"I think the rather eye-watering curiosity as to my sexual preferences... well, I wasn't expecting that! Not sexuality, you understand - that was understood - but my preferences within that sexuality framework."
"The frankness, the openness, the genuine curiosity. These are not things one is used to in the normal run of journalistic inquisition."
"Oh I think The Assembly just pips it. The Assembly puts one under a microscope for real."
"As embarrassed, awkward and uncoordinated as I always feel when dancing."
Stephen Fry expressed feelings of embarrassment and awkwardness after being asked about his sexual preferences during filming for ITV's The Assembly. The show features interviewers who are autistic, neurodivergent, or learning-disabled, and does not use pre-agreed questions. Fry noted the frankness and genuine curiosity of the interview format, which differs from traditional journalism. He compared the experience to his appearance on Celebrity Traitors, stating that The Assembly was more challenging. The new series will feature various notable guests and is set to air in April.
