American Fry
Stephen's new US travelogue
Stephen Fry is to make a travelogue series for the BBC, visiting every state in America.The QI host, who has received critical acclaim for his documentaries about depression and HIV, says he doesn’t want to depict the usual tourist destinations.
He told the Mirror: ‘It's a love letter to continental USA.
‘My major thought is that I don't want to go there and say, “Aren't Americans stupid?” My experience is that they are more intelligent than anyone gives them credit for and polite, and charming. And also honourable.
‘In New York I won't go to Manhattan, in California I won't go to LA. It's about being in the state, not about places we have been before.’
