Haha, ‘ClubFry’ – I love Stephen Fry; I love his books, I love his shows, I love his club, and I even loved him in America!

well, where to start! I am very new to twitter….a twitter virgin you might say. I feel so out of touch not only due to being such a virgin but also only just viewing “Stephen Fry in America” and QI. I live in Australia so we are always somewhat behind in getting informed programs! However, thanks to modern technology I have now become a Stephen Fry junky! Anyway, I would just like to say………..I loved it and anytime you want do an Australian Tour let me know!

You need to come back to Texas and visit the Blue Bell Creamery in Brenham. So much better than Ben and Jerry’s. And now I feel silly, after all the serious comments before me, for my first comment to be about ice cream. Well, maybe not *too* silly- Ice Cream is a very important matter, right?

I’ve only seen the clips I could find on YouTube, unfortunately, and I’d love to see the entire series. I’m curious, and a little nervous, of what you think of my state. I hope we treated you well!

With love from Texas,
A.B.

Really enjoyed your series about America that just opens the eyes for the normal viewer or traveller regarding this fasinating country. Brought back memeories when I drove from San Diego to Florida Keys. I wondered if you could do another series about Australia driving around all 6 states & Northern Territory. It’s roughly the same size with a very large range of interests from bizzarre to beautiful. There would also be the rivalry between our two countries. You could also visit many islands that surround Oz. You could touch on our Aboriginal issues, massive mining opportunites up north to the competitive sporting nation & the huge difference between the cities. Of course Perth wins hands down but the others come in at a close second & third.
If you want any more ideas – just let us know…..

Absolutely loved your series. It made me want to get out there and explore my country. I only wished you had come to LA. We’re more than just movie stars and tans.

I really enjoyed the book, and of course being a Wisconsinite I turned to that section of your book first. I was amused by the description of the typical Wisconsin winter, as well as the description of our cheese.

It was nice reading an outsider’s perspective on my state, and I hope you have plans to revisit America. Near where I grew up is a river where sturgeon spawn in the spring, and it is very facinating to watch. I also recommend going to one of our state parks.

I have watched the series and the book just came in from the library (it’s on my Christmas list). Both are just wonderful – the book is fascinating reading.

When I lived in Germany and friends found out I was from Ohio, they knew of our state because of the world’s only burning river (1969), still celebrated on the banks of the Cuyahoga as the Riverfest. So to hear that we’re identified in England for Kent State is not a great surprise – it was a horrendous time. Ohio is a great state to be FROM (just look at our list of people who have achieved greatness). Raising children to leave is what we do best; my own sons are succeeding wonderfully in Boston. (I actually left, had a good career in New York City and came back to have & raise children with my NYC husband!).

Your book’s jacket cover has a blatent error and needs to be replaced promptly by your publisher. Instead of your work in Bones, it lists House under your television credits. And it totally omits Last Chance to See. I do hope when my copy comes for Christmas, it has a new jacket!

Thank you for your wonderful work and inspiring take on America.
