Dvdsky Precisely ! Well said, you. Just found out Stephen is at the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake this summer, doing a one-man show called Mythos. Sigh..no time...no money...and apparently it's already almost sold out. Lucky Dogs. Break a leg, Stephen. Lovely to have you in Canada. 👍❤️
He’s in the camp of intelligent people that want to raise the intelligence of those around him, not those that want to scold you for not being as smart. People like him are the ones that kids aspire to be, if they don’t want to be an athlete, Hollywood actor or the like
Do Britons consider Clarkson a national treasure? I googled Jeremy Clarkson + national treasure. The first result was a column by Katie Hopkins in which she referred to Clarkson as such, and the second was an article in which the expression 'national treasure' appeared with Clarkson's name, but was being used to describe a Mr Fry, S. I guess the short of it is that if one has to ask if another is a national treasure, it's safe to say they are not.
Check out his Podcast! I love it. His voice is just... I dunno hypnotizing... Always use these podcasts to fall asleep after nighshift 😂 play.acast.com/s/greatleapyears
Steven Fry is awesome HE was awesome when he starred in the TV show ''Jeeves and Wooster'' and is awesome when he does ''IQ'' Good to see him on TOP GEAR
Stephen Fry is in a couple of stuff like QI, A little bit of Fry & Laurie, the reboot of Danger Mouse and Blackadder, with Rowan Atkinson and rejoining Hugh Laurie from A little bit of Fry & Laurie. Stephen is brilliant
@gunzkevin to answer your question "And why didn't they use tenths rather than having the possibility of multiple ties?" because, when they brought the show back with new presenters in 2002 they introduced this stars in a reasonably priced car for the first time and didn't want to make it too competitive, so they decided not to take the time that accurate. when this feature became more and more popular in later years, they realised that it would be better to use tenths too
@@MrJimheeren There’s a video game series called LittleBigPlanet. LittleBigPlanet is commonly abbreviated as ‘LBP’. Stephen Fry was the narrator in the video game series.
@mchandler2112 I believe they're referring to the retirement of the concorde jet. Although given the jet's inefficiency, it may not be a step backward as they're suggesting.
@RasterGraph you are actually confirming the stereotype of youtube commenters right now. take a step back and look at this situation.. he looks down on youtube commenters for always reacting with caps lock and insults. and you say you think that is bullshit, and then you do exactly what he's talking about.... your stupidity amazes me. it's incredible. really, this is special. i think we just witnessed something amazing. thank you.
Am I imagining this or at 1:18, did Stephen say he was banned? I know he got a 6 month ban for speeding in 2006 but that was years after he got a cab and I didn't even know you could get banned just from riding a bike. I wonder what he did. Kayleigh
this episode was filmed in 2003, days or weeks after the retirement of the Concorde, the only supersonic civil transportation aircraft, considered for decades a symbol of the times and of the future. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concorde
@chalzegro I wish, Jeremy Clarkson once said in one of his columns that it takes about 4 months to film the material, and then another few to edit and prepare it.
Concorde was withdrawn from commercial service, the last flight was on October 24, 2003, so this was about a week later. Very costly to run, but beautiful.
Oop, I read that as Europe, not England. But yes, Britain is on a large island on one of the two major British Isles which, believe it or not, are two big islands.
hmm, you had me intrigued, it took quite a few listens but he says.... "motoring". "It's a real joy, a real pleasure in motoring there." he does say it quickly and shortens the vowels. m(e)rtring.
Flight times between far away cities like London and Singapore became longer. You use to be able to fly between the two in under 10 hours. Now it’s a 13 hour flight. This was mainly done to safe costs. Because the Concorde was seen as inefficient
Never would have imagined myself using a word like "bespeak", although I know it exists, having come across 'bespoke' on multiple occasions. Also "tweedy"...
Stephen Fry is one of those people that really makes you want to be a better person.

Well said!
Stephen Fry is the only man NOT interrupted by Jeremy C.
One does not interrupt Stephen Fry :)
Someone did. Robin Williams. Hahaha
It would be rather rude
Just let the guy talk.
Clarkson was not lost for words. He was lost period.
Strange to see Fry this chubby and Clarkson this skinny in the same video
LP SP True.
Fry's American accent was so seamless, the way he switched between them. It sounded like my friend's dad.
Hugh Laurie is also a master of accents
I'm not saying your comment is bad, but why is it first? There are other comments with many more likes that are much farther down.

@@klaxoncow no, Mr. Fry and Clarkson
Clarkson would be an institution, rather than a treasure.
He actually was well known for his newspaper columns before he did this show.
Stephen Fry is so charismatic
Very much so!
Listening to Stephen Fry's English is a pleasure.
Fry could talk about how he butters his toast in the morning, for half an hour, and it would still be utterly enthralling.
Check out his Podcast!

I look at Stephen Fry and think: “Here is a man who is just so full of life and love.”
What a marvellous chap, that Stephen Fry
Stephen fry is such a kind old soul. I wish him the best
I'm more interested in what would've happened if James May had done this interview
A complete nerd brain crash! I would’ve enjoyed that
It'll last for a whole week and I'll still be watching
@@jessejane9461 And I bet a lot of people would love to watch the whole thing, myself included!
Steven Fry is awesome

Good to see him on TOP GEAR
I like stephen fry, about a year ago I remember this show were he had a roadtrip in amerika and he visited all the states.
He's a smart dude too
This is what i hear, when i imagine two gods having a conversation
prick
@@mattiemclean9882 lovely reply
what a kind, gentle soul .... Sir Fry
Fry seems like a pleasant gentleman.
Stephen Fry and Alan Davis tied! I wish we could’ve had a tie breaker between the two.

