Stephen Fry
Stephen Fry was an English actor and author 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, but was never made as Fry could not find the time to make the necessary alterations to the script.
Outside of the Doctor Who universe, Fry is a well-known British film and TV personality whose early credits include Fry and Laurie, Blackadder (written by Richard Curtis and starring Rowan Atkinson), and Jeeves and Wooster. More recently he provided the voice of the eponymous Guide in the 2005 film version of Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, is currently the host of panel show QI, and appears in the forthcoming The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. He was also the narrator of the UK Harry Potter audiobooks, as well as several videogames based on the series.
In June 2010, Fry stirred controversy in Who fandom in a speech in which he described programmes such as Doctor Who as "wonderfully written" but "not for adults". Steven Moffat responded by saying the show was "was designed specifically to be a family programme, that's what it's for." [2]
