As a British backpacker in 1998, I remember arriving in Perth and asking the guy at the Tourist Information Office, "What's the cheapest way to get to Rottnest Island?" and he replied, "Swim". That's when I knew I could move here! And I did 6 years later. 🙂
Fry is the duck's guts. He does some brilliant Aus accents. If you see his story of the pilot on the plane's p.a, you will know exactly what I mean. He's a Commonwealth treasure.
thats funny. When i lived there, if i was talking about someone to an aussie, and the aussie wanted to know what nationality the person was they'd ask "what nasho was he mate?"
Of course now he's going to have to do 'An Evening Out' in a slightly more public setting with perhaps some QR question and answers, and at least one moment where someone has to raise their voice to yell 'Oy you lot! Pipe down! Stevo's talkin' and that's with at least four to six vowel sounds in 'talking' without the slightest hint of a g. 'An Evening In With Stephen Fry' is just a five-minute video of him in a comfy chair, wearing slippers, with a nice cup of tea and a book. And otherwise blessed silence. Soft, relaxing music at the most.
Last time I saw Stephen he was complaining about how he was Jewish and a little upset about how people were treating Jews while they were committing genocide in Gaza. An uncharacteristically out of touch observation from him.
Huge fan of Stephen Fry, but he loses points for appearing on this intellectually lowbrow program. Ironically, Fry despises generic wokesterism, which makes this all the more puzzling.
I HEARD AN ACCENT LIKE STEPHEN FRY'S ACCENT ON A TRAIN FROM BRUGGE IN ABOUT 2007. HIS VOICE IS VERY DISTINCT. HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN TAKEN A WEEKEND AWAY ON A CHEAP RAIL TRIP. I NEVER WENT RO INVESTIHATE THE SOURCE.
How marvellously funny! Elite privileged Channel 10 employees who think that they are funny, feeding adulation to a tired British comedian making fun of Australians and the Perth Telethon. It is no wonder hardly any one watches The Project.
