It's a big moment for Rosebud, because in this episode Gyles talks to Stephen Fry about his first memories. As you can imagine, this is a brilliant conversation, as Stephen tells Gyles about his parents and their remarkable marriage, his childhood, schooldays, how he went slightly "off the rails" as a teenager and then got things back on track at Cambridge. There are various detours, via Oscar Wilde, Shakespeare and Derek Nimmo's nose. Thank you to Stephen for his warmth and generosity in this chat. Stephen is doing a special one-off performance at the Royal Albert Hall on Tuesday September 24, to celebrate the final instalment of his Greek myth series, Odyssey. Tickets are on sale now.
