Series 13 episode 2

Well done on losing that weight lindenchase. I've just lost 7 llbs and that was hard enough! Yep, no doubt he'll live longer (altho I think he smokes?) - thank goodness, he's a national treasure after all.

[ulstermayniac]

Yes! Now that word, to me, has taken on a whole new meaning, I will not be able to hear that word now without thinking about Jeremy and his meaning.

[Mystik]

I couldn't believe what I was seeing with Stephen! He looks *so* good! I mean, he's awesome regardless (obvs.!) but he looks great now

Loved the challenge in this one. Should have been more mud for the Glastonbury bit, not just a wet, grassy field. I want mud.

Although I think I did mention somewhere back a while ago, that I would *kill* to see James and/or the rest of the boys in raver gear? Well I guess James in a "17 year old" hippie hat, slamming a small car up a hill with doof music blasting and him making "rock" sign out the window will have to do. I loved that bit. Actually every bit where they remotely put his stereo on cracked me up. ;D

_{Honestly, when I saw them get the cd in there, I reckoned they would have picked some awesomely harsh scandinavian death metal or something just as big. But doof is a good pick also}

[fallatyourfeet]

I really liked this episode. ;D
I just love seeing the three of them cocking about. I laughed like mad when Jeremy couldn't get out of the field and when he called James 'Ravey-Mayvey',and all the in jokes and props in the office.I'm defiantly going to watch it again just to catch them all.

Still haven't quite recovered! Was an incoherent garbling mess throughout.
Stephen and James on the same show, just pushed me of the edge!

Mr Fry has posted this on his twitter.
I'm getting slightly stressed by the number of people telling me I'm looking tired/ill etc Don't see or feel it Keep checking in mirror5:54 AM Jun 30th from Tweetie

I guess it's just because we're all used to seeing his 'old' self. It's what he thinks that matters really.

[Wyvern]

He seemed really well in the flesh. I admit I was surprised when I saw him looking so slim, but he was quite chuffed with his slimmer shape

[Korri]

I thought he looked ill Maybe he just wasn't as well made-up as we've come to expect?

[ulstermayniac]

This might sound a bit odd, but I think he looks like an older version of his younger self, by which I mean, when he was younger, back in the 80s, he was quite slim, he just looks like that now, but older.

Did that make sense?

[Deleted]

It does. He's happy and that's the main thing.

Exactly it. I thought exactly that when I was watching it on Sunday (I was too busy on Wednesday going , "Oh, my god, it's Stephen Fry... and he's talking to Jeremy...")

[ulstermayniac]

Yeah! He looks fab! What I can't help thinking though is that if he had gone the other way and had put weight on, what would the comments from people have been like then?

As long as he is happy, that is the main thing, it's his body and health so as long as he is comfortable with himself he should just keep on going for as long as he wants to.
