Janet Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Did anyone else watch? I think shows like this make the licence fee worth paying, plus I love Stephen Fry! If I was to visit the USA, it would be the East cost I'd like to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I hope that makes it here. I love Stephen Fry too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bella Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I saw this and it was great - I've been waiting for ages for something new featuring Stephen Fry.... I coud happily watch him hosting anything It was really great though because too many shows where people go to the USA are about how bad the country is or how stupid the people are etc etc. This was refreshing for showing the country and it's people in a positive light - I wonder if the Griff Rhys-Jones version of this which is starting on ITV will be anywhere near as good!

Inver Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I loved it too Bella. I think he is great to listen too. Look forward the other programmes. My hubby had seen part of the bit where he was at Gettesburg to do with the civil war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruth Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Yes, I watched it. I loved it when he went to Newport, Rhode Island - I will be there in three weeks!! I went before in 2006, and we are going there for a week (we have friends there, who we are staying with), and then New York for four days.

Janet Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 I missed it! I saw him on This Morning (well, I was at home unwell! lol) and it looked like a good show. It's being repeated on Saturday 18th October at 7.10pm on BBC2. It's definitely worth trying to catch up with, Michelle. Like Bella - I could watch anything Stephen does - even a documentary about paint drying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bev Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I watched Frost, I forgot it was on Glad to hear it's being repeated will definitely be watching that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookwormmum Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I saw this & really enjoyed it. I just wish it was longer. You'll just get interested and it would whisk you off somewhere else. I could quite happily sat through an episode a state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inver Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Thanks for the reminder, I would have forgotten it again (I missed it last week) Remember iplayer for repeats. I have to say I agree with Stephen about the difference in the states. Would much rather have the beautiful countryside, snow cabins and log fires etc than the sunshine state beaches etc. No disrespect to anyone who does....but just my preference. He certainly saw some beautiful surroundings. Thanksgiving must be a great day over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
