    Maybe Baby (2000)

    Hugh Laurie (Sam) and Joely Richardson (Lucy) star as an irresistible couple who seem to have everything – good looks, successful careers, matching motorbikes and an enthusiastic love life. The only thing they lack is the one thing that they really want – a baby. Sam sets his sights on writing a successful screenplay, a comedy about a couple trying for a baby. The only problem is that Lucy is horrified at the idea and forbids him to do it. Creative fulfillment is too much for Sam to resist and meanwhile an increasingly hormonal Lucy is distracted by the attentions of the handsome Carl Phipps (James Purefoy). Sam and Lucy’s love for one another, the most important thing they have, will now truly be put to the test …

    Saturday Live

    Saturday Live

    Saturday Live was a British television comedy and music show broadcast by Channel 4 from 1985 to 1987, and in 1988 as Friday Night Live. Influenced by the American show Saturday Night Live, it was produced by Paul Jackson.

    The series made stars of Ben Elton, Harry Enfield, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, and featured appearances by Patrick Marber, Morwenna Banks, Chris Barrie, Emo Philips, Craig Ferguson, Craig Charles and many others. The show featured comic duo Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall in their act The Dangerous Brothers.

    All episodes were transmitted live, although some material was pre-recorded. Recordings of shows were edited into compilation repeats, retitled Saturday Almost Live.

    The show was succeeded by Friday Night Live, a shorter and slightly more tightly-formatted show with Elton as the permanent host, which ran for a single series in 1988. The show’s titles consisted of reforming clay animations, highly comparable to early MTV idents.

    Ben Elton: The Man from Auntie

    Ben Elton: The Man from Auntie

    Ben Elton: The Man from Auntie was a British television comedy series written and performed by Ben Elton. The title of the series was a play on words of the American spy series The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and “Auntie”, an informal name for the BBC.

    The first series aired on BBC1 in 1990. A second series with a slightly different format was aired four years later in 1994.

    The series was primarily based around Elton’s stand-up comedy routines, with his monologues interspersed with occasional filmed sketches and parodies, as well as soundbites from chinface “potato heads”. Another regular segment were “Farties Guides” to such tasks as catching a train or setting up home—Elton described “Farties” as “you and me”—ordinary people endeavouring to make it through life despite the efforts of entities such as the “body conspiracy” and the Ministry of Crap Design.
