In May 2009, Fry unveiled "The Dongle of Donald Trefusis", an audiobook series following Donald Trefusis (a fictional character from Fry's novel "The Liar" and from the BBC Radio 4 series "Loose Ends"), set over 12 episodes. After its release, it reached No. 1 on the UK Album Chart list. Ultimately however only three episodes were released, the rest with the note 'exact release date pending'. Fry's use of the word "" (spelled "lovie" by Fry), in "The Guardian" on 2 April 1988, is given by the "Oxford English Dictionary" as the earliest recorded use of the word as a humorous synonym for "actor".
