Galloping across the Americas. At least the book contained his thoughts and reflections.

Language. Saying that Fry speaks well or very well is not enough. His English is simply a benchmark, both in classical pronunciation and in precise and refined style. He articulates and does not speak often, and although he often uses not the simplest expressions, listening to him is already a pleasure. But the range of intelligibility of the language of local residents starts from almost zero. While some spoke almost as clearly as the presenter, others had only 1 out of 10 words to make out without captions. Subtitles, in my opinion, are necessary. It's a pity, but I still haven't found them for the 4th series (Mountains & Plains).
