Natasha Onwuemezi, The Bookseller, 5th May 2016It's the beginning of the end, the first episode of Stephen Fry's final season as host of QI - and after 13 years and 180 or so shows, the letter M is as good a place as any to pull the plug.

You might argue it's vaguely educational - I mean, who knew there was such a treasure trove of smut to be found in a teddy bear? - but the real joy of QI lies in the way its panellists can find a double entendre (sometimes a single one) lurking around the most earnest corner.
