Stephen Fry backs Norwich City of Culture bid

Top comedian and actor Stephen Fry has backed Norwich's bid to become the first UK City of Culture.

The television personality believes it is “high time that Norwich took its place in the limelight” and wants to see it chosen from the shortlist of four cities for the prestigious title in 2013.

Also backing the bid is Norwich Puppet Theatre, which says the benefits of success would be important to boost its own future.

Norwich is competing against Birmingham, Derry/Londonderry and Sheffield for the title and the winning city will be announced in the summer.
