由“英国国宝”Stephen Fry和豪斯大叔Hugh Laurie联袂演出，1986年至1995年间，在英国BBC-1台、BBC-2台合共播出四季26集。 不同于主流的情景喜剧，这个节目每集由几个独立小品构成，除了路人甲乙，Stephen和Hugh包揽了剧中的所有角色 ：德国和英国军官，情报局头头和秘书，公司合伙人，五金店老板和顾客，心理医生和病人等等。 剧情以两人的对话展开，针对某一历史事件或社会现象，或明里挞伐，或暗中嘲讽，不时拿上层社会的贵族、政要和名人开涮，时任英国首相的撒切尔夫人、约翰·梅杰亦不能幸免成为揶揄对象。 除了重口味的政治笑料，剧中也有无厘头的冷笑话，英式双关语，以及最简单的肢体滑稽剧。值得一提的是，全部四季的剧本均由Stephen和Hugh两人撰写。《纽约时报》评论道：他们挥洒文字的自如程度，连《窈窕淑女》中的希金斯教授也会嫉妒不已，他们用语言创造出一个刘易斯·卡罗尔笔下的奇幻仙境。 虽然两位主角大多只是耍耍嘴皮子，但对白尺度很大，夹杂着直白的性描述和粗俗的俚语，曾经因为出现"c-u-n-t"这个单词而惊动BBC高层。除此以外，你还可以欣赏到青涩的House大叔弹琴飙歌，以及Fry大叔雷死人不偿命的舞姿，更不乏两位大叔让人YY联翩的JQ。 总而言之，无论你是想HC两位有才的英国大叔，还是想一窥英伦社会百态，抑或只是纯粹找乐子，一点双人秀都不会让你失望。

根据世界级英裔美籍著名幽默作家P.G.Wodehouse的系列作品改编，编剧Clive Exton同时也是ITV拳头剧《大侦探波罗》(Poirot)系列的主力编剧。主演史蒂芬·弗莱(Stephen Fry)和休·劳瑞(Hugh Laurie)均为剑桥出身，与爱玛·汤普森(Emma Thompson)等当年同在剑桥Footlights表演俱乐部演出(Monty Python主要成员也出身于此)，两人均多才多艺，剑桥之后在电影、电视、广播领域长年合作。国内观众对这两位的印象可能主要来自Richard Curtis/Ben Elton编剧、罗温·艾金森(Rowan Atkinson)主演的《黑爵士》(Blackadder)系列。小说作者P.G. Wodehouse，通译沃德豪斯(1881-1975)，英国小说家和喜剧作家。以塑造“绅士中的绅士”Jeeves这一形象而闻名，1955年入美国籍。《万能管家》中的主角是迷迷糊糊的英国绅士Bertie Wooster （其实就是个250）和他的聪明机灵、花样百出的男仆Jeeves，几乎每一个故事都是由主人荒唐的行为转变成不可收拾的困境，但是最后总是由男仆出人意料的机智解决。
