Sir Stephen Fry is a guest on Countdown. He is an 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 when he impersonated Richard Whiteley.
He first found fame as a member of the Queens' College, Cambridge team on the seventeenth series of University Challenge in 1980.
If ignoring Gabby Logan: his twenty years, eight months and 24-day gap set a record for the longest gap between appearances until it was beaten by Helen Lederer.
