She also talked about how she can make Stephen scream by locking the doors then coming downstairs naked. Then, later, when somehow the subject of Brazilian waxes and the like came up, he asked her (being the only woman on the panel) if she had one.

She started to stand up, saying, "Would you like to see?"

He screamed and hid. Because, as she said, he knew she'd do it. Apparently it's terribly satisfying to reduce brilliantly intelligent people to incoherence...

Gay though he may be, Stephen Fry is in general quite calm and interested in female anatomy; it's clear, at least to me, that this is something of a game for them. Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie, and Stephen Fry were at Cambridge together, and were in things like the Cambridge Footlights Review, and they're just lovely representatives of decades-old friendships between brilliant theatre-type people.

Bwahahaha!!! I am grinning like a loon. I love seeing folks who've been great friends for decades and know all each other's cues and foibles.

That sounds such a fun show.

They are all adorable! Sometimes I check Stephen Fry's Twitter, and it's always interesting.
