Radio Times, 8th March 2018The QI boxsets: a second pedantic look
In May 2017, I wrote a piece for On The Box about the first two QI boxsets, covering the first seven series. As I had heard from the show's researchers, the QI elves, that I was mentioned in these boxsets for my pedantry, I decided to cover them in a pedantic way. I have now done the same with the two most recent collections, covering Series H-J and Series K-M respectively.

The QI team, Daily Mail, 3rd June 2017The QI boxsets: a pedantic look
As a fan of the show, I was always going to cover this show positively and thus I feel that a straightforward review might be too biased. Therefore, I have decided on a different approach. As the Elves have called me their "chief pedant", and soon they will begin researching Series P, I have decided in good humour to cover both of these boxsets pedantically. Please note that if I do make any mistakes, feel free to pedantically correct me in return.
