Stephen Fry and Bill Bailey in “Unfinished Business”

Stephen Fry

It just meant an expression of surprise—"Hullo, what have we got here?" "Hullo, what's this?" And we still use it in that sense.

Bill Bailey

Stephen Fry

… Don't we, Bill?

Bill Bailey

Stephen Fry

You beast, you beast, you utter, utter, beast.
