简介:由“英国国宝”Stephen Fry和豪斯大叔Hugh Laurie联袂演出,1986年至1995年间,在英国BBC-1台、BBC-2台合共播出四季26集。 不同于主流的情景喜剧,这个节目每集由几个独立小品构成,除了路人甲乙,Stephen和Hugh包揽了剧中的所有角色 :德国和英国军官,情报局头头和秘书,公司合伙人,五金店老板和顾客,心理医生和病人等等。 剧情以两人的对话展开,针对某一历史事件或社会现象,或明里挞伐,或暗中嘲讽,不时拿上层社会的贵族、政要和名人开涮,时任英国首相的撒切尔夫人、约翰·梅杰亦不能幸免成为揶揄对象。 除了重口味的政治笑料,剧中也有无厘头的冷笑话,英式双关语,以及最简单的肢体滑稽剧。值得一提的是,全部四季的剧本均由Stephen和Hugh两人撰写。《纽约时报》评论道:他们挥洒文字的自如程度,连《窈窕淑女》中的希金斯教授也会嫉妒不已,他们用语言创造出一个刘易斯·卡罗尔笔下的奇幻仙境。 虽然两位主角大多只是耍耍嘴皮子,但对白尺度很大,夹杂着直白的性描述和粗俗的俚语,曾经因为出现"c-u-n-t"这个单词而惊动BBC高层。除此以外,你还可以欣赏到青涩的House大叔弹琴飙歌,以及Fry大叔雷死人不偿命的舞姿,更不乏两位大叔让人YY联翩的JQ。 总而言之,无论你是想HC两位有才的英国大叔,还是想一窥英伦社会百态,抑或只是纯粹找乐子,一点双人秀都不会让你失望。

简介:BBC Two announces that shooting has begun on series two of detective comedy Vexed, starring Toby Stephens (Jane Eyre, Robin Hood, Cambridge Spies) who reprises his role as D.I. Jack Armstrong, paired with Miranda Raison (Spooks, Merlin, Married Single Other) who plays newly promoted D.I. Georgina Dixon. Vexed is being filmed in Dublin, Eire, and comprises six 60-minute episodes to air later this year. The series is created by Howard Overman (Misfits) with episodes written by Chris Bucknall, James Wood, Steve Coombes and Harry & Jack Williams. Also returning from series one are Roger Griffiths (Holby City, Chef) and Ronny Jhutti (Survivors, Ideal) with Nick Dunning (The Iron Lady, The Tudors) joining to play Georgina’s father. D.I. Jack Armstrong (Stephens) has a new partner in the shape of D.I. Georgina Dixon (Raison). Armstrong is charming, disorganised and prone to laziness so it comes as no surprise that sparks fly when he’s partnered with the ambitious and highly efficient Dixon. Jack’s best friend, café-owner and ex-cop Tony (Griffiths) and colleague Naz (Jhutti) complete the crime solving team. Episode one sees the duo tackle the murder of a cocky car salesman, but things are not quite as they seem. Chris Sussman, Executive Producer for the BBC, says: "We’re very much looking forward to the return of Vexed. The second series promises to be just as much fun as the first, and with Miranda Raison joining Toby Stephens as new partner D.I. Dixon, we’re hoping it’s going to be all guns blazing." Jill Green, Executive Producer, Eleventh Hour Films, adds: “In a recession we need shows that make us laugh, and that’s where Vexed fits in - a perfectly distinctive ‘yin yang’ take on modern day life.” Vexed has been commissioned by Cheryl Taylor, Controller of Comedy Commissioning and Janice Hadlow, Controller of BBC Two. It is an Eleventh Hour Films production, executive producers are Chris Sussman for the BBC and Jill Green for Eleventh Hour Films. Produced by Eve Gutierrez for Eleventh Hour Films and Directed by Ian FitzGibbon (eps 1-3) and Kieron J. Walsh (eps 4-6).

导演:SophieFiennes
简介:This electrifying journey through the public and private worlds of pop culture mega-icon Grace Jones contrasts musical sequences with intimate personal footage, all the while brimming with Jones’s bold aesthetic. A larger-than-life entertainer, an androgynous glam-pop diva, an unpredictable media presence – Grace Jones is all these things and more. Sophie Fiennes’s documentary goes beyond the traditional music biography, offering a portrait as stylish and unconventional as its subject. Taking us home with her to Jamaica, into the studio with long-time collaborators Sly & Robbie, and backstage at gigs around the world, the film reveals Jones as lover, daughter, mother, and businesswoman. But the stage is the fixed point to which the film returns, with eye-popping performances of "Slave to the Rhythm," “Pull Up to the Bumper,” "Love is the Drug," and more. Jones herself has said watching the film “will be like seeing me almost naked” and, indeed, Fiennes’s treatment is every bit as definition-defying as its subject, untamed by either age or life itself.
