Just watched it, thought it was very enjoyable. but i love stephen fry anyway. this is the type of series the bbc do very well.

**** it, meant to watch this. Anyone know if there'll be a repeat?

Thought it was rather hit and miss personally. Fry is, as ever, worth a watch but the whole travelogue seemed disjointed and randomly sewn together. Picking up Sting in NY? Wtf was that about?

but i think thats the vibe, he's got stuff planned out but there'll be a few "i just happend to meet someone" (which i'm sure are planned too) moments, but thats why i like it.

Hmm I know it would have been asking alot, but the beeb could have organised things so that Fry did say 7 states a year for 6 years and 8 in the last series. As it stands its sort of "Postcards from America". Perfectly enjoyable just not likely to be memorable.

Maybe Sufjan Stevens could do the soundtrack.

Arthur Daley

This is rattling through the states at too fast a pace. Should've been stretched out to 12-15 shows. Okay he's hitting 50 states but some he's just driving straight through.

Kingmaker

Yeah- very enjoyable show, but agree with the Sting comments- totally unecessary and came across as a prat (as always)...

But Stephen Fry is always worth a look... very entertaining man

Episode 2 was on tonight (& will be repeated next Saturday). A lot of it is predictable... but not all. Put it this way: the show was preceded by a warning about some disturbing scenes, and they were not kidding. I'm not referring to Stephen trying to dance, or ride a horse. :eek:

This is still going; the most recent episode has some amazing scenery from the US Southwest, including Monument Valley and Lake Powell. Unfortunately, it also has Mr. Fry in a hot tub. :eek:
