Preview - QI: Odorous and Odious

This is an fun episode as far as I'm concerned because you can see me in the audience, although I am wearing a mask for most of the time, as Alan sits among the audience in order to try and fool a sniffer dog. But I am behind him and my face is on for just a second.

The QI boxsets: a second pedantic look

In May 2017, I wrote a piece for On The Box about the first two QI boxsets, covering the first seven series. As I had heard from the show's researchers, the QI elves, that I was mentioned in these boxsets for my pedantry, I decided to cover them in a pedantic way. I have now done the same with the two most recent collections, covering Series H-J and Series K-M respectively.

Ian Wolf, On The Box, 3rd November 2017

The O-centric 15th series of the wilfully esoteric panel perennial continues, this week rolling in the deep with an instalment devoted entirely to oceans. Quizmaster and commander Sandi Toksvig is joined by salty first mate Alan Davies and the rather lubberly crew of Aisling Bea, Joe Lycett and David Mitchell, all hoping to reveal some unexpected depths to their maritime knowledge. But do they know their oars from their ice floes?

Sandi Toksvig says she has to behave for her dream job

The no-nonsense comedian wants to see more females at the helm and, considering her triumphant takeover as the host of BBC2 quiz QI from Stephen Fry last year, she's only too happy to trailblaze.

We watch TV's smartest quiz, QI, being filmed

How did a bunch of Essex builders inspire the cleverest show on television? And why did John Lloyd, the creator of QI, come close to shutting the whole thing down last year?
