I was there and this podcast isn't quite like being front row but it's a great reminder of the wonderful time I had that day. This lecture shows us how extraordinary language is. Fry talks about discovering his love of language through Oscar Wilde, the complexities of language and how we can appreciate it. Stephen Fry speaks articulately and puts his points across very well. He is always a pleasure to listen to and I shall never get bored of him, ever! I was lucky enough to meet him after the lecture had finished. Thrilling is an understatement.

Enthralling

I really found this interesting. As some one with a passing interest in language it has encouraged me to read more in to the subject - and watch the show!
