Audio: John Lloyd - Creator of QI
Thursday nights ABC1, that's the time to be glued to your television or set your PVR to record.

The quality I especially revered in Steve Jobs was his refusal to show contempt for his customers by fobbing them off with something that was "good enough".

Tom Cole, Radio Times, 20th September 2011Tonight's line-up of guests is terrific: the ridiculously hunky Hugh Jackman, the sainted Stephen Fry and the peerless Peter Kay. So make the most of them, Jonathan, get them all out at once, chatting together on the sofa.
That's what makes Graham Norton's show such fun; rather than having painful or strained little individual interviews, he just flings the guests together and watches as something wonderful emerges. Come on, who wants to see Fry flirt with Jackman? I do, I do.
Jackman, an action hero and a highly accomplished song-and-dance man, is in town to plug his new film, Real Steel, a shiny, butch-looking thing about boxing and robots. Fry is on the show just to be himself while Kay, whose staggeringly successful comedy career spawned a similarly staggeringly successful brace of jokey autobiographies, is here to talk about his new book.
Alison Graham, Radio Times, 17th September 2011Drawing a respectable 4.3 million viewers in its first episode, Jonathan Ross's new show has precisely the same format as his old one, minus the Four Poofs and a Piano. You can hardly blame ITV for not tinkering too much, though: even when Ross was in the grips of "Sachsgate", his show managed to attract decent audiences. Tonight the loud-mouthed presenter welcomes Stephen Fry, comedian Peter Kay and Australian actor Hugh Jackman, who'll be discussing his new big-budget sci-fi movie, Real Steel.
