    I have been watching the BBC show QI for the last 6 months in South Africa, Stephen Fry has a great sense of humour and interacts with the other guests on the show superbly. His witty and yet very informed and fair comments on just about any subject really does inspire me, I have a renewed interest in general knowledge thanks to Stephen and if only I had been lucky enough to have a school teacher as interesting as Stephen is I would have gone on to obtain many degrees. I hope you will keep the show running as long as possiblemoreless

    I really love this show. It's my new favorite thing on the english television. It is great how it combines very informative facts with good humour. I like the guests, they select some decent ones which aren't boring at all. When I watch this show it truly relaxing, I love to learn new stuff and to brag with the line "hey! I knew about that!". And Alan Davies is the true star on the show, he makes it shine.. The host.. the man who is preseting, I don't remember his name.. it's kinda annoying sometimes and I don't like him I don't know why. Anyway, overall, it's a good show. Worths spending half of hour of your life for it.moreless

  • A truly unique and quirky enjoyable quiz show

    I discovered QI in its first series and began watching it purely out of a love for Stephen Fry and Alan Davies. There is so much good stuff in this show, it's hard to pinpoint it all. But I shall do my best to try.

    Stephen Fry is the perfect host for this show and is able to show off both his considerable knowledge and intellegence as well as his incredible wit. This works brilliantly with Alan Davies' everyman persona, asking the questions we would and displaying the disbelief most of us feel at the facts Fry produces. The banter between the two is worth watching the show for alone.

    Of course the other panellists are also worthy reasons to tune in - regulars such as Bill Bailey, Rich Hall, Phil Jupitus, John Sessions and Jo Brand as well as the occasional surprise addition such as Rory Bremner, Richard E Grant and Roni Ancona keep the laughs flowing. There's always at least one good one-liner per episode and always an astonishing fact or two to remember for pub quizes.

    A rare gem of a quiz show in that it doesn't lose its shine after repeat viewing, QI is one of the most original and witty quiz shows ever to hit our screens and is always worth watching. Roll on the next 20 or so series.moreless

  • My own personal perfect show.

    Someone has probed my brain...read that I like interesting facts, mixed with intelligent comedy with a small dollop of sexual innuendos (mostly from Jo Brand and Alan Davies) and a large serving of general silliness.

    Doesn't matter where I am, what I am doing, what mood I am in; if QI comes on the world stops while I watch it...even if I've seen it before. The DVD's to date grace my collection and are heavily being worn out.

    Stephen Fry is my ideal best friend...funny with a razor sharp wit and a worldy knowledge, we'd chat for hours.

    Alan's view of the world with (probably deliberate) child-like observations creates the perfect symbiotic relationship with Stephens' paternal affection for him. Which in itself creates the perfect duo.

    One personal gripe. More Bill Bailey!moreless

  • Great show and incredibly interesting. If you're curious about the world and love to learn this show will captivate and entertain you. Ever since finding this site: http://www.watchqiepisodesonline.com/ I suffer from an ass lodged in front of my pc.moreless

    Qi is a great entertaining but also informative show. The quality of the show often depends on the guest but there's allways a set standard with the permanent guest Alan Davis. The interaction between the professorial Stephen Fry and the playfull and funny Alan Davis make up a great part of the show's appeal.

    I can't possibly fathom how many useless things I got to know because of Qi. I know now that our earth has more then one moon,that there is a word that does rhyme with purple and why the giant tortoise never had a scientific name untill recently.

    Amazing show.moreless
