Video Description

Britain's comic genius, Stephen Fry, travels around each of America's states in his black London cab in order to discover, in his own inimitable style, what makes the country unique and to get under the skin of American life.

His journey across the vast country takes him to a whiskey distillery in Kentucky, lava fields in Hawaii, an Amish community in Wisconsin and a brothel in Nevada, as well as hunting in New York State, sailing on an America's Cup boat in Rhode Island, basket weaving with Navajo Indians and meeting environmental activists in Oregon.

Stephen is shown the country by its proud citizens as he drives across the continent uncovering the idiosyncrasies that makes each state individual and the similarities that make America distinct.



Synopsis

National treasure and comedy icon, Stephen Fry takes his black cab out on the American open road to explore each of the countries' states, and observe the American way of life through the eyes of its citizens. Fry starts in New England, before heading south to the nation's capital, and then off onto a thinking-man's road-trip adventure in his own unmistakable style.

5.0 out of 5 stars REGION LOCKED - Region B, 9 Mar 2009
By Neil Wilson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Please note that this BluRay Disc is Region B and will not play on Region A (American) Players - which is too bad because this is a great series.

My US Sony BD S350 just displays a blank screen.

UK BluRay Discs like BBC 'Pride & Prejudice', 'Cranford' & 'The Tudors' play perfectly on it but 'Stephen Fry in America' would not.

3.0 out of 5 stars Blu-ray but not Hi-Def, 19 Jun 2009
By Bling Crosby (Berks, UK) - See all my reviews
Really enjoyable series but despite it being on Blu-ray, it is not Hi-def.
You may as well save yourself a few quid and just get it on DVD. In my opinion it is kind of pointless as a Blu-ray release.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and entertaining., 8 Feb 2009
By Neal Parkinson (Lancashire, UK) - See all my reviews
I've always got time for Stephen Fry - he always comes across as being very thoughtful and intelligent. For me any TV show with him in it is must-see tv and this is no different. Stephen travels around all 50 states of the "US of A" commenting on the landscape & people and offering his own exquisite thoughts about what this all means to him personally. The black cab he travels round in is a great touch and shows this is indeed almost "our man" in America.

This is a great Blu-Ray DVD - all the episodes from the recently shown BBC1 series plus extra's.

My only personal disappointment was that when the show does wind up in California they fail to take in Los Angeles which I would have thought would me a must when doing a show about America. Having been to LA several years ago I was hoping they would at least take in the 2nd largest city in the USA but it wasn't to be.

But this is only a minor gripe and one that is personal at best. Go buy this DVD - you will not be disappointed!
