With the Elders in exile and hiding out in Debbie's loft - some of them, like Vice-Elder Flowers, conducting their exile fully nude - Stephen Fry's Cuddly Dick begins the smear offensive, painting Debbie as corrupt and causing a backlash against her in Yonderland. Elsewhere, there's a pretty hapless, Batman-esque vigilante in town - The Bird - followed around by his unwanted but far more effective sidekick The Bee, while Debbie seizes a chance to clear her name.
Ben Arnold, The Guardian, 30th October 2016Forget Stephen Fry - Sandi Toksvig has made QI sing
Toksvig holds her own as the sharp, no-nonsense new QI host, cutting through the show's smugness and blowing away the cobwebs of Fry's tenure
Stuart Heritage, The Guardian, 28th October 2016Yonderland series 3 episode 2 review: Elders 11
Yonderland delivers one of its best episode so far with a full-on heist movie genre homage...
Rachel Meaden, Den Of Geek, 24th October 2016The 14th series of the knowingly esoteric quiz has reached the letter N which, for this opening episode, should probably stand for "new host". Sandi Toksvig takes over in the big chair and - considering how Stephen Fry's bluff smartypants approach helped define QI - the transition is remarkably seamless. Panellists Romesh Ranganathan, Cariad Lloyd, Phill Jupitus and original fixture Alan Davies are effortlessly steered and/or needled as required.
Graeme Virtue, The Guardian, 21st 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.
David Butcher, Radio Times, 21st October 2016QI: Toksvig triumphs in her first appearance as host
Does the series have a future with Toksvig as host? Indubitably - a word we probably first heard used in a sentence on QI.
Ed Power, The Telegraph, 21st October 2016Preview: QI - Series N
It was sad to see Stephen Fry leave QI at the end of Series M, but fans of the intellectual panel game have no need to worry with Sandi Toksvig in charge.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 20th October 2016Yonderland review
Great news! Yonderland continues to be basically the best thing on television.
Sami Kelsh, Cult Box, 17th October 2016Yonderland series 3 episode 1 review: A Rising Tide
After a promising first series and a confident second, Yonderland has returned for a third and begins by posing the question, 'do you need a Chosen One after the evil has gone?'
