This is one of my all time favorite Ullman skits. The acting and writing are of the highest quality. The skit showcases Laurie’s amazing talent but Ullman’s dual take on a sidesplitting Princess Margret and Timmy’s wife are equally extraordinary.
Tracy & Hugh are absolutely brilliant! Pity we hadn't seen this before - they could easily reprise their roles and perhaps send up The Crown & current Royal household.
Comedy is squarely based in reality and it's the truth of ourselves and society that we hear. There is a 'meeting of the minds' between people who laughs together and at the same things. It's funny 'cause it's true. It used to be called the man on the street.
My goodness. In the thumbnail, with Hugh Laurie's hair slicked down like that, and the expression on his face, he looks like the male royals of the early 20th century!
I've loved Tracey forever it seems, she never disappoints. And if anyone hasn't watched every episode of House at least once do it now. I'm in love with Hugh Laurie. He's one of all too few multitalented human beings. Amazingly talented man.
Last night I saw the first release of John Oliver's Last Week Tonight on the monarchy. And today this! Absolutely brilliant! Brilliantly done Tracy Ullman and Hugh Laurie! Thank you very much for all the moments..
Let's just say I never heard of the Countess of Snowdon being accused of complaining about the liquor, unless there wasn't any nearby. HRH made Queen Cercei look like a prohibitionist.
I couldn't make out who Tracey was impersonating until she said she knew Peter Sellers. Then I saw that this dates from 1997, which confirms it's the late Princess Margaret.
Hugh Laurie is going to be voice acting the role of Maurice in "The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents" by Terry Pratchett and I can't even say how happy I am to have one of my favorite actors in an adaptation of a book by one of my favorite authors. (RIP Sir Terry).

He was in mortal danger of being typecast until he showed the extraordinary range of his talent with that bravura of an autistic (or at the least, sociopathic) Yank with an IQ of 200
I used ot think that was the queen. Now I think it's what!, princess Anne then? Margaret maybe but wnats she gone by the time this came out? Anne I guess.
@@williamjones7163 No need for apologies! Margaret was a heavy smoker nearly all her life, like her father George VI. They both died with smoking-related diseases, which just goes to show that you can have all the money in the world and still be an idiot. Greetings from across the Pond.

Hugh Laurie is the BEST!
May we share a round of applause for Hugh Laurie?
Certainly madam: applause 👏 👏🙂👏👏..
He’s the best!
Bloody brilliant in everything that he does!
He never lets us down.

I understand Margaret was just like this. I almost think people were releived when she could no longer socialize. How sad to have that as your legacy.
The cigarette holder makes it clear that the HRH is actually Princess Margaret.
Hugh Laurie - magnificent comedian as well as being a marvelous actor and musician! I still love his and Stephen Fry's Jeeves and Wooster
Me too!!!
They were meant for those roles.
Tracy & Hugh are absolutely brilliant! Pity we hadn't seen this before - they could easily reprise their roles and perhaps send up The Crown & current Royal household.

Hugh brings out his best Bertie Wooster for this part.
Hugh Laurie and Tracey Ullman...it doesn't get any better!
I almost pee my pants....so hilarious. The best comedy is Hugh Laurie and Tracy Ullman.
My goodness. In the thumbnail, with Hugh Laurie's hair slicked down like that, and the expression on his face, he looks like the male royals of the early 20th century!
4:33 Hugh Laurie has mastered the art of falling over! His little scream makes me laugh so much.

The best show. Comedy is so natural to him. His performance in A bit of Fry and Laurie outclasses most of the comedies.
I hope Princess Margaret wasn't really that horrible. Tracey and Hugh are so timeless.
She was worse.
Let's just say I never heard of the Countess of Snowdon being accused of complaining about the liquor, unless there wasn't any nearby. HRH made Queen Cercei look like a prohibitionist.
She was terrible. It was really a relief for Palace staff when she died finally.
Too funny! These actors are so great! 😁😂😂😂

Thank goodness it was not the Queen.
I guessed from the cigarette and the overbite.
@@luciechapello1008 HRH means it's not the Queen, who's HM.
@MichaelKingsfordGray Troll.
One of the best of all the Ullman skits I've seen so far.
Tracey and Hugh both brilliant there.
Spanking and Baywatch at the same time. Dry.
I was just imagining Laurie as a Vision from another part of the multiverse.
"Is there another loo?"
"Yes upstairs"
(Everyone runs out)
Superb !
One is VERY amused!
Princess Margaret - Queens sister - if you were wondering. Sad thing is, there are still people as ludicrously deferential in the UK to this day.

