This new series is based on the popular podcast No Such Thing As a Fish, in which the researchers of QI unearth and kick around their most interesting obscure facts of the week. This spin-off applies the treatment to current events: it takes a look at the week's affairs, but in search of interesting gems, rather than taking the usual panel show satirical broadsides. With James Harkin, Andrew Hunter Murray, Anna Ptaszynski and Dan Schreiber.