I never saw this interview before! Those two work(ed) well together.
Catch yourself some episodes of Jeremy's appearances on QI!
My favorite top gear episode ever. Clarkson kicks ass and Fry is well, brilliant.
can i just say that stephen and clarkson are very different, not saying nything bad about them, stephen is just brilliant
As someone who lives in Alabama, why would anyone want to even imagine they live in Alabama?

Stephen made this "already great" show, a awesome show!
yeah, very awesome
Stephen Fry and Jeremy Clarkson - two great British characters. : )

7:12 "...really interesting!"
Missed opportunity here. A tie between Stephen Fry and Alan Davies is, of course, Quite Interesting!
When i close my eyes, this sounds like a smarter version of the same british voice talking to itself.
Jeremy looks really young !
Thats because its from the past, wooooooo
the tessellater 😱😂😂
I love Stephen Fry. Such a decent guy.
I love European people. I love the accents and the way they view life. Love their humor.
Stephen Fry, such a gentleman.
"A real pleasure, a real joy emerging there."
i so want to see Stephen Fry and James May
Wow, we are really gonna miss this guy when he’s gone
I love Stephen Fry, omg.
because it is relatively in the beginning of the new Series: they started allowing more and a lot of people in the audience later...
They are both essentially the same person.
Joshua Klynsoon For years I honestly thought they were. 😂
Thats what i tought too!
Stephen Fry is probably the only one in the world other than Clarkson who was born a middle-aged man.
Stephen voice goes high low high low high low as be speaks and Jeremy takes breaks with every comma .. these two would make a great podcast.
Fuck everything I want to be as articulate as Stephen
I swear both of them have the same voice!
Not at all
I LOVE STEPHEN FRY!!!
Oh, the irony of Prius ads on Top Gear videos.
@gunzkevin to answer your question "And why didn't they use tenths rather than having the possibility of multiple ties?"

Quite interesting, Stephen Fry and Jeremy Clarkson are both listed at 6 foot 5
and now at old age they are both around 6'4.5
stephen fry, national treasure
stephen fry the philoshper, love it
What I find even more remarkable, is that they measure the time only to the second accurate, and not to a one hundred of a second.
Looking forward to hearing his legendary voice again as the narrator of LBP2 :)
LBP2?
@@MrJimheeren There’s a video game series called LittleBigPlanet. LittleBigPlanet is commonly abbreviated as ‘LBP’.
Stephen Fry was the narrator in the video game series.
The British... so many words for shitty weather :)
Probably due to so much shitty weather
Midhurst. Stephen Fry mentioned Midhurst. Midhurst on the map at last.
Its very strange seeing the Top Gear hangar empty...
One of the greatest actor in britain history 💪💪💪😎
nice guy , some head of knowledge ,

I believe they're referring to the retirement of the concorde jet. Although given the jet's inefficiency, it may not be a step backward as they're suggesting.
For some reason he reminds me of Graham Linehan in this interview.
And back then, Clarkson was actually quite handsome.
That was excellent.

He needs to be back on.
What are they referring to when they are discussing the peak of aviation? 2:52
this episode was filmed in 2003, days or weeks after the retirement of the Concorde, the only supersonic civil transportation aircraft, considered for decades a symbol of the times and of the future.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concorde
not many people come to the studio..
@chalzegro I wish, Jeremy Clarkson once said in one of his columns that it takes about 4 months to film the material, and then another few to edit and prepare it.
At 2.50 they are talking about the Concorde.
Norfolk County, Massachusetts, USA is also an odd county, as it has two parts not connected to the rest.
wow how many years ago was this? :o
stupydguy 2003, I think that's when they stopped using Concorde.
I was wondering what they referred to with having surpassed the zenith of aviation, or something to that effect...
Concorde was withdrawn from commercial service, the last flight was on October 24, 2003, so this was about a week later.
Very costly to run, but beautiful.
was this before or after the Quite Interesting game show?
Some people don't like Stephen Fry. I find that astonishing.
if they add one additional host to top gear this would be a top choice
Oop, I read that as Europe, not England.
But yes, Britain is on a large island on one of the two major British Isles which, believe it or not, are two big islands.
i just love him so damn much
@BenChipsy he really does, i can't beleive i have never noticed that before. stephen fry os a absolute legend.
what was the plane thing referenced?
@gunzkevin erm yes..this is just a tv show, and they do have tenths of seconds
hmm, you had me intrigued, it took quite a few listens but he says.... "motoring". "It's a real joy, a real pleasure in motoring there." he does say it quickly and shortens the vowels. m(e)rtring.
Didn’t know general Melchet could drive 😂
Stephen Fry will always be my Harry Potter.
what did they mean when they were talking about 'going OVER it in terms of aviation'
Flight times between far away cities like London and Singapore became longer. You use to be able to fly between the two in under 10 hours. Now it’s a 13 hour flight. This was mainly done to safe costs. Because the Concorde was seen as inefficient

I went to school in Midhurst!
what time is this show on? I can never find it.
Top gear was like this when it first started, first few seasons were empty.
James may should have done this interview
@johnccy
you obviously didnt watch until 5:06
is this an old one? or is the video where he is skinny the older one?
Now this man knows how to have a conversation
From November 2003.
2:27 what does that mean?
Hyperion all the progress we have made. I didn’t know what was meant by the exception of aviation but that was answered in another comment.
I think the aviation thing is referring to the concord being retired.
Never would have imagined myself using a word like "bespeak", although I know it exists, having come across 'bespoke' on multiple occasions. Also "tweedy"...
In all fairness you can tell friends when they're friends
Did you paint your deck.
When Fry dies the world will lose someone truly special.
I had never seen Top Gear and never intend to again but Stephen Fry actually made it a joy to watch.He can even make cars interesting!
These two are some of the most english persons on the world.
isnt stephen fry reaver in fable?
