Nick and Angela welcome the legendary Stephen Fry, a true polymath whose career spans acting, writing, comedy, and broadcasting. From his early days at Cambridge with Hugh Laurie to his iconic roles in Blackadder and QI, Stephen has captivated audiences for decades. He is here to discuss Odyssey, the final book in his Greek mythology series.

Nick serves Stephen some gildas, and his favourite drink, a vodka and soda. While Angela prepares ricotta filled peppers with salsa verde and crab, avocado sriracha cucumber boats, followed by a delicious one pot-cod with peppers, tomatoes and potatoes. The experts at Waitrose pair this with a Calmel Joseph organic pinot noir.

Stephen shares fascinating stories and facts (of course), including a heartwarming tale involving his dear friend Nigella Lawson. This is a fun conversation with great food talk, and insights into life in the spotlight. Stephen Fry is exquisite company and this episode is a warm and entertaining way to kick off December.
