After the sad passing of our beloved Humph, ISIHAC could have quietly shuffled off into the sunset, but it returns with guest host (and former panel member) Stephen Fry. Regulars Graeme Garden, Barry Cryer and Tim Brooke-Taylor are joined by new girl Victoria Wood, who turned down the chance to appear on the show 19 years ago, but hopefully will make many more appearances in future.

Catherine Gee, The Telegraph, 10th June 2009A bout of Fry v Laurie
On Sunday two of Britain's national treasures, whose surnames have been entwined in the public consciousness since their comedy show A Bit of Fry and Laurie first aired on BBC Two in 1988, compete for our affections. At 9pm, you can see Stephen Fry as a Norfolk solicitor in Kingdom. Meanwhile at the same time on Sky 1, you could watch House, starring Hugh Laurie as a medical genius. It's time to decide who is better - Fry or Laurie?
Stuart Jeffries, The Guardian, 4th June 2009Although it was nearly canned after its first run in 1983, Blackadder as a series ran for six years (while spanning 500 years of history), making household names of its stars. This has more padding than Nursie's bustle and Rowan Atkinson is conspicuous by his absence but interviews with Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie in particular make the 25th anniversary special - first shown in October last year - thoroughly entertaining.
Jane Rackham, Radio Times, 28th April 2009Fry's delight
Quizmaster Stephen Fry is joined by two of his best buddies in this week's QI. It's a real luvvie fest, thanks to the presence of John Sessions, who's appeared on the show several times before, and first-timer Emma Thompson. She and Fry go way back, of course. They met at Cambridge, and were members of the famous Footlights troupe, which also included Tony Slattery and Hugh Laurie. They've appeared on screen together in such projects as Alfresco and Peter's Friends.
The Northern Echo, 6th March 2009Three into one can go, but they won't replace Humph
It is a tribute to the magnificent Humphrey Lyttelton that his replacement as host of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue has been named as Stephen Fry. And Rob Brydon. And Jack Dee. A revolving comic trinity, in place of the one god.

Raymond Hainey, Daily Record, 8th February 2009TV Dinners: How to make ... QI
1. Hurrah! Could life get any more yummy or fluffy, it's QI, lathers Stephen Fry - the show that will be nibbling the nipples of knowledge, fondling the buttocks of braininess, and cerebrally satiating itself on the G-spot of good humour.
