    He did, but more recently (I think it was in an interview with Parky) admitted otherwise, starting in school days.

    P.S. I always thought of him as a smug git. Way back when, he and Hugh Laurie seemed to be dominating the airwaves.

    I rather like Stephen Fry - particularly the series he made about America.

    I am not a Tory though so I suppose it's OK to like him. Now where's Cyberman?

    His particular brand of smug cleverness and 'charming' quirkiness gets on my tits.

    I don't care if he drives around in his own private London black cab. He's a git.



    His boyfriend is apparently a comedian - but then again there are plenty of those in the Labour party.

    He was anti-government in the film. Hoarding banned material, having illegal sexual orientation...

    But didn't he end up rebelling against them ?

    Well, he is right up the arse of the Labour party, or is that "He's right up the arse of someone at the Labour party"?

    Of course the beeb got into a moral panic about it and sacked him at the behest of the tabloids. As many of the BBC execs are regularly coked of their faces (it is alleged) the hypocrisy is monumental.

    And, oh yes, Mr Fry is the archetypal New Labour Luvie - even doing Party Political Broadcasts for them at one point. No wonder he's never off our screens.

    Can't abide the smug git, ever since he suggested raising taxes in 1997.

    Hardly ever see him on TV lately. I wonder what's become of him.

    Unlike the ubiquitous Stephen Fry who is starting to get on my nerves. You can't turn on the TV or radio without seeing/hearing him. About time the BBC found some new talent.

    Bizarrely, I remember Ann Widdecombe (sorry if spelling's wrong) being quite a good guest presenter. Agree Rolf was good, but I don't like the presenter to overshadow the panel too much.

    Still not as good without Angus though.

    The one with Rolf Harris was good too - he had them all singing digereedoo or something. Even Paul Merton seemed genuinely impressed by the ozzie legend.

    I saw that show when it was first shown and thought BB was funny, but only in a 'look at him he's mental' sort of way. If he was the host on a regular basis I think he would cease being funny and become very annoying in an very short time.
