Stephen Fry recently honoured the members of The Douglas Adams Continuum to an informal webchat during which he revealed details and outlines of many comedy projects.

Amongst them was talk of him appearing in an episode of House with long-term comedy partner Hugh Laurie. Stephen said, "maybe the upcoming season will see me in it. I like the idea of playing either an even nastier doctor than Hugh, or possibly a cleverer one who's nicer and really p*sses him off."

Also news of him having been approached by Robbie Stamp (producer of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy) and asked if he would be interested in being involved in any of the elements of a Dirk Gently film (Gently was a holistic private investigator also created by Adams) be it "playing Dirk or writing-directing or all three, or both or any permutation thereof.... Am currently rereading (Dirk Gently) with this in mind.... "

The most interesting reveal was that, maybe, just maybe, the Blackadder series isn't quite over with Rowan Atkinson lamenting his separation from the character and that Ben Elton has a film project in mind.

"Ben Elton wanted to do a B'Adder movie set in the Russian Revolution, with a Russian branch of the family ... he had some BRILLIANT ideas."

"We sometimes talk of future B'Adder plotlines, the 60s, WWII, that sort of thing. But it never comes to much. A lot of feeling that we left it on such a high note that it would be a bad idea to go back.

"There's nothing worse than an overweight boxer past his prime lumbering into the ring past his sell by date."

Other tit-bits include his non-involvement in a future Dr Who script, QI, The Da Vinci Code and his preferred computer hardware.
