Piano Masterclass with Fry & Laurie

If there is one thing we love, it's British Comedy and it doesn't get much better than A Bit of Fry & Laurie, the brilliant pairing of Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie (aka Dr. House before the American accent). In fact, we can't think of anyone we adore more at the moment than Stephen Fry and could talk about him forever. North American audiences will know him best from his title role as Oscar Wilde in the film Wilde (in which a then-unknown Jude Law played his lover) ,the detective in Robert Altman's Gosford Park, Jeeves in Jeeves & Wooster and the writer/presenter of the fascinating documentary Stephen Fry in America, the last two of which can be seen here on PBS. We promise lots more on musically related Britcom material, especially where he's concerned! Not to mention the novels, the non-fiction, the panel show QI, oh, we could go on for hours, really....



Okay, just one more luvvie moment for Stephen Fry, we promise (for now!). Just last night the author/actor/comedian/director/quiz host/documentarist/general brilliant Renaissance man received Special Recognition Award at the National TV Awards. The tribute reel and acceptance speech were just lovely and Stephen was - as always -  seemingly abashed and genuinely modest and touched by the honour. And Stephen took a hiatus from his self imposed moratorium on Twitter (on which he has more than a million followers) to thank everyone. He had announced after the New Year he was taking a break from Twitter and his blog to concentrate on writing the second installment of his autobiography, to follow Moab Is My Washpot. All in all, a well-deserved, honour, Mr. Fry!
