Stephen Fry is a British actor and writer, (born 24th August 1957), who voiced the Minister of Chance in Death Comes to Time.

Fry also wrote the initial script for episode 11 of series 2 of the revived Doctor Who.[1] Believing the script to be too complex however, Russell T Davies decided it would be better suited for season three, giving the crew more time for preparation. The script was replaced with Fear Her, and as of yet, has not been made.

Added this however, in June 2010 Fry also described programmes such as Doctor Who as "wonderfully written" but "not for adults". Steven Moffatt responded by saying the show was "was designed specifically to be a family programme, that's what it's for."[2]