you just made me very happy
@@domainofthesun4400 I just read that David Tennant is going to be in it too. Be still, my heart.
@@taraxacum They should have made a gender swap reboot of Mrs Doubtfire with Tracey Ullman. She would have been brilliant in that role.
Yes!
Yes!
I can't stop lauding this is tragically funny
Absolutely great. Can't stop laughing.
I feel so very sad now. Such nostalgia.
1:01 his expression 😂😂😂
He’s brilliant.
Tracy always hilarious
Would rather Hugh play a ditty on piano, to offend HRH, than slip on floor. Next one maybe, a ditty about the last Royal visit would be hilarious.
One waits!
He was great in, "101 Dalmatians." Great comic actor.
That's the same set that Monty Python used in the death scene in "The Meaning of Life".
Arrogant royalty is no joke. Brilliantly acted, showing obsequiousness of 'social climbers'.
Watching this after the chaos of the last 18 months gave me an overwhelming sense of disgust for those using HRH 😳
It's a comedy skit. It's not based on any truth.

@@spottedgoats7048 It's funny because it's based on truth. Follow protocol, obey rules, you must please the honored guest or lose status.
🤔🤨💭 ~ I'll never forget it took Me about 4 shows to finally figure out why that taxi driver was on Her show 🚖😁❗ G-G.
Lawrie needs knighting 😂
He _deserves_ knighting.
I can't look at him anymore and not think of House.
He was in mortal danger of being typecast until he showed the extraordinary range of his talent with that bravura of an autistic (or at the least, sociopathic) Yank with an IQ of 200
the real joke is that they have been put up with like this instead of brought down as they should be. the day will come 🤣.
Did the royal assistant used to be Alistair Deacon in "As Time Goes By?"
Poor bugger
He gave his elbow a good crack there
:-)
If you stick with it, there's a big payout at the end.
Bertie is all grown up!
Hilarious.
A brilliant send up of how completely ridiculous royalty is.
Besumingly, I didn't find it asuming, if you'll... pardon the pun
The great thing about British humor is that it needn’t be funny in the least.
OldCountryman that’s what one says when they’re not smart enough to get our humour 😏
You're so right!
Is that why I found the whole thing boring and that woman just obnoxious? Yes, it makes perfect sense now. How is it humorous if it's not funny?
@@moominmay Or just not weird enough
What is House? Some kind of Sbollock?
Dr. House, one of Hugh's most famous roles
Not in front of HRH ☝🏾
If you like British humour please check
'Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em'
too.
He looks a lot like review bruh.
Everything was so brown in the seventies.
Too strictly highlarious!
I used ot think that was the queen. Now I think it's what!, princess Anne then? Margaret maybe but wnats she gone by the time this came out? Anne I guess.
who is HRH? I thought that meant a Royal Highness or something like that. Is the suppose to be the Queen? Sorry I am an American not getting this.
Princess Margaret
2 behemoth of sketches.
TIL there's such a thing as a Princess Margaret fetish
They can get away with making fun of posh putzes but I couldn’t bear to watch the whole thing
Who’d want to eat with these snooty duds.
But the Queen doesn't smoke...
But Princess Margaret did. A lot.
@@agcwoodham Margaret did smoke. I apologize. I didn't know that was not the Queen. American ignorance .
@@williamjones7163 They did look and sound similar.
@@williamjones7163 No need for apologies! Margaret was a heavy smoker nearly all her life, like her father George VI. They both died with smoking-related diseases, which just goes to show that you can have all the money in the world and still be an idiot. Greetings from across the Pond.
Not only does she not smoke, (HM, as opposed to HRH) but she is socially ept and not particularly difficult to please
Funny! BTW royalty is bogus an Harry figured it out years ago .... intelligent.
lol. destroyed their house and finance a to bore them over tea? lol
LOL. Dreadful.
When Lizzie is a Karen.
How I hate that sexist term. Can’t you come up with something clever and inventive?
PS This is Princess Margaret.
Lizzie? No. Wrong sister.
@@Celisar1 It's a Dick move, calling Karen a sexist term. :)
Yes. Royalty is most interesting to watch but not to be in the company of. Utterly boring and too much of a strain on the guests.
Very well performed, shame it’s so bloody long and unfunny….
I remember finding this long too, now I relish every moment of it and wish it kept going. It seems to be an acquired taste.
Is it comedy? I thought it was a documentary ;)
Yep.. that is about how I perceived the late HRH -- pompous and rude.. Chuck won't be much improvement I fear. 👹🦨
