Homina, Homina, Homina: Hugh Laurie

Directed by Andrew Grieve

Andrew Grieve also directed 3 episodes of Kingdom.

I left my copy of AoNaA at home but my copy of Peter's Friends arrived today in the mail and woohoo I have duty tonight Guess I will be able to stay awake after all

Andrew Grieve also directed 3 episodes of Kingdom. He also directed 10 episodes of Poirot, which IIRC was filmed concurrently with Jeeves and Wooster, sometimes using the same stately homes. Maybe there was inter-cast socializing or some such. ETA: OK, got my Sherlock hat on. The writer for AoNAA was Guy Andrews who also wrote some Poirot and something called Les Girls (1988) which had in an apparently small role, one Hugh Laurie. So maybe there's the connection. Has anyone here seen Les Girls??

Has anyone here seen Les Girls?? I remember Hugh, in a Parkinson interview, saying that the Poirot people used the same cars and maybe even the same extras as Jeeves & Wooster so there must have been intermingling.....

Brian Eastman, the producer of J and W, also produced AoNaA, so maybe that had something to do with it. After all, they'd worked together for four years. And Andrew Grieve said in an interview that they wanted the nicest man in England to play Leo. 'Nuff said. :) Here's a quote from an interview Hugh gave to the Telegraph before the first episode went out: "I am terribly conscious of the fact that the world doesn't need any more actors. There are so many brilliant actors around that one more twit like me joining the back of the queue seems completely unnecessary." The pity is that it was well-reviewed but didn't get much of an audience.

Here's a quote from an interview Hugh gave to the Telegraph before the first episode went out: "I am terribly conscious of the fact that the world doesn't need any more actors. There are so many brilliant actors around that one more twit like me joining the back of the queue seems completely unnecessary." I totally agree. Who needs talented, sexy and fascinating guys taking acting jobs away from those other people. The pity is that it was well-reviewed but didn't get much of an audience. And, thanks to House, it's getting a second chance.

I'll get on the AONAA love train. Superb body, great hair, just sex bomb all the way. But that tai chi scene was cheese, in or out of context!

Word Boffle and hughsblues you said everything better than me. I hated the flashbacks and the scene with the naked secretary. Hugh looked great and gave a wonderful performance. I am unsure if his wife left him? can someone answer for me? I would like to see a continuation

Stephen Fry has got a podcast available on his site in which he talks about what projects he worked on in 2007 and how he broke his arm earlier this year.

I have a PC and use Windows, and when I try to click on the podcast or on the itunes subscription button, I get informed that my computer doesn't have the program to display the file. Does anyone have any tips on how to play the podcast? :( Thanks.

The actual file itself or just getting to the file? I ask because it took me a couple of clicks and a manipulated link to the podcast page to even get *to* the file. http://www.stephenfry.com/podcasts/rss.xml If that wasn't the question, at the very least, the file should play on quicktime players. I avoid itunes, normally, but isn't that the standard extension over there these days?

Stephen would prefer it played only on Apple machines. ;)

I'm not sure exactly where the problem is, sigh. When I try to click on the podcast button or on the itunes button, I get a message that there's an unknown extension and I can't play it. When I try to click on the button to help me find the unknown extension, the computer tells me it can't find it. When I try the rss button you also linked to, whether I press that one or the link you gave, I get a page of actual html writing--the code--instead of a formatted page I can see. I thought maybe I need to download something to help play the podcast but I don't what. Surely Stephen didn't make something Apple or Mac specific?

Stephen would prefer it played only on Apple machines. ;) If he would care to share, I'd gladly play it on an Apple machine. :D Those of you who haven't listened might find it amusing to note that Stephen said he was able to get away for the Christmas holidays "with some friends." I wonder who? ;) He also said towards the end that it was a good length podcast for a brisk walk. I actually cracked up at that b/c I was at the gym (and told myself the only way I could listen to it, was if I went to the gym) and thought to myself for Stephen to get out of my head! :lol: While I am not sure entertaining is the correct word, it did make the time pass by quickly! Surely Stephen didn't make something Apple or Mac specific? I have a pc and I had no trouble at all downloading it. Of course I also have itunes and an ipod.....
