Stephen Fry's REAL opinion about DAB radio ?

Stephen Fry is, at the moment, 'voice overing' an advert on BBC Radio extolling the virtues of DAB radio.

However, a clip from a another BBC Radio programme may just reveal Fry's real opinion of DAB.

Listen to this BBC clip from their comedy panel game, 'Just A Minute'.
