@JulkaWilCZuR The sad part is that it doesn't make the content of what is said any less shit. Oh well, life goes on.

I just love how people in this section write in a more articulate way. You have to be very careful about spelling or someone else will pick it up. :) It's a completely different world to some rap/hip hop videos. ;) haha It's rather refreshing. xP

@Lop7dh Sorry thats what i meant, its really weird, i swear i wrote shouldNT. Thumbs up for you and deletes for me.

@Elephantintheroom01 I would honestly say that it's the other way around. You should write about something that you DO have experience of, but what OTHERS don't have any experience of.
And I think I have to mention to you that Fry is nowhere near serious here, this is a joke to him.

What are you really angry about? What is your hidden axe to grind?

@Cyllid I couldn't agree more.
You notice that the people who say it doesn't matter are the ones who always get it wrong, lol
Reminds me of the great Tony Hancock in "The Blood Donor" episode. When he was chatting to another donor (Hugh Lloyd) about blood, veins and the heart, he was asked "Are you a doctor then?"
He replied: "No, I never really bothered." - Classic!
I use that all the time.
Whatever I'm no good at, I just say "I would have been the best but I didn't try,"

Amazing that even the poster of the video doesn't get Fry's point. Yes he's saying it in good humor but he does mean it. Shakespeare did write about Romans. The point is that the story isn't about the minutia of what it's like to be Roman, it's about broad themes that are universal. And the idea that people should write only what they've experienced is just plain stupid. Very few writers do that and to the degree they do they do not write fiction.

@WalterLiddy Hey, hey, hey. Don't go so black and white on me please. I never said you should write ONLY what you have experience of, but it's a good place to start, isn't it?
Davies hasn't read the book and comes with a comment like that and Fry, being an experienced comedian, catches on and makes laughs of it, and Davies catches on too, with the phrase he delivers at the end. This has nothing to do with the book itself, it's about Davies and his position on the show.

Made me laugh, but I feel it's actually not that silly of Alan to say. The best stories are always told by people who lived them first hand. Regardless, It was obviously a great book.

@The1stPoster Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Very nice comment, there is a thought behind it, there is coherency, and it makes sense. And I agree with you!
