BBC 100 | In Conversation with Alan Yentob: Stephen Fry at BFI & Radio Times TV Festival 2022

An extract from IN CONVERSATION WITH ALAN YENTOB: STEPHEN FRY, recorded at the BFI & Radio Times Television Festival in May 2022.
When it comes to television, it’s fair to say that Stephen Fry is a master of the medium. The writer, actor and comedian made his debut on our screens in the early 1980s and has been a fixture ever since. Thanks to his comedy partnership with Hugh Laurie, a scene-stealing turn as the barking General Melchett in Blackadder and his definitive portrayal of Bertie Wooster’s valet Jeeves, through to more recent success as the former host of QI,
Fry has become that TV rarity: a highbrow yet enormously popular personality, beloved for being both cerebral and ceaselessly entertaining. Join him and host Alan Yentob as we celebrate the talents of our wittiest, brainiest television polymath as he’s inducted into the Radio Times Hall of Fame.
Watch the full length interview on Monday 24th October on BBC4 and BBC iPlayer.

We are lucky in England to have so many National Treasures such as Stephen Fry! I used to have a 'Timeshare Apartment' at Stouts Hill, a place in Uley, Gloucestershire, that was a school that Stephen attended! It made his life a misery! There is even a book in the entrance hall about Stephen's life there. It's a castellated manor house with fabulous grounds and a lake, set in a valley. Stunningly beautiful. It was turned into timeshares years ago. In the apartment next to mine was Ted Heaths. God knows what that disgrace of a Prime Minister got up to in there! There were rumours he'd have little boys taken there in the dead of night when no one was around! How is it that ALL Tory Prime Ministers are utterly useless and a national disgrace? The place was sold a few years ago to a private buyer who has turned it into a family home. The building is incredibly beautiful inside and very ornate.
