<p>Stephen Fry has claimed his love for sweets as a child was like an addiction.</p>
<p>The television presenter and actor has written and directed a short story about his childhood to be shown on Sky1, starring Outnumbered&#8217;s Daniel Roche as a young Stephen, and revealing his obsession with confectionery.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was more obsessed about those sweets than one would later in life become obsessed with drugs or tobacco, or sex, or whatever it is that drives people,&#8221; Stephen said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think of sweets as being the untouchable, slightly forbidden, poetic, dangerous, absurd things that we all chase after, and children somehow make it simpler as a story.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 53-year-old comedian plays his former headmaster in a tale of his time at boarding school.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;I realise I had a freakish education but at the same time it seemed normal.</p>
<p>&#8220;Then you look at it and go, &#8216;My God, it was a mixture of Dickens and Harry Potter&#8217;.</p>
<p>&#8220;Daniel really is extraordinary, tremendously poised and able to deliver lines which are not typical for a child, as one of the most ghastly things about me as a child was that I tried to use long words all the time.&#8221;</p>
<p>Stephen is one of 12 comedians who wrote and directed short films for Sky&#8217;s new Christmas series Little Crackers. Others taking part include Catherine Tate, Meera Syal, David Baddiel, Julia Davis and Julian Barratt.</p>
<p>Little Crackers begins on December 19 on Sky1 HD and will run over seven nights.</p>
