Review - QI: Series M, Episode 16 - Misconceptions
Bye-Bye Stephen...
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 21st 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.
Gwilym Mumford, The Guardian, 19th February 2016Final episode for now of the slight but amiable panel show that eschews interrogation in favour of Sue Perkins lobbing underarm softball topics at the panellists. One might argue the licence fee-paying public would gain better value by just sending the panel down to Bella Pasta and screening their subsequent pre-doughballs banter. Nominative know-it-alls joining Josh Widdicombe and Richard Osman tonight include Bake Off invigilator Paul Hollywood, historian Kate Williams and comedians Joe Lycett and Sara Pascoe.
Mark Gibbings-Jones, The Guardian, 8th February 2016Radio Times review
Sue Perkins is stepping out without comedy partner Mel Giedroyc to host a new comedy panel show. And no, we haven't become terrible writers who forget to tell you what the show is called - Insert Name Here is, in fact, a name game. Perkins picks a name - let's say Paul, or even Mary, for example - and two teams captained by Richard Osman and Josh Widdicombe battle it out with as much wit and wisdom about that name, and the famous people who've shared it. Our money's on Team Osman - he has already proven he's a font of Pointless information.
Sarah Doran, Radio Times, 9th January 2016How well does Sue Perkins know about other Susans?
The presenter of new BBC Two show Insert Name Here would like to be known as Sue the Scruffy, and hopes Taylor Swift might have son named Gary...
Kasia Delgado, Radio Times, 4th January 2016Sue Perkins hosts a new panel show with team captains Richard Osman and Josh Widdicombe. Flanked by fellow funny types and a pair of historians, they argue in favour of notable people, all of whom share a name (who is the best George: Saint, Clooney or from Rainbow?). The panel show genre shows no signs of slowing, but there are positive developments here: a female host; the inclusion of people who know what they're on about; and a format based on a party game that you had forgotten is actually fun.
Julia Raeside, The Guardian, 4th January 2016BBC Two orders Sue Perkins panel show Insert Name Here

It didn't surprise me when the presenter talked of the loss she felt when Mel Giedroyc got married. We don't talk enough about this side of friendship.
