Fry came to the attention of radio listeners with the 1986 creation of his alter-ego, Donald Trefusis, whose "wireless essays" were broadcast on the BBC Radio 4 programme "Loose Ends". In the 1980s, he starred as David Lander in four series of the BBC Radio 4 show "Delve Special", written by Tony Sarchet, which then became the six-part Channel 4 series "This is David Lander" in 1988. In 1988, Fry wrote and presented a six-part comedy series entitled "Saturday Night Fry". Frequent radio appearances have ensued, notably on panel games "Just a Minute" and "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue". In 2000, he began starring as Charles Prentiss in the Radio 4 comedy "Absolute Power", reprising the role for three further series on radio, and two on television. In 2002, Fry was one of the narrators of A.A. Milne's "Winnie-the-Pooh" and "The House at Pooh Corner", in which he voiced Winnie-the-Pooh. He presented a 20-part, two-hour series, "The Incomplete and Utter History of Classical Music", a "witty guide" to the genre over the past 1,000 years, on Classic FM.
