Review - QI: series M, episode 1: a medley of maladies
With the sudden announcement this week that Stephen Fry would be leaving QI after this series, it feels right to have a look this current series, and try to figure out what we can expect to stay and to go when Sandi Toksvig takes over next year. If anything were to be kept from this episode, it would be Matt Lucas. It was his first time on the show and he did very well.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 18th October 2015TV review: QI, BBC2
Judging from this episode QI may certainly survive when Sandi Toksvig takes over, but it will be a different animal. I guess in the same way the dynamic between Hislop, Merton and Deayton had to change when Deayton left Have I Got News For You, so the relationship beween Davies and the new host will be recalibrated. On Twitter when the news broken Davies tweeted: "A Dane you say? We'll all have pastries and jumpers and it'll be shot in black & white."

John Plunkett, The Guardian, 14th October 2015Sandi Toksvig to host QI: why did it take so long?
Of course we should celebrate Toksvig's new role - but we should also be alarmed that in a country of copious panel shows, this didn't happen far, far sooner. Yes, Toksvig finally getting the QI gig a quarter of a century later is certainly a tiptoe in the right direction but it's also important it doesn't make us complacent. There's a tendency, especially for Brits who don't like to make a fuss, to think 'A woman hosting a panel show, phew. Now we're a modern, equal society. DONE! Next issue, please.'
Kasia Delgado, Radio Times, 14th October 2015As Stephen Fry quits QI, it's now time to axe the show
Without Fry, the dynamic may well change positively, but the rot really has started to set in. The best approach from the BBC would be to ditch it now while it will leave fond memories rather than trying to flog it for a few more years of banality.
