I hate it when people blame their own failure on unfairness in the system. I was Princess Anne's assistant and I got promoted to Princess Anne within 5 months!
"And then I became a neurotic doctor at a free clinic in the US... had to wear a cane to distract people from the fact that I wasn't really an American."
Had a friend burst out laughing as soon as I started a story. I said what? I haven't said anything yet. He said every time you tell a story you're doing something else in it for a living. It was true. Lol. Retired now and no regrets. I have such a varied skill set and life has been rich. Writing now with lots of material upon which to draw.
Or landed something really obscure like an old fashioned sewing machine and just sticks it in the bucket like its a normal thing to catch a sewing machine in the river.
"Then came the big nudist crash of '87..." I think I remember reading about that in the newspapers. Couldn't understand it myself. It takes money to buy clothes, but it costs nothing to take them off.
Did nobody catch that when he said "move house", he literally meant they moved his entire house? LMAO when he said "put the last slate back on the roof" I died
Hugh Laurie has just gone up in my estimation. The few things I'd seen of his before were a bit cringeworthy, but he is obviously a great talent and he should study to be a nurse or something. Maybe limping, too.
Me. I had to go and buy some bloody clothes. Just a skirt mind, no knickers. I had faith the recovery wouldn't be very far away. Of course, I've been wearing a suit for a long time now. :(

( 2 fingered salutes to reporters & paparazzi being her forte. Got to learn that skillset! )
And....who was your referral for that job?
im putting freelance nudist on my resume
"I'll show my freelance to anyone who asks."
This man looks perfect to play a neurotic doctor at a free clinic. Tv executives should take note!
"And then I became a neurotic doctor at a free clinic in the US... had to wear a cane to distract people from the fact that I wasn't really an American."
Have I got news for you
"it was obvious they were never gonna make me Princess Anne" hahaha
I love that he put on a suit to go fishing :L
There is something amazingly ironic about fishing in a suit. I should try that one time :p
You'll get more strange looks wearing a suit for fishing than being nude for fishing. :D

That random duck quack at the end seems the perfect finish. :)
That is a duck laughing at the Princess Anne joke. It took minute to get it.
I was a bit disappointed he didn't break off his monologue to land a fish.
Baby Simba You're not quite the full shilling, are you?
Baby Simba Lol.

Expenses, you know...fines, legal fees. And in winter lots of cold treatments
His monologue is a very clever dig at the "jobs" and "positions" of members of British nobility. Brilliant!
Beautifully delivered. Superb.
suit up for fishing. how legendary.
This sketch is an example of why British humour is the best on planet Earth. I am saying this as an American.
Then, came the Head of Diagnostic Medicine at Princeton Plainsborough Teaching Hospital
Ahh the Nudist Bubble... I remember that time. Crazy, crazy time.
... so amazing .. i cant comprehend the amazingness of it...
This guy should write his memoirs!
I just...love to listen to him talk...:D
It was clear they were never going to make me Princess Anne...lol!
...cuts to Stephen Fry in drag lol
he`s looking great in this one!...and hillarious:)
Fry at the end lol
Talk of the new NASA chief.
I want to be a travelling loss adjuster.
Did nobody catch that when he said "move house", he literally meant they moved his entire house? LMAO when he said "put the last slate back on the roof" I died
I wondered what he meant when they "put on the last slate"
Er, yes - got it right away, thanks.
But then they had to move the house back. Good times...
It's almost like you got the joke.
Yesss - I got it - and I‘m not even a native speaker!
he's so cuuuute !
it was his birthday yesterday ^^
I always got the impression he was a vicar in this sketch. Not sure why.
Cracks me up bc it sounds a bit like my CV.

Soooo handsome (:
Search 'Hugh Laurie old girlfriends' for another brilliant sketch in a similar style
'What they do is they go around the seaside resorts putting on loss-adjusting shows for children.'
Perfect excuse for quitting a job if there ever was one!!!
There's another dirt y word: "Job".
ewr qre Definitely, but security isn't a dirty word!
Viv. O
"crevice" is reasonably dirty
Now, leak is a positively disgusting word!

Who remembers the big Nudist Crash of '87?
Me. I had to go and buy some bloody clothes. Just a skirt mind, no knickers. I had faith the recovery wouldn't be very far away. Of course, I've been wearing a suit for a long time now. :(
Hugh is so cute and funny!
(who's Nigel Havers?)
Dare I say it, he doesn't mention when he practised in diagnostic medicine.
Why they stopped the interview? I wanted to know what he is doing now? Fish-insurence?
@xNikkaX3 no kidding! I do not drool easily, but... *drool*
genius
Why isn’t there more of this?!?
He was born the 11th of june.
Can I hire him for that?
those taped laughs sound so spontaneous!
@ImeldaLumos where else could he attach it?
You're not from Britain, are you?
oblong
Perpendicular
🙃😀
It's called Wikipedia...
really?? What day was that?
Is that some sort of foul crime? Does one need to be from the UK to understand or know certain things?
nope
