1982 There's Nothing To Worry About! tennis sketch with Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry & Emma Thompson

funny sketch which i found recently

[@inberala]

Emma looks so lovely:)

[@amsuom]

I believe this is from 1982 and from the show "There's Nothing to Worry About". The actors are Paul Shearer, Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry. Paul Shearer was replaced by Robbie Coltrane at some point, so this must be one of the earlier shows. The sketch was probably written by Fry & Laurie, as the characters Alan and Bernard already featured in their Footlights comedy, and would later appear as Gordon and Stewart in A Bit of Fry and Laurie".

[@denis.kovalev]

Who else watched this after reading The Fry's Chronicles?))

[@EddieGaster]

There's Nothing to Worry About were a series of three pilot episodes in 1982 that led to Alfresco a year later with pretty much the same cast except Paul Shearer was replaced with Robbie Coltrane.
