British Comedy Guide, 1st February 2017Preview - QI
After Stephen Fry stepped down at the end of Series 'M' the fate of the beloved BBC show QI, was unknown but Sandi Toksvig has done an excellent job in ensuring its survival.
Eloise Craven-Todd, On The Box, 20th January 2017A new offering in which the geordie comic welcomes guests to a TV studio seemingly decked out to resemble a teenage boy's bedroom, where he besieges them with games and challenges. Like Ramsey himself, it's amusing and good-natured, although Jimmy Carr's reliably sharp, close-to-the-bone gags threaten to overshadow both the host and fellow guest Natasia Demetriou in places. Plus, ever-orange Vicky Pattison offers tanning tips.
Hannah J Davies, The Guardian, 11th January 2017The Chris Ramsey Show preview
This is the WKD of comedy. Broadcasters are putting their faith in Chris Ramsey being the next Russell Howard in the 'cheery comedian with youth appeal' demographic, but this is a cheap and vacuous platform, even if his innate, good-natured likability keeps the show afloat.

Ali Catterall, The Guardian, 6th January 2017Preview - Big Fat Quiz of Everything
Jimmy Carr hosts the show that's bigger, fatter, and quizzier than ever, letting loose on not just the year-gone-by but well... everything.
Gareth Hargreaves, On The Box, 6th January 2017With a flittering light finally in sight at the end of the slime-slathered tunnel that was 2016, Jimmy Carr returns to help roast a year that left us all feeling burned. Richard Ayoade, Rob Delaney, Mel Giedroyc, Sarah Millican, David Mitchell and Romesh Ranganathan make up this year's teams, with Jon Snow, Charles Dance and a roster of celebrity inquisitors on hand to posit questions on everything from Boaty McBoatface to Brexit.
