List of QI episodes (F series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of episodes of QI, the BBC comedy panel game television programme hosted by Stephen Fry.

The first series started on 11 September 2003. Although not mentioned at the time, all of the questions (with the exception of the final "general ignorance" round) were on subjects beginning with "a" (such as "arthropods", "Alans" and "astronomy"). The following four series continued the theme: the second series' subjects all began with "b", and so on.

The dates in the lists are those of the BBC Two broadcasts. The episodes were also broadcast on BBC Four, generally a week earlier (as soon as one episode finished on BBC Two, the next was shown on BBC Four). Aside from Alan Davies and not adding clip shows, there are six guests that have appeared in ten or more episodes (out of 61), they are Jo Brand (18), Rich Hall (16), Phill Jupitus (16), Bill Bailey (15), Sean Lock (14) and Clive Anderson (10). Excluding the Pilot there have been a total of 51 different guest panellists in the five series to date.

[edit] F Series (2008)

The sixth (or "F" series) of QI began recording on 5 May 2008. There are to be 12 recordings of the series. It's unknown yet, if there is to be a special thirteenth episode, as there was at the end of the "E" series, but it will be announced soon. Whereas most of episodes in the previous series had only two new guests, this series has new guests in most of the episodes.

The main bonus of the series, following on from the "E" Series' "Elephant in the Room" bonus. is the "Fanfare", where if any of the panellists said something particularly interesting a fanfare would sound.
