At least CF actually did something of merit and had a discernable character.
But don't let that stop you mocking me - I am aware this is B3ta.

Everyone touches people's lives in a different way.
I'm sure those mourning Clement and Jade are two completly different sections of society. It doesn't make anyone's emotions any less valid.
I mocked those that mourned Diana but was cut to ribbons when Peel died

Think of how people fawn over Stephen Fry. Now imagine that adulation being given to someone who merits it.
That person is Clement Freud.

After all it's not really his fault that morons bang on about how clever he is. As he said himself "I just have a good memory".
Sad about CF though :(

He's good at what he does. But, as your post indicates, I think that there's a gap between what he does and the praise heaped on him.
He's a reasonably clever, reasonably quick-witted person. But then, so are many others. With luck, Stephen Fry will turn into Clement Freud as the years pass.
EDIT: I like Hermione Eyre and Willie Donaldson's definition of Fry: "A stupid person's idea of a clever person".

someone needs to give me these memos. does that mean we're allowed to like Geldoff again now?
As far as charmingly lovely goes I'd take Fry over anyone else on TV. how can you not love a man who says "Wo ist meine Handy?"

it's just that they're more memorable than dullards, so the past seems to contain a higher ratio

I was lucky enough to go to two recordings of Just a Minute and he was at both of them....
I found a bit torrent which (it claims) has every Just a minute ever recorded... although it is about 6 gigs. I've been downloading it for a wee while now. Hopefully it'll come up roses soon.
