Is that Hugh Laurie?

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I believe so, from the Catch-22 adaptation (2019) I still need to see.

It's actually pretty good, though it really drags in places.

The beginning is glorious though.

Listen to the audiobook for it first, freaking hilarious

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Got a link to the audiobook that’s hilarious?

On audible it's just Catch 22 narrated by Trevor White. Really well done

I wasn't aware that they'd done a miniseries adaptation! Adding to my watchlist, thanks.

No it’s that doctor from what’s name

No, that's clearly Lieutenant George Colthurst serving under Captain Blackadder.

Surprisingly high resolution for such and old show, though.

Permission to shout "Bravo" at an annoyingly loud volume, sir.
