Putting emotions into words, without betraying (or belittling) the emotion, is something very few people manage to do. Stephen Fry is one of the very few. Thank goodness for this man of thought, of inquisitive mind, his depth of feeling, the precision of his communication and the intellectual curiosity that has lead him to becoming a luminary. Again, one of the very few.

The first book is only there to underscore the beginning of such follies which is lost on a lot of readers - who view this element of the Heroes Journey as intended - without considering the repercussions of such events which follow in the next novel. In this case - 'Yes you have your Messianic figure - and he proceeds to commit genocide on levels unseen in twenty-thousand years of "human history". The succeeding books are of his son Leto setting the stage of "deconditioning" humanity of such notions by literally taking over reality by becoming the ultimate tyrant for the sole purpose to inoculate "humanity" from ever succumbing to such depredations ever.

He has such an awesome voice , & he’s had some really cool roles in cinema really showing off his skills in both voice work & acting ! Really , really interesting man. Also , it’s a major testament too him as a person….. when you take into consideration ALL the worlds top scientists, are all absolutely obsessed with him.

Who doesn’t love Stephen Fry? British national treasure. His interviews and discussions are never boring. He really has a talent for keeping the viewer engaged in the conversation.

At one of his book signings I was thrilled to be able to tell Stephen Fry that I'd read The Ode Less Travelled and used it to write a poem, which I'd then sold as the text of a children's picture book. "Oh, that's fantastic!" thundered Fry joyously. "What rhyming scheme did you use?" Of course. my mind then went totally blank and I couldn't remember. (It was ABCB, incidentally, and the picture book is The Burp That Saved the World.)

I thought I knew all this but I'm surprised to find that, listening to these discussion now, enlightens me anew about myself, my life and how my character has been formed by my childhood environment and those I grew up alongside. I'm old and I know a little Freudian theory of how character is formed but, for some reason, that knowledge is suddenly illuminated in a different way and I can clearly see events and even incidents and people that have shaped my perspective and attitudes over the decades. I think I've been looking in the wrong direction all my life. Pity I didn't watch this 70 years ago! However, if I had, I probably wouldn't be sitting here now watching it.

It's funny, I've been saying for years that I would listen to Stephen Fry read the phonebook, and that is the sole reason I listened to the Harry Potter audiobooks.

One of my favorite Stephen Fry quotes: "I will be inebriated with the exuberance of my own verbosity".
