List of QI episodes

QI (short for Quite Interesting) is a BBC comedy panel game television show that began in 2003. It was created by John Lloyd, hosted by Stephen Fry and features permanent panellist Alan Davies.

QI is a 26-year-long project; each series covers topics that begin with a different letter of the alphabet; for example, the first series covered topics whose word began with "A". Thus it is referred to as "Series A" instead of "Series One".^[1]^[2] QI was given a full series after BBC executives responded well to a nonbroadcast pilot,^[3] and the first episode, "Adam", was premiered on BBC Two on 11 September 2003.^[4] From the second to the fifth series, episodes were aired each week on BBC Two; the second and subsequent episodes were shown first on BBC Four in the time-slot after the previous episode's BBC Two broadcast. When the sixth series of QI began in 2008, the show moved to BBC One and the broadcasting of episodes on BBC Four was replaced in favour of an extended repeat broadcast on BBC Two the following day, titled QI XL. Including the pilot and compilations, 109 episodes of QI have been produced.^[2]^[5] A ninth series, with 16 episodes, has been produced for 2011, bringing the total number of episodes to 125. Lloyd acted as the producer for the first five series. Piers Fletcher became producer as of Series F.^[6]

Series

Including Series I, 130 episodes of QI have been produced. However, in the official counting as used by the show's producers, the unbroadcast pilot and five compilation episodes are not official episodes. This brings the total down to 122.^[7]

Footnotes

^ This episode has yet to be broadcast, but was released as an extra on the Series A DVD.^[8]
^ ^a ^b ^c ^d Apart from the first episode which premiered on BBC Two, all the dates given are for when the episodes premiered on BBC Four.
^ For the General Ignorance portion of this episode, Fry and Davies switched places (with Davies setting the questions), as Davies "refused to be humiliated at Christmas".
^ Alan Davies was absent for most of this episode (being "teleported" out of the studio when he revealed his buzzer) as he was attending an Arsenal FC match.
^ This episode was a clip show which contained deleted and extended scenes from other episodes in Series E.^[9]
^ The broadcast of this episode was delayed by a week because it was replaced in the television schedule by the 2009 Comic Relief telethon.^[10]
^ The first few XLs were not screened the day after the short version was shown in Series G, the BBC instead choosing to hold them back for later airing dates.
^ This is the first episode to feature five panellists on the show instead of four.^[11]
^ ^a ^b ^c ^d The XL version of this episode premiered on Dave, not the BBC.
^ This episode signifies the first time Alan Davies has won back-to-back episodes.
^ This episode signifies the first Alan Davies hat-trick.
^ For the first (and only) time, players were on teams, with the women (Toksvig and Ancona) on one team, and the men (Dee and Davies) on the other.
^ Jo Brand was listed as finishing 5th in this episode - US President Barack Obama ‘finished’ 4th with a score of −10 for referring to 44 different Presidents taking the oath of office in a clip of his inauguration speech, activating a klaxon. It’s actually 43, because Grover Cleveland was the 22nd and 24th President.
^ On the original transmission, Clive Anderson was announced as the winner, but in the XL version it was shown that the actual winner was the audience, scoring 10 points compared to Anderson's 3 points.^[12]
^ This episode is a clip show which contained deleted and extended scenes from other episodes in Series G.^[13]
^ This episode is a clip show which contained deleted and extended scenes from other episodes in Series G.^[14]

^ Special episode webcast live as part of 24 Hour Panel People. Alan Davies was not present for this episode.^[17]
^ Conti was accompanied by her ventriloquist puppet Gran, whose score was counted separate from her own.
^ As part of the theme, the scores were unjustly given at the beginning, stating that Toksvig won (despite the fact Anderson had a higher score). The true scores were not revealed at the end.
^ The original broadcast of the 30-minute edition of this episode was replaced by live coverage of Children in Need on BBC Two. It was eventually shown during a run of repeats during Christmas 2011.
^ ASIMO scored points by demonstrating its technological capabilities to the audience. Of the four panellists, Mitchell had the highest score.
^ This episode was originally scheduled to go out on the 9th December 2011, but after a furore over comments that panellist Jeremy Clarkson had made live on The One Show - concerning a recent public sector strike and suicides on railway lines - the BBC decided to postpone the airing until a later date, which is not yet known. The XL edition was however unintentionally made available on BBC iPlayer (but was removed the following morning).
^ Special episode aired as part of BBC Two's Shakespeare season.
