Stephen Fry blogs about his new autobiography

The only point of writing an autobiography, or so at least it seems to me, is to be honest. And in this book I have been utterly candid about a period of my life in which I spent an enormous amount of time and money on cocaine powder.

Radio Times review

The QI Elves, the folk who come up with those fiendish questions for Stephen Fry, emerge from their cave to field a team against the Bibliophiles tonight on Only Connect.

"Do you know everything about everything?" wonders host Victoria Coren Mitchell of the Elves. The answer is an emphatic no. She also brings a blush to the cheek of a Bibliophile by remarking upon his supposed resemblance to Benedict Cumberbatc, not that I could see it.

There are some killer rounds, though the music question might leave you feeling a bit smug as it's easy. But as always the connecting walls will probably wipe the smile from your face, when you think you've worked it out, but you haven't.

Dan Schreiber: The idiot elf arrives at the Fringe

Dan Schreiber is one of the QI elves to which Stephen Fry often refers on the popular BBC panel show, helping dig up the trivia and misconceptions that form the heart of the show. But you might now that already if you're a QI fan, because Schreiber is also one of the regulars on the show's spin-off podcast that launched earlier this year, No Such Thing As Fish. Schreiber also works with QI creator John Lloyd on the radio show The Museum Of Curiosity, a programme he helped conceive and co-produces.
