Ian Wolf, On The Box, 21st February 2016Stephen Fry's Farewell - seven things we learned
After 13 years, 184 episodes and enough clever clogs asides to fill a decent-sized library wing, television's favourite erudite uncle has surrendered the lectern. It was Stephen Fry's farewell show as QI quizmaster.
Ed Power, The Telegraph, 20th February 2016After rattling through half an alphabet's worth of "quite interesting" trivia, and finding endlessly inventive ways of calling Alan Davies an idiot, Stephen Fry finally steps down from his role of QI's avuncular headmaster tonight. But first there's a final light-hearted lecture to get through, on the subject of misconceptions. The panel of Chris Addison, Sue Perkins and Sara Cox isn't quite a classic by QI standards - where's Bill Bailey?! - but one final opportunity for some Fry-and-Davies back-and-forth should make up for that.

Tom Slater, Spiked, 18th February 2016Stephen Fry: no plans to move to the USA
You learn the most astonishing things from your friends. Yesterday and today I have been bombarded by texts and emails asking me why I am leaving Britain to go and live in America. This caught me not a little by surprise, since I have no plans at all to swap the UK for the US.

Humour becomes all but impossible in an era when noisy mobs of self-styled holders of correct opinions are myopically policing what we say.
