Stephen I wanted to meet an angry African leaderwho doesn't like gay people so now I have to kill myself" Fry.

Stephen "A convincing case of Hughs & Laurie" Fry

@@dickJohnsonpeter what?

At least he looked his age unlike most of his team-mates! It's hard to believe that they'd only have been in their late teens/early twenties.

Yeah in a LOT of old 70’s/80’s photos and tv shows, many younger people tend to dress up as older.

link to that?

​@@collardgreen It's on the Birth episode

Wasn't he also in the opposing team on University Challenge in The Young Ones episode?

The guy on the far right had a good one to be fair, it just might have been styled better

He's neither gentle nor a man. He's actually that stupid that he doesn't know you aren't supposed to put your man bits into other men.

"Spit it out, man!"

Haha true

Was just about to say the same thing. Bamber was very generous there.

They weren't so nasty back then!

I thought of the very same thing the moment i realised this wasn't another Fry and Laurie sketch but an actual TV appearance.

Got here from bingewatching University Challenge with Tom Scott as one of the contestants! (2022)

In the prime of his life playing hide the sausage nightly in his dorm room.

No, sorry Queens', I can't accept that - Fry are young by definition. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juvenile_fish ( help I'm trapped in University Challenge mode... )

@@michaelgove9349 lol. can't argue with that

I mean, this is when he was a student. There wouldn't be any other reason to have footage of him at this age when he was a uni student.

I didn't even know he was ever that young!

@@cabletelcontar5440 me too

So he was 22 years old at the time…

World’s biggest bottom burp?

@@megamcgee Oh! Oh! Rick! Britain! (rip People's Poet)

@@megamcgee Stickiest bogey ?

@@megamcgee I told you that Mike, you bloody cheat!

Oh no.... Im just going to have to wee on Lord Snots head.

"Rah, rah, rah! We're going to smash the oiks!"

Battle of Bannockburn!

I thought this was a comedy sketch and the guy on the left in the thumbnail was Kenny Everett!

He had - we both went to the barber on Pembroke Street, known as "the bender's". Ironic really

Meow! Stephen Fry has more intelligence in his little finger than you will ever have.

@@jillosler9353 What's a matter? You're feeling down and have to abuse other people publicly to boost your ego because you're not intelligent enough to recognise a joke when you see one? I didn't invent the joke about Stephen Fry being a dumb-arse always wearing an ear-piece just to sound intelligent. It was Fry himself. You've been played, woman.

My god you’re right

Oh yes, because everyone who goes to Cambridge is wealthy?

He had a scholarship. And he had just been released from prison when he went there. There's more to most situations than you think.

@@zingzangspillip1 so that’s where he got into the habit of playing hide the sausage? Dropping the soap in the prison showers.

@@xr6lad Are you referring to Stephen's homosexuality, or his habit of smuggling in smallgoods? Based on your subtle wordplay, I couldn't tell.

I know a lot of people who do similar things and would never admit to it even on their deathbed.

who is gasbag? if you mean fry.. you can't swot up on questions you don't know!

@@boliusabol822 Bamber Gascogne , the shows host in the ‘70 s. Obviously he knew the questions in advance , and would swot up a bit so as to appear knowledgeable on everything. For example , “ Wrong answer I’m afraid. You where probably thinking of Louis IV. “ or “ Yes, quite correct and he then went on to found the institute for ……..” It’s just showing off a bit !

@@stechriswillgil3686 ok gasbag but i think as far as Bamber goes he was just doing his job. not sure but maybe you're just a little jealous of those with the knack or something, maybe trying to look smarter than you actually are, perhaps you'll admit it in years to come..

I remember the joke that Bamber told to warm the audience up before this episode: "If you laid all the Newnham students end to end ... nobody would be at all surprised". Newnham was the last women-only college and that was the 1980s for you

@MichaelKingsfordGray what?

what?

@@alexyz9430 what?

Huh?

@@LeofromFreo Eh?

Steve Edge.

19 20 or 21. Undergraduates usually

@@greggrimer1428 I think Steve Botteril was 24 because he was a postgrad student and Stephen Fry was 23 because he'd been in prison for credit card fraud.

@@Nastyswimmer 21 or 22, he only was in prison for three months.

Its 11 years old but we are the only commenters. Strange.

Mp4 is just a container, not a codec.

MP4 still exists you know… 🤦

are you joking?

@@holliswilliams8426 No.
