Stephen Fry is one of those people that really makes you want to be a better person.
Dvdsky Precisely ! Well said, you. Just found out Stephen is at the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake this summer, doing a one-man show called Mythos. Sigh..no time...no money...and apparently it's already almost sold out. Lucky Dogs. Break a leg, Stephen. Lovely to have you in Canada. 👍❤️
Shame deep down he is a pathetic prick.
He’s in the camp of intelligent people that want to raise the intelligence of those around him, not those that want to scold you for not being as smart. People like him are the ones that kids aspire to be, if they don’t want to be an athlete, Hollywood actor or the like
@@grumpy9250 the projection is strong with this one
Well said!
Stephen Fry is the only man NOT interrupted by Jeremy C.
One does not interrupt Stephen Fry :)
Someone did. Robin Williams. Hahaha
It would be rather rude
Just let the guy talk.
Clarkson was not lost for words. He was lost period.
Strange to see Fry this chubby and Clarkson this skinny in the same video
LP SP True.
I love how Stephen Fry can make even Jeremy Clarkson act slightly geeky!
Stephen Fry is our modern day Oscar Wilde.
Fry's American accent was so seamless, the way he switched between them. It sounded like my friend's dad.
Hugh Laurie is also a master of accents
I'm not saying your comment is bad, but why is it first? There are other comments with many more likes that are much farther down.
@@barsaf9989 that's how mafia works.
@@the-oncomingstorm yeah, the youtube mafia.
And your friend’s dad is from Nottingham!
Stephen Fry is so charismatic
Very much so!
Listening to Stephen Fry's English is a pleasure.
Two of our national treasures.
Yes. Stephen Fry and a London cab.
Do Britons consider Clarkson a national treasure? I googled Jeremy Clarkson + national treasure. The first result was a column by Katie Hopkins in which she referred to Clarkson as such, and the second was an article in which the expression 'national treasure' appeared with Clarkson's name, but was being used to describe a Mr Fry, S.
I guess the short of it is that if one has to ask if another is a national treasure, it's safe to say they are not.
And may
@@klaxoncow no, Mr. Fry and Clarkson
Clarkson would be an institution, rather than a treasure.
He actually was well known for his newspaper columns before he did this show.
Fry could talk about how he butters his toast in the morning, for half an hour, and it would still be utterly enthralling.
Check out his Podcast!
I love it. His voice is just... I dunno hypnotizing...
Always use these podcasts to fall asleep after nighshift 😂

What a marvellous chap, that Stephen Fry
I'm more interested in what would've happened if James May had done this interview
A complete nerd brain crash! I would’ve enjoyed that
It'll last for a whole week and I'll still be watching
@@jessejane9461 And I bet a lot of people would love to watch the whole thing, myself included!
Stephen fry is such a kind old soul. I wish him the best
I look at Stephen Fry and think: “Here is a man who is just so full of life and love.”
I never saw this interview before! Those two work(ed) well together.
Catch yourself some episodes of Jeremy's appearances on QI!
Fry seems like a pleasant gentleman.
Steven Fry is awesome
HE was awesome when he starred in the TV show ''Jeeves and Wooster'' and is awesome when he does ''IQ''
Good to see him on TOP GEAR
This is what i hear, when i imagine two gods having a conversation
prick
@@mattiemclean9882 lovely reply
I like stephen fry, about a year ago I remember this show were he had a roadtrip in amerika and he visited all the states.
He's a smart dude too
Stephen Fry and Alan Davis tied! I wish we could’ve had a tie breaker between the two.
Stephen Fry is in a couple of stuff like QI, A little bit of Fry & Laurie, the reboot of Danger Mouse and Blackadder, with Rowan Atkinson and rejoining Hugh Laurie from A little bit of Fry & Laurie. Stephen is brilliant
Love Stephen Fry at 5:00 ...his police voice is excellent!!!
I love Stephen’s American accent so much hahaha
My favorite top gear episode ever. Clarkson kicks ass and Fry is well, brilliant.
7:12 "...really interesting!"
Missed opportunity here. A tie between Stephen Fry and Alan Davies is, of course, Quite Interesting!
MY GOD THE ULTIMATE MOMENT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! Melchett and Clarkson...
Bugger me backwards with a fish fork!
Tally-ho yippy-dap and zing-zang spillip
can i just say that stephen and clarkson are very different, not saying nything bad about them, stephen is just brilliant
Stephen made this "already great" show, a awesome show!
yeah, very awesome
what a kind, gentle soul .... Sir Fry
Stephen Fry and Jeremy Clarkson - two great British characters. : )
stephen is a regency dandy no matter what age hes born in
mary canary Putting on the regency?
i so want to see Stephen Fry and James May
I love Stephen Fry, omg.
"A real pleasure, a real joy emerging there."
I LOVE STEPHEN FRY!!!
I love Stephen Fry. Such a decent guy.
When i close my eyes, this sounds like a smarter version of the same british voice talking to itself.
Stephen Fry, such a gentleman.
As someone who lives in Alabama, why would anyone want to even imagine they live in Alabama?
I guess because they've only seen the "good" parts in the media
antidrugofmusic I realize you posted this comment a long time ago, but I am giving you a YT Golden Comment Award, anyway. Well said !
