Stephen Fry | Interview & Lap | Top Gear

[@MultiOMFG1]

Stephen Fry is one of those people that really makes you want to be a better person.

[@Canuckmom128]

Dvdsky Precisely ! Well said, you. Just found out Stephen is at the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake this summer, doing a one-man show called Mythos. Sigh..no time...no money...and apparently it's already almost sold out. Lucky Dogs. Break a leg, Stephen. Lovely to have you in Canada. 👍❤️

[@grumpy9250]

Shame deep down he is a pathetic prick.

[@formulafish1536]

He’s in the camp of intelligent people that want to raise the intelligence of those around him, not those that want to scold you for not being as smart. People like him are the ones that kids aspire to be, if they don’t want to be an athlete, Hollywood actor or the like

[@Hardysamnin]

Two of our national treasures.

[@klaxoncow]

Yes. Stephen Fry and a London cab.

[@NxDoyle]

Do Britons consider Clarkson a national treasure? I googled Jeremy Clarkson + national treasure. The first result was a column by Katie Hopkins in which she referred to Clarkson as such, and the second was an article in which the expression 'national treasure' appeared with Clarkson's name, but was being used to describe a Mr Fry, S. I guess the short of it is that if one has to ask if another is a national treasure, it's safe to say they are not.

Stephen Fry is in a couple of stuff like QI, A little bit of Fry & Laurie, the reboot of Danger Mouse and Blackadder, with Rowan Atkinson and rejoining Hugh Laurie from A little bit of Fry & Laurie. Stephen is brilliant

[@AWWEFAN99]

and now at old age they are both around 6'4.5

[@bunnybrain]

@gunzkevin to answer your question "And why didn't they use tenths rather than having the possibility of multiple ties?" because, when they brought the show back with new presenters in 2002 they introduced this stars in a reasonably priced car for the first time and didn't want to make it too competitive, so they decided not to take the time that accurate. when this feature became more and more popular in later years, they realised that it would be better to use tenths too

this episode was filmed in 2003, days or weeks after the retirement of the Concorde, the only supersonic civil transportation aircraft, considered for decades a symbol of the times and of the future. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concorde

For some reason he reminds me of Graham Linehan in this interview. And back then, Clarkson was actually quite handsome.

Beautifully argued. That's a fine wit you have for pattern recognition. You've most perfectly defined their individual properties with an accuracy misplaced in the rest of us. It's unmistakable, they can't claim to have personalities, only your succinct and learnéd labels.

[@LiesbethMicha]

I was wondering what they referred to with having surpassed the zenith of aviation, or something to that effect...

[@thetessellater9163]

Concorde was withdrawn from commercial service, the last flight was on October 24, 2003, so this was about a week later. Very costly to run, but beautiful.

[@thegeorgeshow2591]

what did they mean when they were talking about 'going OVER it in terms of aviation'

[@Jose.AFT.Saddul]

Flight times between far away cities like London and Singapore became longer. You use to be able to fly between the two in under 10 hours. Now it’s a 13 hour flight. This was mainly done to safe costs. Because the Concorde was seen as inefficient

[@thegeorgeshow2591]
