Talk:Fry and Laurie

ICL Series 39 advert

"Fry and Laurie appeared together in a promotional video for ICL to promote the Series 39 mainframes in 1984". Interesting statement, but i wonder if there's any evidence to back it up?

Having trawled the net looking for the remotest hint of such a thing, i'm inclined to think it's rubbish. Should anyone have any info to the contrary please let me know, otherwise i'll get rid of it.
