Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry's right - self-pity is nothing to celebrate

The belief that sexual abuse is uniquely traumatising is damaging to victims.

Stephen Fry shouldn't be vilified for expressing views

Stephen Fry has recently apologised for remarks he made about the sexually abused and I am very glad he did. By the same token he's been subjected to criticism and as much as I wholeheartedly disagree with what he said, words that don't need repeating, I have to object to Paris Lees's article published in the Guardian on 12th April. As I read it I had an open mind, but her emotive use of language and her accusation that Stephen Fry is a 'bully' was unjustified. Her argument that no one would listen to what he had to say if he was 'poor' - what does that have to do with it? It's like attacking the whole establishment and she included Germaine Greer, too, for good measure. She is missing the point.

Stephen Fry apologises for child abuse comments

Stephen Fry blasted for child abuse & safe space views

Stephen Fry is lucky that he has left Twitter because there is a social media storm brewing over his latest interview in which he discusses child abuse victims and says they can have "some" of his sympathy. The QI star was criticising what he considers to be the depletion of free speech as people begin to avoid "trigger words" and try to create "safe space" to avoid controversy.

Stephen Fry to co-star in US comedy pilot

Popular British actor/comedian/writer/game show host Stephen Fry is set to co-star opposite Joel McHale in The Great Indoors, CBS' multi-camera pilot written by Mike Gibbons and directed by Andy Ackerman.

Daily Mail sparks outrage implying Fry isn't married

Eagle-eyed readers of the Daily Mail today noticed a snub directed towards Stephen Fry, in which his husband was referred to inside inverted commas.

The nation's favourite national treasure, Stephen Fry, has finally called time on QI (BBC Two).

Where would we have been without Fry's QI? The quirky quiz has been correcting our misconceptions for 13 years and over 180 episodes. How else would we have known that Darwin ate owls, the moon smells of gunpowder, Cinderella's slippers were made of squirrel fur and that Henry VIII had two wives (or four if you're Catholic)?

QI has been a pedant's paradise and has probably been the cause of more pub fights on 'quiz night' than any of the beer served. It will continue with Sandi Toksvig in the chair, but only time will tell whether the chemistry of Fry and Alan Davies will be replicated. My guess is Davies will give it a go to the end of the series and then bow out himself. Only time - and ratings - will tell.
