Stephen Fry has received a six-month driving ban for speeding.
The comedian was caught on camera in Norfolk this May driving at 74mph in a 60mph zone, and pleaded guilty to the charge. The former Blackadder star was not present in court to hear the penalty, which also involved a £150 fine and three penalty points on his licence. It is believed he is currently filming in Hungary.
After a similar incident in 2002, Fry admitted: "I'm very sorry for being such a fool to drive so fast. I'll see if I can put a limiter on my car to stop me speeding."
