  • I once read someone describing Stephen Fry as a stupid person's idea of what an intellectual is. For all his wit, he can say certain things that are based entirely on his own upper middle-class ignorance.

  • @TableWolfMusic Absolutely. Fry has become a tiresome little small 'c' conservative in his later years.

    Whether Fry has used his brainpower for the best causes yet is still up for jury, but those such as Phil Jupitus who regard him as the Western World's greatest living man might be r

  • 7:50 I'm not as good looking as hugh? Stephen! You are gorgeous!

  • 6:18 True, English have no idea how to deal with someone being nice. We hate it! I can I can open a door myself THANKYOU!

  • Fry and Laurie - two depressed geniuses. I wonder how many of the Cambridge Footlights alumni fit that description.
