Stephen Fry admits doing 'absolutely no work' at Cambridge

Stephen Fry has admitted he did 'absolutely no work' at Cambridge and spent most of his time at the university doing drama.

The Norfolk-based broadcaster, who got a 2:1 in English literature from the university, said it would have been "an outrage" if he had got a first class degree.

Fry told Desert Island Discs host Kirsty Young he is still "in the honeymoon phase" after his marriage to 27-year-old partner Elliot Spencer and says the pair have talked about becoming parents.

The broadcaster, who tied the knot with Spencer in January, told Desert Island Discs host Kirsty Young he was "adoring" marriage.

Fry, who dedicated Ella Fitzgerald's Do I Love You? to Mr Spencer, describing him as the "great love of my life", was asked if the couple would like to bring up children and answered: "We sort of talk about it and I suddenly think, 'Oh my goodness I'm such an age now', but actually that's rather good, but we better get on with it if we do."

Among the other tracks chosen by Fry, 57, were two he had heard his long-time collaborator Hugh Laurie play during their time at university, including Nina Simone's I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free.

Fry, who also chose composer Arthur Wood's Barwick Green which is better known as the theme tune to The Archers, was asked what he thought the Prince of Wales made of the revelations in his last autobiography that he had taken cocaine during a visit to Buckingham Palace.
