Just watching the Shrink Rap episode featuring our lovely Mr. Fry as suggested by a very clever bunny at fryandorlaurie (I'd link it, but that bally function is all messed up at the mo').

 

I must say that so far, it's quite the show. It's a programme where famous people (famous English people - like Stephen and Billy Connolly) are interviewed...And more "therapised" than interviewed...by Dr. Pamela Connolly Stephenson (Billy's wife). It's a fantastic idea, and I wonder who else has been on the show.

 

I have to say, though, that this is the most tense that I've ever seen Stephen, which is understandable. Having been on the shrink's couch for a period of about two years (and it wasn't a couch so much as it was a rather uncomfortable chair once a week) myself, one spends the whole time hurriedly trying to keep one's guard up. It's a tough business, and I think that for someone who is in the public eye as much as Stephen Fry  is, it would be harder to keep that guard up...You're forever trying to shirk people's questions and giving them other answers, and here you are answering the questions and being under the scrutiny of an actual clinical psychologist.

 

His body language certainly is interesting, if nothing else, lol.
