we both look back on them with great affection. Maybe we’ll do it again one day.’

While Laurie has become a superstar in the U.S. in shows such as House M.D., Fry’s charms appear to be lost on the Americans. His latest U.S. comedy effort, The Great Indoors, which was due to be Fry’s big break, was cancelled last month after one series.
