- Stephen: Good old Berent's cocoa. Always there. Original or New Berent's, specially prepared for the mature citizens in your life, with nature's added store of powerful barbiturates and heroin.

  Thomas: Little hand.

- Hugh: House prices! I don't know. You practically need to take out a mortgage to buy one nowadays.

- Hugh: (Talking to a chicken he is about to slaughter) Would you rather die as part of a sketch on national television or would you rather go straight into a Tesco sandwich, unmourned and unnoticed?

- The Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy Whether intentional or not, Hugh Laurie offering to kill a live chicken in front of his diners during the "joke in the restaurant" sketch is remarkably similar the "Hitch Hiker's" scene at The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe. At said restaurant, Arthur Dent's "Dish Of The Day" asks how he may most effeciently kill himself for Arthur's dining pleasure. Both Arthur Dent and Stephen Fry ordered salads afterwards. Coincidence or not, Stephen Fry would later go on to the voice of The Book in the Hitch Hiker movie from 2005.
