Screen Daily, 15th December 2016TV review: The Undiscovered Peter Cook, BBC4
It's the kind of scoop every journalist/documentarist dreams of. Getting access to hitherto unseen archives of someone dead and famous. And that is exactly what Victor Lewis-Smith landed when Peter Cook's widow Lin allowed him to rummage through Cook's personal possessions in his Hampstead mews home that hadn't been touched since his death in 1995. The results have been painstakingly cherry picked and put together to produce this fascinating doc on a man who has already had umpteen fascinating docs made about him.

Rachel Meaden, Den Of Geek, 24th October 2016Sandi Toksvig on QI, Stephen Fry, and her open wedding
Playwright, novelist, budding politician, handywoman and now QI quizmistress - is there nothing Sandi Toksvig can't do?
Ginny Dougary, Radio Times, 21st October 2016QI is in the safest of hands
The trouble is, if pushed, I would say - and this is not sacrilege, bear with me - that in recent series, even under Fry's tutelage, QI has gone very slightly off the boil, as long-running panel games will. A slight shake-up to the format might be just what it needs.
