Stephen Fry joins star-studded BFI & Radio Times Television Festival
Britain's wittiest TV polymath joins the stacked festival line-up.
The much-anticipated BFI & Radio Times Television Festival 2022 is coming to the Southbank in just a matter of weeks, and the schedule is filling up fast with some brilliant panels and previews.
Now, joining the list of stars from the TV world who will be making an appearance, acclaimed actor, comedian and writer Stephen Fry will be taking to the stage for Hall of Fame: Stephen Fry in conversation with Alan Yentob.
A celebration of his career from his screen debut in the early 1980s right through to today, the TV polymath will talk us through his years in entertainment, including his comedy partnership with Hugh Laurie, his scene-stealing turns as Melchett in Blackadder, his definitive portrayal of Bertie Wooster’s valet Jeeves, and his more recent success as the former host of QI.
