Fry on Twitter: too many people have peed in the pool

It's no big deal - as it shouldn't be. But yes, for anyone interested I have indeed deactivated my twitter account. I've 'left' twitter before, of course: many people have time off from it whether they are in the public eye or not. Think of it as not much more than leaving a room. I like to believe I haven't slammed the door, much less stalked off in a huff throwing my toys out of the pram as I go or however one should phrase it. It's quite simple really: the room had started to smell. Really quite bad.

Radio Times review

Tonight Stephen Fry has to warn all four panellists to behave themselves before he has even asked the first question. This week's letter is M - so you may be able to work out why he needs to tell them to watch their mouths.

Up for a quite interesting discussion is the reason you'd spread mustard on your lawn, employment opportunities for smart monkeys and varieties of metal music (including the combination of techno and disco allegedly known as Tesco). And Fry does a magic trick involving a disappearing teaspoon that's not really a magic trick.

Radio Times review

What links the hairy hand of Dartmoor, a bog cannon, a foetid parachute and an ant with the head of a lion? Why, it could only be this particularly bizarre episode of QI, which is a veritable monster mash of weird and wonderful creatures and people.

In the course of one half hour, learn about the stereoscopic smell of the star-nosed mole (useful for awkward moments in lifts) and the pubic hair party thrown by Mary Queen of Scots after the death of her husband, and muse on incredibly detailed theories about the mating habits of mermaids.

And with this smorgasbord of trivia (as well as a sneaky reference to Stephen Fry's classic role in Blackadder), you'd have to be a monster yourself not to get on board for the fun.

Radio Times review

If you've been missing Dermot O'Leary since he left The X Factor you'll be glad to see him returning to our screens here, where he's in his giggly element as the teams are forced to solve a collection of culinary conundrums.

For example: why do tortoises have such big shells? What would you give a butterfly for a special picnic? What two things can you get from a Kangaroo's nipple? And why would someone eat washing detergent for a multi-course Christmas dinner?

And if nothing else, you'll leave this episode with the unlikely mental image of Stephen Fry struggling to cook a cheap microwave dinner. Now that's food for thought.
