He's now a playwright and the film Closer was an adaptation of one of his plays.<br /> <img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/nikteacher/mw15274.jpg" alt="" /><br /> Caroline Aherne was Mrs Merton, a member of the &quot;Fast Show&quot; team and co-creator and star of &quot;The Royle Family&quot;.<br /> <img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/nikteacher/tony_hawks.gif" alt="" /><br /> Tony Hawks had a minor novelty hit in 1988 with &quot;Stutter Rap&quot;, a parody of the Beastie Boys. He also had a number of cameo appearances, including the compere in the &quot;Red Dwarf&quot; episode &quot;Better Than Life&quot; and later the voice of the talkie toaster. He is now the successful author of some highly amusing travel books: &quot;Round Ireland With A Fridge&quot;, &quot;Playing The Moldovans At Tennis&quot; and &quot;One Hit Wonderland&quot;. In the last one he tries to overcome the fact that Stutter Rap was his only hit.<br /> <img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/nikteacher/mt_jpg.jpg" alt="" /><br /> Mark Thomas...don't you remember &quot;The Mark Thomas Comedy Product&quot;? He was like an English version of Michael Moore in that, only much funnier and much more politically radical. Try and find some clips on YouTube if you can. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/saturday-live-dvd-release#post-27505 Thu, 05 Jul 2007 21:26:25 +0000 amyl_nitrate 27505@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ I thought you were talking about the other one because I didn't recognise the first few names and I didn't think Bill Bailey would have been on it. I didn't think he started back in the 80s. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/saturday-live-dvd-release#post-27385 Thu, 05 Jul 2007 09:48:54 +0000 Anonymous 27385@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ I know! I just got the title wrong. I AM talking about the British show, not the American one. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/saturday-live-dvd-release#post-27225 Wed, 04 Jul 2007 19:24:58 +0000 amyl_nitrate 27225@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ This thread's about Saturday Live not Saturday Night Live. Sorry John. Saturday Live is the British version from the late 1980s. There was also Almost Saturday Live and Friday Night Live. I've never seen Saturday Night Live so I don't know who's been on it. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/saturday-live-dvd-release#post-27211 Wed, 04 Jul 2007 19:02:50 +0000 Anonymous 27211@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Correct me if I'm wrong but I have vagure memories of seeing Patrick Marber, Mark Thomas, Caroline Aherne (as a nun) and Bill Bailey (in the RObber Bishops) on Saturday Night Live for the very first time. Wasn't Tony Hawks in it quite a bit too? http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/saturday-live-dvd-release#post-27105 Tue, 03 Jul 2007 22:37:27 +0000 amyl_nitrate 27105@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Has anyone else bought this? There's loads on it packed onto two discs. I love the style of the show, the set and the opening sesquence. It's all so 80s. &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_cool.gif&quot; title=&quot;8)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; <br /> <br /> Lots of Fry and Laurie sketches including one where Stephen and Ben Elton are dressed as nuns, one where Stephen is operating on Hugh and pulls his organs out and one at a work do which ends with Stephen and Hugh snogging and hugging and ending up on the floor. &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif&quot; title=&quot;:-D&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; <br /> <br /> Quite a few Dangerous Brothers sketches on there including Flying Zebra and Fun with Electricity! Bloody brilliant! <br /> <br /> Emma Thompson even does a bit of stand up talking about how sanitary products can be advertised on tv but you can't say what they are or what they're for. <br /> <br /> Quite a few angry poems by Craig Charles. Pretty cool.<br /> <br /> Quite a lot of other alternative including the Oblivion Boys, French and Saunders and a lot of Ben Elton's standup (*groan*). <br /> <br /> Most delightfully Peter Cook's sketches are all here including my utter utter favourite - Interesting Facts. &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif&quot; title=&quot;:-D&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif&quot; title=&quot;:-D&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif&quot; title=&quot;:-D&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/saturday-live-dvd-release#post-9764 Thu, 08 Feb 2007 18:36:03 +0000 MrMarker 9764@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ I have quite a few on ropey old VHS but from what I gather they'll be releasing them in complete seasons. The first seson each had a guest presenter, and then after that it was hosted by Ben Elton. I can't wait!!! http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/saturday-live-dvd-release#post-9761 Thu, 08 Feb 2007 17:59:33 +0000 amyl_nitrate 9761@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Oh I really hope this is true. I thought it would never happen. I've seen the odd sketch here and there, mostly Dangerous Brothers ones and would love to see more of this show. There's so many people who've worked no it that I'm a fan of and would love to see their early work. &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/saturday-live-dvd-release#post-9659 Tue, 06 Feb 2007 23:28:25 +0000 MrMarker 9659@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ I've heard that Saturday Live is finally getting a DVD release. I do hope this is true as, if memory serves, there were some cracking Fry and Laurie sketches on there.
