The self-proclaimed elves from QI and its rather popular spinoff podcast No Such Thing As A Fish continue their new enterprise. James Harkin, Andrew Hunter Murray, Anna Ptaszynski and Dan Schreiber - whose tireless research has ensured the comedy panel quiz show a place in telly history - unearth the most fascinating topical facts from the week's news stories. Its tone is best described as impish rather than bitingly satirical.
