Gay Byrne does not look impressed

I do enjoy Fry when he's on-form. It's a great shame that he suffers from bouts of depression as he does, because I find that many (sniveling, weak, pathetic) people find it easy to discredit him based on things he does or says when he's in a "down" phase.

Of course, I suspect that when you have a clear view of the world as it really exists, as he does, those phases of existentialist depression are almost inevitable. This place is ****ing horrible and not many people seem overly concerned with making it much better, preferring the "status quo". That can be hard to deal with, when you don't have pretty stories of a perfect afterlife to lean on.

Lol

Gay was horrified but then i suspect many of his religious audience had never thought about life like that (and i think deep down they rather agreed)

The stock reasonings for the horrors of the world are pretty well established to defend against that, though. And if all else fails, there's always the old "mysterious ways", "We can't hope to understand with our tiny minds..." arguments.

That man is a national treasure, you leave him alone

His name sounds like a rather effeminate water course in Scotland
