Jonathan Ross says I've only just seen this - perhaps everyone else has already been talking about it and I missed it?

QI, BBC4, 10 Nov 2006, about half-way in:
Jonathan Ross: Can I tell you about Wonder Woman? Wonder Woman's creator was William Moulton Marston ...

Stephen Fry: Absolutely.

Ross: ... who wrote under the pen-name of Charles Moulton, and who was in a polygamous and indeed polyamorous relationship with the woman who co-created Wonder Woman, and another lezzer on the side.

Fry: Absolutely right! *applause* Yep!

Fry: You're right, he married his wife Elizabeth, 22 years of age, and then carried on this affair with Olive.

Ross: And I think they moved in together, didn't they?

Fry: They all moved in together, he had two children by each, and then when he died, Olive and Elizabeth stayed together right up until the death of Olive in the eighties.

Ross: I think it's rather a beautiful story.

Fry: It is a lovely story.
I think that's some of the most positive media coverage I think we've ever had!

It's repeated tomorrow (Friday 17) at 10pm on BBC1.
