I liked Jeeves & Wooster (though I probably like the books a bit more), and some of the other things he's done. British humour tends to go over very well in Denmark. And as the police detective in Gosford Park. |

I have plagiarised my recent viewing of it to pretend a knowledge of the Rhinoceros Party of Canada that I don't really possess.
But I think QI is on the slide - dunno if it's the move to BBC1 or they've got a new editor - but Phil Jupitus, Sean Locke and a few others are coming across like self-obsessed bores. |

His reading of the Harry Potter books is fabulous. I have listened to the whole series twice while driving. The American version of the audio books (Fry's is UK) read by Jim Dale pales in comparison. Anybody who likes Harry Potter and listening to Audio books give Fry's read a listen.

It's a shame the only book of his that's available for the Kindle is Revenge.

I really don't think he should get special treatment only bc he's big in the biz. I hope companies help the smaller 'frys' (like this poor fellow) rather than a big one only to promote themselves...

BTW, it is not clear why Stephen Fry should have achieved this extraordinary position in public life. He should have his own chapter of the FAQ section of twitter by now.

For those still on Stephen Fry watch, he made a surprise appearance on tonight's Bones, reprising his previous role as Booth's shrink!
