Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry's quite interesting moments

Stephen Fry has adopted many personas in his 13 years as ringmaster of Britain's most learned panel show QI. There's the stern schoolmaster. The raffish don. The avuncular uncle.

I've 'left' twitter before, of course: many people have time off from it whether they are in the public eye or not. Think of it as not much more than leaving a room. I like to believe I haven't slammed the door, much less stalked off in a huff throwing my toys out of the pram as I go or however one should phrase it. It's quite simple really: the room had started to smell. Really quite bad.

Radio Times review

Tonight Stephen Fry has to warn all four panellists to behave themselves before he has even asked the first question. This week's letter is M - so you may be able to work out why he needs to tell them to watch their mouths.

Up for a quite interesting discussion is the reason you'd spread mustard on your lawn, employment opportunities for smart monkeys and varieties of metal music (including the combination of techno and disco allegedly known as Tesco). And Fry does a magic trick involving a disappearing teaspoon that's not really a magic trick.
