Sandi 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.

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.'
