"QI" is a quite interesting quiz show in that correct answers are not necessarily the goal. But responding to presenter Sandi Toksvig's mostly obscure questions in a funny or interesting way, regardless of whether the response includes a right answer, is what scores points. And points are deducted if answers merely repeat common misconceptions and urban myth. It's OK to be wrong, but don't be obviously, boringly wrong. Toksvig welcomes to each episode a four-person panel made up of comedians, writers and broadcasters, plus permanent guest Alan Davies.

02/18/2020 Informative, entertaining, and ultimately rather humble. From tomfoolery to genius in a half hour span. In the rare occasion they get a fact wrong, the QI team are first to admit and correct. So refreshing! See more 10/29/2016 I love this show, and Fry and Davis made a good team, each bouncing off the other. They were very funny together, something you would not necessarily have expected, given their very different styles of comedy. QI stands for Quite Interesting, and, right from this first episode, it has been. See more Read all reviews
