*************************

British actors, comedians and writers Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry have
been friends and colleagues for many years. As the comedy team of Fry
and Laurie, they appeared in the British TV shows "A Bit of Fry and
Laurie" and "Jeeves and Wooster."

So when Laurie came to America to star as misanthropic diagnostician
Dr. Gregory House in the FOX medical drama "House," it seemed only a
matter of time before Fry followed.

And so he did, playing the character of psychiatrist Dr. Gordon Wyatt
in three 2007 episodes of a FOX drama -- only it wasn't "House," it
was the forensic procedural "Bones."

Both shows shoot on the 20th Century Fox lot (although "House" is not
a Fox Studios production, but instead comes from NBC Universal) and
currently air back-to-back on Monday night.

Both shows also have their season finales on Monday, May 19. "House's"
is a two-parter and starts on May 12.

"Yes, very strange," says Laurie of Fry's "Bones" guest shot. "Not
only on the same network, but the same lot. We were shooting 100 yards
away from each other. It was very strange."

So, how did this happen? "Bones" executive producer Hart Hanson says
that he wrote the character first then needed an actor of sufficient
presence and stature to "go toe to toe with David Boreanaz," who plays
FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth.

Already a fan of Fry's novels, Hanson says, "It was on a lark. We
thought, 'Hey, Hugh Laurie's doing a TV show, maybe Stephen Fry would
like to come over and see his friend.' In essence, that's how it
happened.

"And we checked into it, and lo and behold, he did come over."

Due in part to his busy schedule, Fry hasn't returned to "Bones."
Neither has he yet appeared on "House." But it's not like "House"
executive producer David Shore hasn't thought about it.

"'Bones' scooped us on that," says Shore. "It's one of those things
that there is so much excitement built up around it, without it even
happening, that I always want to make sure I've got the right role for
somebody before I bring them in.

"But it's doubly true with Stephen. I don't want to just do that, but
I want it to be right. And we don't have the right idea to do it yet.

"God, I hope it happens, but we've got to figure out a story that
makes it work."

Despite their different studios, there's no obvious creative reason
why "Bones" and "House" couldn't do a crossover.

They're both procedurals; they shoot close by; they're both set on the
East Coast, with "Bones" in Washington, D.C., and "House" in New
Jersey; and, at least for now (FOX announces its fall schedule next
Thursday), they air on the same night.

So, conceivably, Fry's Dr. Wyatt could somehow meet up with Laurie's
Dr. House.

"I think Hart Hanson wouldn't mind that at all," Shore says. "He does
mention that to me. It's never been seriously discussed. It's been
casually discussed. … It's complicated. It is something we can talk
about."

Says Hanson, "I can see David going, 'Oh, I don't want to get this
wrong.' It would be different having Fry and Laurie on than just
having Stephen Fry on, because we had an idea for the character first
and had to fill it.

"David would have the added pain of having both of these genius guys
having to agree with what he did. Boy, that would be tough."

Regarding a possible crossover, Hanson says, "David Shore, I love in a
manly, Viking way. He is my countryman" -- both are Canadian by birth
-- "and the best writer I know. That 'House' show, that's a damn fine
show.

"If he wanted to abscond with one of our characters, I would only take
it as a compliment."

Asked if he'd be offended if Fry appeared on "House" with no crossover
element, Hanson says, "No. I'd love that, too. That would be second
best. Then I could call David and say, 'I think we did a much, much
better job with him than you did.'"

Whether or not Fry returns to "Bones" in any capacity, Hanson and team
are getting their Brit fix.

At the end of June, stars Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel, who plays
anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan, head to England to shoot a two-
parter that Hanson says is currently planned to air in late August.

"Booth and Brennan," he says, "it's just them, get called over to take
part in, let's call it, an upstairs-downstairs case. It's going to be
really cool. We're looking at London and Oxford."

Thanks for the info. I hadn't seen anything about this before.

I think that was posted in the Soiler section on the old aby. But nice to be reminded. Thanks.
