*coughs*
Sorry about that outburst. Previously mu evening had in fcat been going so very shinily I actually pulled a muscle in my side laughing. No really.
The beautiful Samantha is always more radiant in real life than you canpossibly imagine and today was no exception.
The guest? STEPHEN FRY ♥
We were wondering on the way in and he was our "please let it be" and it was and I screamed a wee bit and there was Kingdom referencing and tiny bit of Hugh Laurie talk and lots of Stephen hiding under the desk to avoid singing (still more tuneful than Jeremy of course but less in time) and then he threw his kazoo into the audience...
He is great though and they did Uxbridge Dictionary which is his best game and then they played Mornington Crescent and oh... we were honoured to watch a game played against the latest in computerised Mornington Crescent software (called Electra) and she was a very good player mostly and she was compeltely in love with Stephen and told him that he was an honorary computer and then started calling him Stevie baby and it was beautiful.
Watching Stephen Fry in something where he's not chairing is quite fasinating because he doesn't sit still at all he wriggles and moves his hands and shifts awkwardly and tries to hide and all the sorts of things that I do when I'm embaressed or mildly stressed and it's quite nice knowing he can be like that too.
Humph was on fine form, hardly any retakes and for an 86 year old (well 85 I think though 86 when it'll be broadcast) and playing to the London Coliseum (biggest theatre in the west end) was enjoying himself muchly.
I fail for not talking about the others.Barry Cryer did opera, Graeme Garden played a great game of MC and Tim Brooke-Taylor giggled madly at his own jokes so we couldn't hear half of them ♥
All in all it was brilliant and great.
Now I shall pretend I didn't read any news tonight at all *nods*
