Stephen John Fry (born 24 August 1957) is an English comedian, actor, writer, presenter and activist.
After a troubled childhood and adolescence, during which he was expelled from two schools and spent three months in prison for credit card fraud, Fry secured a place at Queens' College, Cambridge, where he studied English literature. While at university, he became involved with the Cambridge Footlights, where he met his long-time collaborator Hugh Laurie. As half of the comic double act Fry and Laurie, he co-wrote and co-starred in A Bit of Fry & Laurie and also took the role of Jeeves (with Laurie playing Wooster) in Jeeves and Wooster.
Fry's acting roles include a Golden Globe Award–nominated lead performance in the film Wilde, Melchett in the BBC television series Blackadder, the title character in the television series Kingdom, a recurring guest role as Dr Gordon Wyatt on the crime series Bones, and as Gordon Deitrich in the dystopian thriller V for Vendetta. He has also written and presented several documentary series, including the Emmy Award–winning Stephen Fry: The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive, which saw him explore his bipolar disorder, and the travel series Stephen Fry in America. He is also the long-time host of the BBC television quiz show QI.
Stephen Perry Fry (14 July 1924 – 29 June 2002) was a South African rugby union player, most often playing as a flanker. Fry played rugby for his home town of Somerset West and provincial rugby for Western Province. He won 13 caps for the South African national team (the Springboks), and captained the country in four matches against the British Lions.
Fry was born in Somerset West in South Africa in 1924. He was one of five brothers; one of whom was killed flying in the Battle of Britain. The others were, Dennis who also toured with the Springboks in 1951, Alec his twin, and Robert. Fry served South Africa during the Second World War, and on his return studied at the University of Cape Town, gaining a BSc in Engineering and qualified as an engineer. A keen sportsman, he is described as a first-class athlete and was a half-blue at the University.
Fry married Bettie, and they had two children, Juliet and Mark. He harboured ambitions to be a jazz pianist.
Stephen Hope Fry (23 May 1900 – 18 May 1979) was an English cricketer. Fry was a right-handed batsman who played primarily as a wicketkeeper.
Fry, the son of Hampshire and England legend C.B. Fry, made his first-class debut for Hampshire in 1922 against local rivals Sussex at the County Ground, Southampton. Fry played for Hampshire three times in 1922, with his third and final match coming against Surrey at The Oval.
Seven years later in 1929 Fry made his return to Hampshire, marking it with a match against Derbyshire. Fry would go onto play 26 matches spread over three County Championship matches up to 1931.
Fry could not emulate the attacking philosophies of his father in first-class cricket. In his career Fry scored 508 runs at an average of 10.58, with a single half century which yielded his highest first-class score of 78. As a wicketkeeper Fry took sixteen catches and made one stumping. His retirement from first-class cricket followed his final match of the 1931 season which came against Warwickshire. During that season Fry stood in for Lord Tennyson to captain Hampshire in a few County Championship matches, one of five captains that season.

We know Stephen Fry can be a little bit complicated in his word usage and the range of concepts and ideas he will discuss. So I thought the text and imagery would be of help. The images in the intro are the same images that are used throughout the video as help to understand topics of discussion. The intro is longer than usual, because it's a special edition, the music used in the intro is a piece called "Valkyerie" by Mr. Fry's favorite composer (as you'ill find out in this video); Richard Wagner (not Frank Wagner, thanks Noitard). No "real outro" either. Craig Ferguson & Stephen Fry in the house! enjoy!

General Melchett shares some of his wisdom en gives an insight in the life of a British general during the first world war. Behold as grand tactics unfold beneath your very own eyes and grasp you with this A-historic comedy. "He fails to understand or comprehend the basic concepts of modern trench warfare and is totally unable to come up with a new strategy that would suit it. Instead he continuously sends men to a senseless death with seemingly no tactics at all."
would you be in anyway offended if I said that you seem to me to be in every way the visible personification of absolute perfection?
