BBC Radio 4 - A Good Read, Stephen Fry and Alan DaviesClose menu

Stephen Fry and Alan Davies discuss favourite books with Harriett Gilbert.

Stephen Fry and Alan Davies, comedy polymaths and QI partners in crime, get together to talk all-time favourite books with Harriett Gilbert.

Stephen Fry and Alan Davies reunite in the studio to debate their all-time favourite books with presenter Harriett Gilbert. Expect philosophical musings and a fair bit of silliness from these comedy polymaths and former QI partners in crime. 

Fears for the future are discussed through Aldous Huxley's dystopian novel A Brave New World, reflections on the past come with J.M Coetzee's memoir Boyhood, and for some light relief, Muriel Spark's centenary is celebrated in a humorous take on the publishing world, in A Far Cry From Kensington. But who picks what? 

Producer Eliza Lomas.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
