- The Fry Chronicles Episodes 5 of 5 • Stephen Fry - The Fry ...
BBC Radio 4 - Book of the Week (Aug 2017)
This is the intriguing, hilarious and utterly compelling story of how Stephen Fry arrived at Cambridge on probation: a convicted fraudster and thief, an addict, liar, fantasist and failed suicide, convinced that at any moment he would be found out and flung away.
Instead, university life offered him love, romance and the chance to stand on stage and entertain. He began his iconic relationship with Hugh Laurie, befriended Emma Thompson among a host of household names, and emerged as one of the most promising comic talents in the country.
After leaving Cambridge Stephen began to make his presence felt as he took his first tentative steps in the world of television, journalism, radio, theatre and film. Shameful tales of sugar, shag and champagne jostle with insights into credit cards, classic cars and conspicuous consumption, Blackadder, Broadway and the BBC.
For all its trademark wit and verbal brilliance, The Fry Chronicles is a book that is not afraid to confront the aching chasm that separates public image from private feeling.
Stephen Fry has a curious encounter with Stephen Sondheim and becomes the literary critic of Tatler.
Stephen Fry reveals how a call out of the blue led to him he becoming a poster boy for, of all things, celibacy.
Stephen Fry talks about his early love of radio and his first forays into broadcasting on Radio 4.
Producer: David Roper
A Heavy Entertainment production for BBC Radio 4.

I coukd listen to Stephen Fry's intelligence, wit & self-deprecating honesty and wonderful speaking voice all day!
You can enjoy a little more - Link to episode 5 is in the description 👍🏻
With a nice cuppa tea on a Sunday afternoon listening to Stephen Fry is my idea of heaven. Thank you so much!
Stephen is one of the few people I admire.
For me it's Hitchens, Pope Francis, General Mattis, And Fry
I absolutely love Stephen Fry's narrating. :)
What a spectacular reader Stephen Fry is. Such perfect enunciation.
Crippling honest & intelligent mind.
Like P. G. Wodehouse, a good deal of Stephen Fry’s delightful appeal comes from his clever literary style. A virtuoso of the English language. Best of luck, mate 👍
Wow, Steven... If YOU feel as though you are an underachiever, how underachieving are the rest of us? Particularly since so many of us look upon your achievements with absolute awe...
Stephen Fry has a very pleasant voice. He could likely read the menu chalked on the blackboard outside my local pub and hold my attention. Thank you Stephen. I loved reading Moab is My Washpot and learned quite a bit about life.
Thank You so very much Mr Fry, This is Delightful
Genius. Loved the reading. Thank you. ❤
Love you! You incredible talented and full of flaws like all of us!
"With an addictive streak that it's taken me years to master!" Yiiiikes, don't go jinxing yourself like that Steve! @~@
- The mans love for new understanding and self-learning of all kinds
just for the beauty of discovering the life enriching fresh comprehensions within the act, (and especially) without getting all precious about it in any way is TRULY inspirational! 💖
(There's *good* reason why we all love ya, mate!)
Utterly love you!❤
00:32 Lovely shout out to Craig Ferguson. A real person with an inward light that attracts like a moth to a light bulb.
I sleep to this.
Skepsi lol. Respectfully so...
Fry is so brilliant & so tragic. Sorry he can't be happy & has to believe everyone is miserable just to try to feel somehow normal. Tragic, in one who gives so much pleasure to others, that he can't find peace. If only he had the gift of self-forgetfulness. Live for others & the misery of self-focus disappears & one finds true peace.
Thank you 🏵
awe -
I listen to your gifted story telling and delicious 😋 use of language feeling all is good in the world!
A true gem 💎
Tasty syllables properly placed with just the right inflection, is a 1 in million gift... to my very envy.
If priests sounded like Stephen Fry you might even get me to go into church on a Sunday,
I imagine his 'sermons' would be pretty memorable! 🤣
Love you darly ❤️ thanks for sharing your deepest soul 🌟🌅🌟🥰🤗
if you have to write more than one book about your life, then..I can't remember the rest of this famous quote.
You didn't die nearly as young as you thought you would.
Your skills hold no bounds why you are not knighted as a lord is beyond me!
Your Great !!!❤😊✌♋
cheers, mate
Oh. Thank you.
4:14 I say: YES.
Christ. Even in his autobiography he manages to make it all about himself.
😂😂😂

No one you care to know.
Little big planet, anyone?
Is that Sondheim's voice?
here's a thought: Steven Fry for PM ?
That's a good thought, keep thinking like this 😃👍
@@SkyEcho7 I think he'd do a great job, hugely intelligent, honest, humble, caring and able to talk to just about anyone....he'd blow Boris into the weeds.
@@iseeolly9959 That a very perfect description of Sir Stephen Fry, but I think Mr.Fry should avoid politics, the people of the world who love humour, honesty, humility, modesty shall loose in politics, a person with all these sterling qualities without doubt should not enter politics, politic is such a dangerous field that the natural ability of a entity to convey your honesty is just obscured.
I wouldn’t wish that upon him.
@@andrewt836 You're quite right.
