He has lost a lot of weight recently. (Though he tends to have done that in the past and put it on again.) Who cares what size he is? He's one of this country's greatest ambassadors as well our own cosy national treasure.

Quote: sootyj @ August 1 2009, 2:22 PM BSTThe Portrait of Lady, Jane Eyre amongst others made my A level english torturous. Why was so much 19th century literature self indulgent dreary shite.

I liked that one as well, it really got into the subject.
He should produce a whole range of documentaries. Use them in schools for history lessons. Get kids interested and engaged with the subjects.
I thought Neil Gaiman's American Gods was a bit disappointing in the end.
I have a signed copy of that I keep meaning to put on eBay.

Fry and the printing press didn't tell me anything amazingly new - some of the interviews seemed contrived and the conclusions speculative. And having previously watched his Manic Depression show, Fry's cheerful enthusiasm for the subject seemed faked. But it was watchable.
