BBC World News - In Conversation with Alan Yentob, Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry discusses his personal challenges and professional achievements.

In front of an audience at the BFI Imax in London, Stephen Fry - writer, presenter, comedian, actor - discusses his personal challenges and professional achievements.

At the BFI Imax, in the context of a TV festival leading up to the centennial of the BBC and before a sellout crowd, Alan Yentob engages Stephen Fry - writer, presenter, comedian, actor - in a wide-ranging discussion of the deeply personal challenges and professional achievements in his extraordinary life so far. From his jail time as a teenager convicted of credit card theft to his four decade relationship with the BBC. Fry reflects on his high achieving Jewish family roots, his love of language, his life changing times at Cambridge University, discovering the work of Oscar Wilde, the realisation he was gay, the extraordinary thrill of falling in love, and the mental health challenges he has bravely and publicly confronted. TV highlights of his career are screened and discussed including a comedy classic with the likes of Hugh Laurie and Rowan Atkinson. Fry is also presented with a Radio Times Hall of Fame Award as a tribute to his unique career.
