Stephen Fry leads boycott against Dorchester Hotel

The Dorchester Hotel is facing a boycott by fashion and screen stars in a row over a law, passed by its owner in Brunei, which could lead to gay people being stoned to death. Stephen Fry, US comedian Ellen DeGeneres and leading designers have all vowed not to stay in any of the hotels owned by the Sultan of Brunei in protest over the legislation.

I award five funny bones to Health And Efficiency (BBC1) and Bottom (BBC2). Four to Ellen and Roseanne (both Channel 4). Three to Fantasy Football League and Darts (both BBC2). Two to The High Life for Cumming and Masson, a double act working with a pair of scissors.
