Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry, the nation's favourite polymath, reads an abridgement of the latest volume of his autobiography as this week's featured book. It picks up the story from his previous memoir Moab Is My Washpot, which is to say: out of prison and heading for Cambridge University. It's beautifully written and read (Fry is a old pro in the audiobook world), shamelessly full of famous names, and a moving reminder of how university can turn things around for some people. But then, given the level of BBC publicity Fry attracts, you probably knew all of this already.

Review: The Fry Chronicles by Stephen Fry

Simon Callow revels in a warm and finely crafted work, but longs to glimpse the real man beneath it.

While it comes across as far more scripted than Jonathan Ross's show, there's still much fun to be had from watching Brydon perform his shtick in the company of a live audience and willing celebs. Tonight's main guest is "the king of the maracas", Stephen Fry, who amiably revisits one of his better entries in the new word definitions round of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue: "Countryside, which is to kill Piers Morgan." Seasick Steve and fresh-faced stand-up Daniel Sloss also appear.

It's good to see that this chummy chat show is offering a regular slot for new young comedians. This week it's the turn of promising 20-year-old Daniel Sloss, who is sure to come armed with some good gags about the teen years he's just left behind. Seasick Steve provides the music but the main event is Stephen Fry, who is doing the rounds following the release of the latest instalment of his autobiography.
