What an outstanding interview with three outstanding people! I’m on my 5th round of bingeing the entire series of “Downton Abbey” ! Serious addiction! Everything about it is incredible! Confession: I took a short break from the series to watch the 2 movies! 😄 Only twice ... so far.
He'd be wasted doing a talkshow. Would probably get bored. He's beyond genius. He could do anything he turned his hand to. Including Blackadder. Any excuse to include this greatness: ruclips.net/video/df2hO0rhX6o/видео.html
Mcgovern, Giamatti and McLaine gave a display of educated, appealing American accent in this series, proving that American accent in English can be as good as any and establishing a good contrast.... greetings from Havana Cuba.
I love how Stephen starts with Richard Dawkins' definition of Meme (he's the one who actually invented them hilariously enough) then works his way down to what most people know it to mean nowadays lol. He's such a wonderful nerd. Though I guess I'm also a big nerd for knowing exactly what he's talking about without it having to be explained lol.
Stephen Fry is asked what a Meme is...and goes into the history of meme's, a quick technical description of GIF files, and how they have evolved since the initial coining of the term by Richard Dawkins
Michelle did a perfect american accent when she played a shocking drug addict bad girl in a short-run u.s. series. She was fascinating. Girl has range. Very far from Lady Mary.
I, very unexpectedly, came face-to-face with the Princess Royal! I couldn’t think of anything else to do but pop a curtesy! How often does an American tourist have to make that split second decision!?! In the Buckingham Palace inner courtyard, no less!
@Silver Fox Sure, but I would tend to show the respectful greeting for any country's tradition (be it a bow, a handshake, a curtsy...) any civil show of respect. It doesn't take away that I am Canadian, nor remove my Canadian values.
I've always wanted to say this long winded thing I'm about to but I must preface by saying I am not an anglophile but I don't like anything to speak of from my own country so I'm a big UK entertainment fan, period pieces being my choice 99.99% of the time. So, I was a little disappointed they had a regular American on Downton. UNTIL I got to know the character Miss McGovern plays. She's so perfect, I love her. But I can't think of another American whom I'd really like for this part, as many good actresses as there are here. McGovern has a sort of sweetness about her. Real or not, it comes across great on screen and she's SO not full of herself. AND, as an added bonus, not recommended, she's stunning.
Tentaram fazer de Elizabeth McGovern uma nova Brooke Shields quando ela surgiu no início dos anos oitenta, mas Elizabeth ao contrário de Brooke não conseguiu ir tão longe.
I wish they had let Elizabeth McGovern keep more of her American accent in Downton. I get that she was 'American Money' who had lived amongst the Engish aristocracy. I just feel that her accent in Downton was alwas a little jarring and never quite right. It's the only real 'flaw' I've found in the show.
Listen, the time has come. The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news.Mark 1:15 Please think about it. Believe in God's son Jesus today, repent/believe, he died for you. Believe before the rapture. Love
The show was incredible! The movie...whoever did the hideos makeup and the awful lighting should never work in the industry again. The foundations looked like they were caked on with a trowel and because of the lighting you can see how different the color of the foundation was and the actor's skin. It often varied between master shots and close-ups. What a ruin.

Steve Fries is a walking dictionary! He is A national treasure!! love him x
“Steve Fries”? He’s not a plural. He is and always has been singular.
I'm an American and I heard Queen Mary had some sticky fingers
Walking encyclopedia you mean?
Steven Fry FFS!!!!
@@kaylaireland3494Stephen ffs
He's able to use "meme" and "zeitgeist" in the same sentence. Well done.
More importantly, his definition excludes almost all memes
What is zeitgeist
and inaccurate... That's not what a Zeitgeist is
Elizabeth McGovern is such a stunning woman.
Stephen Fry needs his own talk show. He is just well that keeps giving.
I would watch every episode of that show.
He has a docu-series which you can find here on YT.
He had one: QI. He quit.
He has great podcasts..
He'd be wasted doing a talkshow. Would probably get bored. He's beyond genius. He could do anything he turned his hand to. Including Blackadder. Any excuse to include this greatness: ruclips.net/video/df2hO0rhX6o/видео.html

In other words they displayed the accent of the upper crust of East Coast American society at the time.
This is such a fun and lively interview...love Lady Mary and Lady Grantham!
I love these ladies and Downton Abbey!
2:11 Stephen mentions the stealing from the servants storyline before the movie was even out
The funny thing is it was their reaction that was the spoiler, not Stephen Fry’s comment.
This is from the first film.
@@forgeustiss6667 I know I’m pointing out what he says,
I love all these 3 actors on that sofa.
I love how Stephen starts with Richard Dawkins' definition of Meme (he's the one who actually invented them hilariously enough) then works his way down to what most people know it to mean nowadays lol.