Horror is romantic. WW2 looks cool from a distance too. (From Arkansas btw)
Well, my cousin is looking mighty fine
Jeremy looks really young !
Thats because its from the past, wooooooo
the tessellater 😱😂😂
That was excellent.
stephen fry, national treasure
because it is relatively in the beginning of the new Series: they started allowing more and a lot of people in the audience later...
stephen fry the philoshper, love it
Fuck everything I want to be as articulate as Stephen
I love European people. I love the accents and the way they view life. Love their humor.
I don't give a donkey's left testicle about cars, but I could listen to Stephen talk about anything the whole day.
Donkeys left testicles are hard to come by
@@yamumisgae Hitler's with you on that claim
@@yamumisgae Not in the middle-east! 10 a penny there
I swear both of them have the same voice!
Not at all
Wow, we are really gonna miss this guy when he’s gone
The British... so many words for shitty weather :)
Probably due to so much shitty weather
Oh, the irony of Prius ads on Top Gear videos.
What I find even more remarkable, is that they measure the time only to the second accurate, and not to a one hundred of a second.
@mchandler2112
I believe they're referring to the retirement of the concorde jet. Although given the jet's inefficiency, it may not be a step backward as they're suggesting.
I love this man!
Stephen voice goes high low high low high low as be speaks and Jeremy takes breaks with every comma .. these two would make a great podcast.
nice guy , some head of knowledge ,
i just love him so damn much
Norfolk County, Massachusetts, USA is also an odd county, as it has two parts not connected to the rest.
I went to school in Midhurst!
Good Point!
Looking forward to hearing his legendary voice again as the narrator of LBP2 :)
LBP2?
@@MrJimheeren There’s a video game series called LittleBigPlanet. LittleBigPlanet is commonly abbreviated as ‘LBP’.
Stephen Fry was the narrator in the video game series.
Quite interesting, Stephen Fry and Jeremy Clarkson are both listed at 6 foot 5
and now at old age they are both around 6'4.5
@chalzegro I wish, Jeremy Clarkson once said in one of his columns that it takes about 4 months to film the material, and then another few to edit and prepare it.
They are both essentially the same person.
Joshua Klynsoon For years I honestly thought they were. 😂
Thats what i tought too!
cool video
Stephen Fry is probably the only one in the world other than Clarkson who was born a middle-aged man.
@gunzkevin to answer your question "And why didn't they use tenths rather than having the possibility of multiple ties?"
because, when they brought the show back with new presenters in 2002 they introduced this stars in a reasonably priced car for the first time and didn't want to make it too competitive, so they decided not to take the time that accurate. when this feature became more and more popular in later years, they realised that it would be better to use tenths too
At 2.50 they are talking about the Concorde.
Did you paint your deck.
Its very strange seeing the Top Gear hangar empty...
He needs to be back on.
For some reason he reminds me of Graham Linehan in this interview.
And back then, Clarkson was actually quite handsome.
what time is this show on? I can never find it.
was this before or after the Quite Interesting game show?
@BenChipsy he really does, i can't beleive i have never noticed that before. stephen fry os a absolute legend.
what was the plane thing referenced?
*gives you hug from NewZealand : )
6:03 made me laugh so much!
hmm, you had me intrigued, it took quite a few listens but he says.... "motoring". "It's a real joy, a real pleasure in motoring there." he does say it quickly and shortens the vowels. m(e)rtring.
if they add one additional host to top gear this would be a top choice
@gunzkevin erm yes..this is just a tv show, and they do have tenths of seconds
Beautifully argued. That's a fine wit you have for pattern recognition. You've most perfectly defined their individual properties with an accuracy misplaced in the rest of us. It's unmistakable, they can't claim to have personalities, only your succinct and learnéd labels.
One of the greatest actor in britain history 💪💪💪😎
wow how many years ago was this? :o
stupydguy 2003, I think that's when they stopped using Concorde.
I was wondering what they referred to with having surpassed the zenith of aviation, or something to that effect...
Concorde was withdrawn from commercial service, the last flight was on October 24, 2003, so this was about a week later.
Very costly to run, but beautiful.
wow what a small crowd in the back
@chalzegro didnt the new series already start about a month ago
not many people come to the studio..
Oop, I read that as Europe, not England.
But yes, Britain is on a large island on one of the two major British Isles which, believe it or not, are two big islands.
Didn’t know general Melchet could drive 😂
Am I imagining this or at 1:18, did Stephen say he was banned? I know he got a 6 month ban for speeding in 2006 but that was years after he got a cab and I didn't even know you could get banned just from riding a bike. I wonder what he did.

@xSkullbusterx this one's from 3x02. so late 2003. :)
@MrsPan19 dawkins.
What are they referring to when they are discussing the peak of aviation? 2:52
this episode was filmed in 2003, days or weeks after the retirement of the Concorde, the only supersonic civil transportation aircraft, considered for decades a symbol of the times and of the future.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concorde
Top gear was like this when it first started, first few seasons were empty.
Moonshine made out of potatoe 🤣🤣
James may should have done this interview
@mylkTV Try doing either of thoose things at the level the professionals do. It is MUCH harder then it looks.
God Clarksons aged since these earlier 'new' Top Gear episodes!
Midhurst. Stephen Fry mentioned Midhurst. Midhurst on the map at last.
@johnccy
you obviously didnt watch until 5:06
From November 2003.
