Eggsnlegs420: very pleased that when i type “h” into google hugh laurie’s wiki is the first suggestionWitsi_institute: “it's a terrible thing, i think, in life to wait until you're ready. i have this feeling that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. there is …no such thing as ready. there is only now. and you may as well do it now. generally...now is as good a time as any.” hugh laurie
Ser1897: the treatment of emily, though, is ... all over the place. it's presented as a cutesy rom-com and then rachel literally travels to london to crash her wedding (hugh laurie mocks her for this, but the show still seems to sympathize with rachel).
Chhuti_is: original the night manager is so good. olivia colman & hugh laurie.
Rachelcdailey: one day i won't pronounce apologies like hugh laurie in blackadder ii, but today is not that day.
