Many happy reruns
BBC Four is to dedicate two nights of programming to Stephen Fry this summer to mark his 50th birthday.

Fry turns 50 on August 24, and the channel is planning to clear the schedule to celebrate by airing some of his best work and favourite shows.

New programming has also been commissioned to celebrate his career, trade magazine Broadcast reports.

The first night will start with a 60-minute documentary entitled Stephen Fry: 50 Not Out, and featuring interviews with such colleagues as Hugh Laurie, Emma Thompson, Richard Curtis and Ben Elton.

The second night will be curated by Fry and includes a 30-minute show in which Fry talks about his guilty pleasures.
