Quote:

Stephen Fry narrates a series tracing the roots of light entertainment, from variety to Strictly Come Dancing and all points in between. Music had always been at the heart of variety, but in the 1950s rock 'n' roll and the concept of the teenager arrived. TV didn't know how to cope so the 60s viewer was fed a diet of easy listening. Pop and rock flourished on TV in the 70s and 80s and after a fallow period is now back on primetime in the shape of shows like Popstars, Pop Idol and X Factor

Thanks....I can't listen but if anyone does I'd love to know if anything and what was said :D

would be nice if Darius got a mention, I beleive Stephen Fry was in attendance for one of Darius' performances in Chicago

I do like Stephen Fry. Very intelligent and funny man. I remember seeing him at the Savoy, when I went to watch Nigel Short take on Gary Kasparov in a chess match for the world championship. Stephen Fry is huge, he would stand a couple of inches taller than Darius, as I think he is about 6ft 7inches :o
