A failed attempt by Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry to make a comedy show with a scientific approach. It was a mockumentary intended to spoof shows such as 'Tommorow's World' and featuring in the cast were Emma Thompson, Robbie Coltrane, Paul Shearer, Roy Heather, John Savident and Fanny Carby. The quality of the comedy was not particularly good despite the talent involved and as a result, the BBC declined to make the show into a full series, though many years later Fry and Laurie were snapped up by the BBC when they landed their own sketch show, 'A Bit Of Fry & Laurie'.
