Stephen Fry is great ;D
He's probably our best wit since Oscar Wilde. :)

He's good but not that good Rik.
No one compares to "big butch bonking" Oscar ;D

I think Stephen Fry is brilliantly witty as well.

Yeah - I have to say that I do think that our Steven is a great wit and a great comic actor :thumb:

It would have been interesting to see him work with someone like Bob Monkhouse.

He can play great serious roles as well though he was excellent in V for Vendetta, thats the sign of a good actor :)
Great film, Gary! :thumb:
Despite being the Greatest Living Briton™, Stephen Fry is also a complete tech-head and apparently can become as animated discussing Web 2.0 as he does when the subject is PG Wodehouse. Legend has it that he and Douglas Adams owned the first two Apple Macs in the UK.
Personally, I can think of no better sleb to celebrate GNU than Stephen Fry. His weekly Dork Talk section in the Guardian is pure geek and a joy to read, even if you don't care about the subject he's discussing.
I can recommend listening to his podcasts too! We even mentions web 2.0 he his most recent one!
