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'.
The description of the clip reads:
A breathless 60-second round of improvised comedy monologue from BBC Radio 4 panel game Just A Minute, on the subject of 'Digital Radio' with all the interruptions chopped out, reloaded with hilarious new animation. Featuring Stephen Fry.
