Sir Stephen Fry is a guest on Countdown. He is actor, broadcaster, comedian, director, narrator and writer.
He is perhaps best known in the Countdown world for the infamous "sloblock" sketch on A Bit of Fry & Laurie in 1992 in which he impersonated Richard Whiteley. He first found fame as a member of the Queens' College, Cambridge team on Series 17 of University Challenge in 1980.
If ignoring Gabby Logan, his 20 years, 8 months and 24-day gap between appearances between Episode 3045 and Episode 7727 set a record for the longest gap between appearances until it was beaten by Helen Lederer.
