Stephen Fry

[scotman]

I am watching QI at the moment. Does anyone else think SF is starting to put the weight back on?

[MarkRae]

> Don't you think he really should have grown out of "the cleverest boy in the sixth form" humour by now?

Is that the problem? Does his intellect make you feel inadequate...?

[vallaw]

I don't

[vallaw]

I just get fed up with his ubiquity

[sandyRoe]

I knew he is thought a bit prolix, but ubiquitous too?

[vallaw]

MarkRae, that is precisely the point. Most people with a couple of brain cells to rub together don't feel it necessary to prove it all the time.

[Hopkirk]

You don't have to watch

[The-Toff-]

most people with a couple of brain cells would not sit watching someone that they disliked.

[vallaw]

As I said - I don't watch. My problem with him is that he seems to think his intellect excuses him from complying with the mores of the society of which he is part.

[BagPussAA]

I think he is brilliant and I wish there were more people like him on TV. People who were highly intelligent and not afraid to show it. I could watch him in absolutely anything. He is doing a new show next week all about language which I will be watching avidly.

[carlton23]

I find him very interesting and informative.

[The-Toff-]

vallaw, what are you on about, get a life.

[annadomino]

I like him too, there again, I like Hugh Laurie

[askyourgran]

I thought he was looking fatter, he was on the One Show tonight. I quite like him. seems to acknowledge his faults, and it is a way to earn a living by appearing on TV can't knock that. If only Wossy would take the hint.

[scotman]

and I only asked if anyone agreed with me that he was putting on weight. I'm off to bed.

[4getmenot]

how about all those people that 'hate' use the strong word on someone that acually done bad tjings in life

[The-Toff-]

lol, goodnight scotman.

[ladybirder]

Clever? Got a good memory, don't know about clever. HE certainly thinks he is. Does anyone remember when he was somebody's Phone a Friend on Millionaire and he got it wrong? Can't remember who it was.
Used to watch him but not now and Peter Ustinov was in another lass.

[tommy-h]

Certainly different classes but I could listen to the both of them all night long.

[starone]

Considering all the times you are so quick in answering crossword puzzle clues scotman I don't think you are lacking in brain cells. In fact I reckon you could be up there with the best of them.

[Philtaz]

Totally agree BagPussAA.

He's obviously quite popular as he is on quite a lot these days. His autobiographies are superb and he pulls no punches nor hides his past.

His episode of Who Do You Think You Are? was heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.
