This old Fry and Laurie sketch is going viral because it basically sums up Brexit

This old Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry sketch from their BBC2 series, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, has belatedly been going viral because it basically sums up Brexit.

It’s called ‘A Good Deal for Britain’ and as Times columnist Caitlin Moran pointed out on Twitter, it’s the news right now, boiled down into a two and a half minute sketch.

Have a watch for yourself and see what you think.

So ahead of their time, that pair.
