Video: Stephen Fry on the BAFTAs
This weekend Stephen Fry will host the glitzy and glamorous BAFTAs for the 10th time. It's been a busy year for him already as he got married to his partner Elliott Spencer in January.
He's been speaking to our Entertainment Correspondent Colin Paterson about his first two weeks as a husband, his controversial comments on religion, and hosting Sunday's star studded award ceremony.

Susanna Lazarus, Radio Times, 5th February 2015Stephen Fry misunderstands the nature of Christianity
There's bravery in the entertainer's imagined confrontation with God - but in describing it he shows that he misunderstands the nature of Christianity.
Giles Fraser, The Guardian, 2nd February 2015Radio Times review
Although it manages to keep the smutty/lavatorial humour to a minimum, Jack Whitehall's exuberant reaction to solving an Only Connect puzzle makes Stephen Fry smile. "You've made a happy man very old," he sighs.
Several clips in this compilation of QI highlights have an ocular theme: Phill Jupitus tries on night vision glasses, Alan Davies a peripheral vision aid and Josh Widdecombe "railway spectacles", while Jo Brand reckons her bonnet with a monocle probably belonged to an elderly Dickensian prostitute. Plus there are some terrific "liquid larks" and scientific tricks. The one involving stroking a fake hand gets Sara Pascoe very excited indeed.
Gill Crawford, Radio Times, 31st January 2015Radio Times review
If you've missed any of this series, you can catch up in one go with this compilation. Of course, those who are offended by the show's occasionally lavatorial humour should leave the room during the gags about briefcase toilets, the genitals of the beluga whale, the sex lives of ladybirds and so on.
Granted it's not been the wittiest series of QI. So for me the best bits (they're included here and still made me laugh) were the panellists' riotous attempts to rotate their right foot clockwise while drawing the figure six in the air and Stephen Fry's messy science lesson about how to make a lava lamp using effervescent hangover tablets.
