The much-anticipated BFI & Radio Times Television Festival 2022 is coming to the Southbank in just a matter of weeks, and the schedule is filling up fast with some brilliant panels and previews.
Now, joining the list of stars from the TV world who will be making an appearance, acclaimed actor, comedian and writer Stephen Fry will be taking to the stage for Hall of Fame: Stephen Fry in conversation with Alan Yentob.
A celebration of his career from his screen debut in the early 1980s right through to today, the TV polymath will talk us through his years in entertainment, including his comedy partnership with Hugh Laurie, his scene-stealing turns as Melchett in Blackadder, his definitive portrayal of Bertie Wooster’s valet Jeeves, and his more recent success as the former host of QI.
Hosted by Alan Yentob, it’s a panel that’s not to be missed, taking place on 22nd May at 8:15pm at the BFI IMAX. Tickets go on sale today at 11:30am for BFI champions and patrons, 12:30pm for BFI members, 3:30pm for Radio Times subscribers, and at 4:30pm they will be available to all.
