Stephen Fry
Stephen Fry voiced the Minister of Chance in the Doctor Who webcast 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 expensive for this slot, however, Russell T Davies decided that it would be held over to series 3, and require further rewrites. The script was replaced with Fear Her, a separate commission to Fry's script. Fry's script was never made as Fry could not find the time to make the necessary alterations. (DWMSE 14)
Outside of the Doctor Who universe, Fry's early credits included 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 and from 2003, he began hosting the BBC Four panel show QI, which later moved to BBC One and BBC Two. In 2013, he appeared in the film The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. He was also the narrator of the UK Harry Potter audiobooks, as well as several video games 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]
