Stephen Fry
Sunday 26 December 2004 12:00-13:00 (Radio 3)
Michael Berkeley's Christmas guest is the multi-talented Stephen Fry. Unlike many guests on Private Passions, he prefers upbeat, cheerful music, and his unusually eclectic tastes range from Mozart, Britten and Wagner to Nina Simone, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, and The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band.
