Fry's English Delight with Stephen Fry

fry's

Fry’s English Delight can be heard again on Sundays starting 1st February at 1.30pm on BBC Radio 4 and each episode can be heard for a week after broadcast here. It’s soon to be available as CD and download, and expect to hear a new series in early summer. These are playfully informative programmes aimed at broadening knowledge and occasionally venturing into some contentious areas. Is English inherently metaphorical because of its marine heritage? What happens when you accept the invitation on a white van suggesting you ask the driver for a quotation? Why is this reference to canine reproductive equipment a self cancelling cliché that hasn’t survived as long as “The Cat’s Pyjamas”? Listen here. More Fry news on In Production page.

 

 

The Music Group

The Music GroupBack April 14th 2009 1.30pm

Each week comedian, broadcaster and GP Dr Phil Hammond asks three guests to play the track of their choice for the delight, disdain, disinterest or otherwise of the others. Perhaps it was the soundtrack to a momentous time; perhaps it's a personal confession of a guilty pleasure. But how will the other two guests react? Love it or loathe it, guests’ reactions will be based on the chooser as well as the choice. There’s a special recording of the show at the Brighton Festival on 5th May at the Old Courtroom at 7pm. For tickets contact the Festival at BrightonFestival.org.
