Thats probably one of the best 'Damn it!' sketches I have sen from Fry and Laurie! Love it how you can transport the boardroom anywhere, even into a public toilet (or 'sanitation complex') and it seems to work just as well! Gotta love em! Wish they would make a few more one off Fry and Laurie specials again...
John must have driven around 50+ miles to Uttoxeter as the nearest part of the A47 is East of Leicester. However, there is a short, isolated stretch North-East out of Nuneaton, which is never particularly busy and is the wrong direction to Uttoxeter, he would have taken the A444 up to the A5.
I'm sure I've seen this at least a dozen times over the years but this is definitely the first time I've noticed how cosy those two urinals are. Nice and close, no splash guards. Just right for a bit of hand shandy action.
They would have had to install an electric outlet in the set to run the coffee maker. They'd have had scalding hot liquid in every cup, of which they go through several. It would have been incredibly negligent to put hot coffee in cups that the script calls for crushing in their hands. Plus there would be a hot surface under the pot that someone could burn themselves on. No way does a prop master or director allow such risk for no point. Movies don't use hot liquid in cups, half the time they don't even use liquid. It would be insane to use hot coffee for a stage show like this. There's no advantage and only potential injuries.
@colinrogers1 I'm afraid I have to take issue with your comparison. SNL writers, I believe, have a single brain to share among themselves, which I further believe uses every synapse thinking up bathroom humor most of us outgrew in seventh grade. Take, then, Fry and Laurie, who here make even bathroom humor intelligent (pun intended).
It doesn't make sense for Peter to expose who is running next doors operation considering how competitive John has always been and how he would definately react on finding out such information like that, seeing as it was always Marjorie who messed up all their previous business ventures, especially at the health club. I think John needs to distance himself from Peter and find a new business partner or maybe even go it alone because everytime Marjorie gets mentioned all his business sense goes to the wall. DAMN!
But John asked Peter to find out who was running next door. It wasn't information that Peter had previously declared. John clearly sees Peter as an equal business partner, as evidenced at 2:51.
Watching this video makes me want to visit Uttoxeter and go to their finest public amenity system.
"Mirrors polished?"
"Til you can see your face in them"
Peter, its no use blaming the cistern! lol classic witty humour, great stuff!
When John burns his hands on the coffee !!!! Brilliant.

"Our clients can't be expected to dry their hands with hot air" 🤣🤣
A kitchenette in a toilet? Haha. Love these sketches!
The line delivery in this clip is a comedic masterclass all on its own
hahahahahaha
when Fry squishes the coffee cup with hot coffee in it... absolute gold.
Brown, surely..?
I love John and Peter. HILARIOUS!!
JOHN: Something I've always been meaning to ask you: How did you manage to keep Nancy for so long?
PETER: I've never been nancy, John.
These guys are absolutely fabulous.
Ab Fab is women though...

Public toilets still available in Uttoxeter, you’ll be pleased to know.
Fry's single "Damn!" on 1:06 is exquisite.
I bet they miss their Whiskey...
"Damn, blast, triple damn, with an extra side order of damn!" oh god so brilliant...
It's no use blaming the cistern! Ha ha ha! Love this stuff!
Hugh Laurie looks like Clint Eastwood ,
He meant if his career did go down the toilet not that it did.
It does 🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻🙌🏻
When John burns his hands on the coffee 😆😆😆
Only a fool would answer that Peeterrr...a month maybe twelve I dunno...behhhh!
I'm sure I've seen this at least a dozen times over the years but this is definitely the first time I've noticed how cosy those two urinals are. Nice and close, no splash guards. Just right for a bit of hand shandy action.
I actually think it's my favourite series of sketches.
'damn that ballcock' 'it's no good blaming the cistern'
By God, it's a lovely lavatory!
"Cheques can only be accepted if supported by a bankers card" Hahaha
4:37
Marjorie took everything.
This is it - the best Fry and Laurie sketch in the show.
no..no...no...Peter I don't want to hear this! ..........Yes. It's Marjorie, alright. DAAAAMMMMMMMMNNN
The fact this video was uploaded to this site when I was 4 is insane
Marjorie always seems to come up in most of their sketches. Marjorie is dead!
Viv. O Too soon to say. Cavendish is examining her now.
He's a doctor isn't he?!
@@zangetsresolve Wonder if he knows anything about clocks?
the best peter and john
This is so good. Thanks for sharing!
love it! it IS classic!
did Fry just have coffee INSIDE the toilet?
triple damn with an extra side order of damn!!!
Love it!
Did fry really splash hot water on his hand? He looks like he's in real pain.
Looked like it yeah :D
Acting!
That was real yes

I’m going to tell my descendants that this is what Succession was.
Two 80's wide boys running a public lavatory and someone votes it down... like it's not good enough!
If you think they are wide boys you are missing the point
my god, a toilet full of genius...!
I love that Collegehumor did the same bit-yes I know this came first
Don't tell Aaron Sorkin about these two.
Can you explain that to me sir?
Damn that margerie...
Of course it's Marjorie!
I just figured out that Fry is the talk-show host from V for Vendetta.

whoa
It grows on you. Many people don't get these Utoxeter characters at first. Sorry you're getting so many negatives (it's not me).
And Drummer4242 said "Pimhole".
I was angry with what happened to him in that move, :/.
i know it's hard
@Friscalating Isnt that a laugh?
Come on. I only said "a bit".
This video was just a bunch of yelling, not much was comical. From what I've seen, this show is a bit overrated.
