It's not their personality.. it's the weather inside them. This man has such a gift with words.

Fair play to anyone who appears on this show, no question out of bounds would stop 99% of famous people dead the minute their agent rang them.

This young woman is a beautiful singer. ❤

The girl singing at the end moved me to tears - such a sweet, pure voice singing about the freedom to be.

I loved Jacob's question ending with "Is there anything that you wouldn't do for money?" So funny.

"my dear fellow ....." some times these wee English turns of phrase can be so perfect

Stephen's a real gent. They loved him. He was a little nervous, but his replies were just as open and frank as their questions, yet he was respectful of their point of view. He also took real care with his choice of words and way he answered.

Steven will always be in my top humans list, genuine, intellectual and kind.

Poor Stephen. He looked terrified to start with and he had every right to be, some of those questions were absolutely brutal. Hats off to him. He handled it well.

@leighgabriel6824 5 months ago

A very intelligent man interviewed by some very intelligent people.

4:33 The noise from the other interviewers when that top or bottom question was asked. PRICELESS!

What a beautiful antidote this is to the world right now!

Tomislav, that was brutal mate ;)

Fry is one of my favourite people ... absolute gem of a human

@lorettasmith9730 5 months ago

This was such an incredible interview to answer. You could tell Stephen really was being sincere and as honest as he could be with his answers and the thing that was most beautiful to watch is how much he really did appreciate them, their questions humour and talent. Very moving

He really put his heart and soul in to that poem delivery

@yvonnevanhek5199 5 months ago

Wow. Thank you for such an amazing programme. I have one of the conditions within the group and I feel so happy to see us represented. A very moving programme.

Stephen Fry is a gentleman and a national treasure. Incredible intelligent courageous man who helped a lot of people. He had to get serious for a minute about addiction, it’s no laughing matter.

@Blue-e6d 5 months ago

Stephen is such an interesting person. I am glad that he is well 🙏

The first question had me grin. Direct as can be. Totally off and inappropriate by neurotypical standards, but hey, it's refreshing in an odd and lovely way after all. Well done, Stephen. And everyone.
