Seriously glossed over Stephen's walking out on Cellmates. ""Citing stage fright and went abroad." He nearly checked out permanently. Perhaps he hadn't publicly admitted the suicide attempt, when this was recorded. Lot of respect for Fry's willingness to discuss his mental health issues in documentaries and interviews, especially after living with someone, for 15 years, who suffered from depression and anxiety. It's a horrible thing to witness and I can only imagine what it is like to live.

As an American... it's a shame it took over 20+ years with the creation of KZread for me to enjoy A Bit of Fry and Laurie. I mean, Monty Python was always available to us in the states, not that Fry and Laurie's comedy is exactly on par with Python, but it didn't have to be for me and others to enjoy it back then when it aired or even a few years later. I imagine it's possible that it could have been on a BBC cable TV channel and I just never caught it. Of course, my introduction to Hugh Laurie was from House not knowing he was British until he was on a talk show where he used his true accent and A Bit of Fry and Laurie was subsequently mentioned during the interview. Regardless, I'm happy to be able to see it now at will.

I feel the same way about American shows I had always seen being referenced in other media but never got the chance to see it. Currently watching old SCTV episodes and loving it
