Fry&Laurie: If Rupert Murdoch hadn't been born....

Funny stuff.

In a related vein, I recommend Fry's 1997 novel Making History, which examines the counterfactual historical question of what the world would be like had Adolf Hitler never been born.

I thought Hitler was a product of the Treaty of Versailles, that is to say Wilson perhaps.

Or Hitler's banker/economist whose name escapes me.
