Stephen Fry is a gem of an actor ! I just see General Melchett or Wellington from Blackadder! Superb 👍

Blackadder and Melchett's descendants share their ancestors' close bond.

Lol when they got Stephen on board did they just say "do Melchett again?"

[bundle]

Their faces when he kept his leg up 😂😂😂😂😂

You can tell Stephen had a lot of fun doing this bit.

Stephen Fry is great at portraying British eccentrics.

Melchett the mountaineering guide years

His eccentric performance here reminds me of Graham Chapman

[adnaanu]

I've always thought of the Thin blue line as a continuation of Black Adder

Blaster Sump would make a perfect Mustrum Ridcully, damn it!

[labradormcgraw]

Blaster Sump should have been a recurring character; gotta love Stephen Fry. 🤣

[jameshall]

I've never seen this one. I'm dying 😂

[jamsheadaziz]

End scene reminds me of the ending of carry on up the khyber, where the "devil's in skirts" raise their kilts and the pashtun tribesmen fled. 🤣🤣

0:40 just like me answering my phone 😂

[halcyon]

It's like Fry has studied Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull.

[carolinehaythornthwaite]

Must have been a fantastic trip down memory lane for some...

[marwood]

I forgot about this great little cameo! Lol.

Has anyone else who went to Charterhouse survived the sand paper?
