I don't know how many times I have watched this sketch now, I have stopped counting. I can speak along to it, yet it never fails to delight me a lot. THIS is what language is for! Being creative with it, taking it to the most absurd places you could think of. And no-one can do that quite as well as, yes, you've guessed it, Stephen Fry. I think it's the fact you can hear the delight he takes in language, forming sentences etc that make it so wonderful to me. I think I might just watch it again now. And then I will start that piece about language and comedy I've been meaning to write for such a long time.
