Brilliant. Just gets better....
What a place the USA is. It's VAST...
We go there and think we've seen it... we've seen nothing... I would love to spend a year and do that road trip for real...

Yes very good programme. Stephen Fry has done a very good series and seeing all the states and all that amazing countryside is so much more interesting than it being all about the cities. The North of the US seems much more appealing than the South and they are like different countries. Having been to Minnesota and Florida they might as well be as couldn't be more different.

He's very intelligent, but completely unpretentious with it.
A very watchable and interesting presenter who writes his own stuff generally.

Exactly, four minutes in that prison last week could easily have been an interesting 20. They've gone for one quirky thing in each state and do a light piece on it. Graham Norton could have done that so a poor use of SFs skills I think.

I think he is a very good presenter and has a good sense of humour. We are really enjoying his US programme.
He is very intelligent and well educated, I don't think he is in any way "posh" in the old meaning, he does speak well which is nothing to be ashamed of.

Again, as said, I don't think fry is posh as such, well spoken for sure. I get the impression he'd be as happy talking to the queen as a homeless person on the street. He seems a real gent to me!

I might have to see if a torrent is available of this show. I do rather like Mr Fry, he's a very intelligent and witty person, plus there is the other fact that he rather does like Apple products too

my only critisim is that he went top to bottom in the space of making a brew and a piece of toast,
he was in canada waving his arm about then then a short while later he was in a tex mex bar
good prog though
