- Stephen and his Mother head to Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk where Martin set up home years ago with his wife and daughter. In 1932, Stephens Mother was born and lived in this house throughout her younger years, she recalls her memories of those days.
Stephen Fry seems as English as tweed, silver toast racks and the London black cab he can be seen driving around the streets of the capital. However, Stephens ancestry is in fact of Jewish European descent.
The story that pricked Stephen's interest the most when researching his family was that of his beloved maternal grandfather, Martin Newman. Martin's actual name was Neumann. By the time of his death, when Stephen was just eleven years old, his flamboyance had made an indelible mark on his grandson.
Stephen hopes to discover more about Martin's life and what happened to the other branches of the Neumann family?

His Mum' s UTTER DELIGHT is Sooooo, SOOOOOO TOUCHING!!!! BLESS!!!
"He always insisted he was an Englishman" Stephen's face is like half "are you serious" and half "of course he did"
Well I never! My family, one time, owned the property next door to Stephens parents home, off of, Southgate Green, BSE. Very interesting to say the least!
His mother is lovely, what a wonderful voice.
I've lived in bury all my life. Cracking town!
I visited Bury in 2004 several times from the US. Amazing little town, had a half pint at the Nutshell and enjoyed the abbey ruins and park. Just a lovely little town.
@@pamostman516 still living here! I currently work for Greene King brewery!
Me too, I love it.

I'm Living The Dream. 🙂
Bury St Edmunds is my home too. It's a lovely little town really.
“I’ll be your father... which is a Freudian Nightmare” 🤣🤣🤣
My god, both Stephen's grandfather and his aunt (as a child) are near-doppelgängers of him.
I was born in bury. Lovely place, man.
Ah, his Mum seems lovely
Her mother looks soooo young
never knew he had a connection my town what you know Bury St Edmunds has more History to unearth. the Town is already very well known in History. one of the biggest things the Town is known for is the Witch trials seem the Town had the biggest Witch trial in history in England. i think 19 to 24 people died in one day in the witch trials then even Kings and Queens stayed in Bury St Edmunds aswell like King Henry VIII lived here for along time even killed people.
Great storyteller , fascinating personality!
Grandpa Neuman looks just like Stephen! 🥰
wow
bit surreal hearing them casually talking about Surany lol
Fascinating, poignant story
'poignant story'? ahahhahha you're trying too hard darling and it makes you sound foreign!
Off the roundabout pass the rugby club and the bp garage 😅
stephen's mom had very English manners.
Freudian nightmare 😂😂
When you think about it, its pretty strange that in the uk they do cowboys and Indians
english and bores? do they play that in england? i spend some time in italy as a child. cowboys were very popular. furia il cavallo di west and all that.
The bores are the Scots, my dear... Mrs Fry was referring to Boers.
@@artsed08 yes, i know. they play "english and boars" in england, do they? darling?
Stephen Fry.........a man who likes to get to the bottom of things!!!!
And that is your business ? Don’t be so jealous, loser
You twist and turn like a twisty turny thing!
It's pronounced "shoo-rann", not "shoe-ranny"
The Slovak name Šurany, which is what they use here, is pronounced fairly close to what they say - of course, they have English accents; the A should not be so accented and prolonged. :-)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0urany - it was a multicultural region so slightly different words for the town in different languages, and they went with the Slovak.
beth12svist thanks for clearing that up
Why in hell do you people drive on the wrong side of the bloody road? :-)
NewHampshireBoy why do you think it is called the right side?
😏
Kiwi here. It’s the right side lol
Maybe you’re wrong 😂