I love Downton Abbey and just canme back from the film and love it.
The only thing that would have made this meme conversation better is the presence of Miriam Margolyes.
Oh please God no! Ghastly woman!
What is it about Stephen Fry that he is universally liked. I think it has a lot to do with his voice…
Stephen Fry just effortlessly slipping into a perfect impression of the Prince of Wales.
i really love everything that Michelle wears in this show, the necklace the tux like jacket. gorgeous
I love Elizabeth so much!
I'm pumped for Friday. YAY!!!!!!
In answer, Jonathan, YES, there will be another Downton movie!!
And I hear they are talking about another one since this one was better than the last.
Beautiful ladies and love Downton abbey xx
I thought they were talking about the new movie until she started talking about the King and Queen
So did I lol
Steven Fry could read the phone book and be entertaining.
Love Downton!! Can’t wait to see the new movie!
I love Stephen Fry!❤
why are they releasing the interview for the first movie day ahead of the second movie coming out? weird
Marketing for the new trending movie with guests. Even if out of date.
It's content, that's all.
ya. You need to look for "Original Broadcast Date" to know when the content is actually from. Sometimes this way of doing things stinks.
Stephen Fry is asked what a Meme is...and goes into the history of meme's, a quick technical description of GIF files, and how they have evolved since the initial coining of the term by Richard Dawkins
I love the characters Mawy and Cowa Cwawly
Maggie Smith bless her, rip dear lady
I'm surprised they didn't mention Elizabeth McGovern's band Sadie and the Hotheads. Or maybe they did in another segment.
Theyre talking about the previous movie not the new one. Odd that a clip years old should be posted.
I loved it when he hated dancing. It was actually a really interesting comment
Dude that stephen fry guy ought to start a sketch comedy show with a fellow British actor, say, Hugh Laurie?
Does anybody know the link to her playlist i want it :")
Michelle did a perfect american accent when she played a shocking drug addict bad girl in a short-run u.s. series. She was fascinating. Girl has range. Very far from Lady Mary.
I'll have to find the series, but I loved Michelle in Godless, a Netflix miniseries. ... PEACE.
She was also great in Defending Jacobs, perfect American accent and performance and far from Mary
They're gorgeous
I, very unexpectedly, came face-to-face with the Princess Royal! I couldn’t think of anything else to do but pop a curtesy! How often does an American tourist have to make that split second decision!?! In the Buckingham Palace inner courtyard, no less!
I remember seeing Stephen Fry at James Randi talks. The Amazing Randi (RIP). This is great though...Elizabeth and Michelle are world class talents.
Such nice interesting people!!
Might give that show a try
Funny thing about the bowing. We don't bow in Canada either but in respect to another countries culture, of course I'd bow.
@Silver Fox Sure, but I would tend to show the respectful greeting for any country's tradition (be it a bow, a handshake, a curtsy...) any civil show of respect. It doesn't take away that I am Canadian, nor remove my Canadian values.
I love Stephen unknowingly sharing spoilers
I love Stephen
Michelle will always be Lady Mary for me.
Steven Fry is AWESOME!!!!!
yes, it's well known that she knicked things.
It sounds like she commandeered items in plain view, openly. Who’s going to tell Queen Mary no? 🇺🇸🇬🇧⭐️💙⭐️
Queen Mary was interested in returning items that had once been a part of the Royal Collection. She would pay for them, if needed. She was not a thief

Top!
There's no typecasting for Michelle Dockery. Watching her in Good Behaviour and Godless is a must.
Poor Stephen trying to use technical definitions of meme in theory that don't actually explain what it IS in reality
oh...Johnston, please just be quiet and stop interrupting your guests !!!
"Not a fan?" I didn't even understand the Prince Charles story, and Stephen Fry seemed a bit embarrassed about it.
Tentaram fazer de Elizabeth McGovern uma nova Brooke Shields quando ela surgiu no início dos anos oitenta, mas Elizabeth ao contrário de Brooke não conseguiu ir tão longe.
Good grief not knowing who the King was in 1927. I thought everyone knew about Queen Mary. In her later years.
This is an old interview, why is this recommended to me now?
They used to show Jonathan Ross in America, nobody knew what language he was speaking so he didn't make it. I thought he was dead.
♥️♥️♥️😂
honestly the prince charles story was the least interesting thing about this video
Stephen Fry Channeling The Dowager Duchess.
Can you imagine Meghan Markle in downtown Abbey 😂😂
I wish they had let Elizabeth McGovern keep more of her American accent in Downton. I get that she was 'American Money' who had lived amongst the Engish aristocracy. I just feel that her accent in Downton was alwas a little jarring and never quite right. It's the only real 'flaw' I've found in the show.
British late night show hosts are SO much more funny than American ones.
Sorry to have to correct you, Stephen, but it's pronounced "jiff" (soft g).
Actually, I did know Queen Mary existed and that she stole stuff. So there.
Very funny
Pronounced GIF VS "JIF"?
Stephen is the VERY BEST ARE NONE...
Snow White meets the prince :D
Listen, the time has come. The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news.Mark 1:15 Please think about it. Believe in God's son Jesus today, repent/believe, he died for you. Believe before the rapture. Love
Ah The mother daughter duo. One American another British

Charles the Dolt Royale?
Sitting so close on the tiny sofa is creepy and annoying
