Stephen Fry - Live at Sydney Opera House 2010 9:9

Stephen Fry demonstrates his inability to be boring in this live show from Sydney Opera House. He talks about tracing ancestry, his passion for Oscar Wilde, Evelyn Waugh and PG Wodehouse, being sent to prep school and getting into Cambridge.
Then he talks about teaching and about discovering your purpose in life followed by meeting Hugh Laurie and starting a career in writing comedy. The Q&A at the end is a brilliant discussion on the importance of Star Trek, coming out, depression and Douglas Adams.

Stephen Fry is the only thing remaining that makes me proud to be British.

@songteller I'm fairly certain Douglas Adams wrote '42' not for some particularly relevant reason but more because an individuals reason for living is entirely his own. 42 being a satire on this. Though to be fair there probably was a personal reason for Douglas Adams himself, say 42 years he'd been with his wife (this isn't true I'm just saying something along those lines).

@songteller I could be wrong, but I think he said "Rhubarb"

Wow that promise, that I'll never become anything, that's such a terrible comforting nightmare.

Now all we need is a lip reader, and we'll finally know the answer for why the answer!
