The ubiquituous Mr. Fry has lately been filming in Connemara as part of an upcoming series he will be presenting about minority languages. To whit, he learnt a smattering of Irish and filmed a cameo role for the long-running Irish-language soap, Ros na Rún, in which he plays a bumbling English tourist who attempts to ask for directions in the official national tongue. The show will be broadcast in Ireland in January, at any rate can't be as bad as Blair's mangled attempt at "Thank you" in Irish (Go raibh míle maith agat).
