Reviews

maria-ricci-1983 With lots of references to British culture, lifestyle and history, it is a difficult-to-translate show. But if you watch it in English and with a British mindset, there is nothing like it: smart, interesting, truly funny (and not prudish at all).Davies and Fry are a lovely couple of hosts to watch, and the panelists are also quite funny (I like Hall and Jupitus very much).It is a very entertaining show, with lots of interesting pieces of information which are simply funny (though probably extracted from a questionable use of sources and statistics, but it really doesn't matter because the whole show is hilarious).I happened to watch it at a friends' and I didn't expect it to make me «laugh», just to entertain me with interesting stuff. However, to my surprise, it was funnier and wittier than many comedy shows. I laughed my heart out! Warning: It is not a «family show» unless you openly talk to your children about adult matters. References to sexuality, gay life and double entendres abound, but always in a subtle, witty way which does not strike as vulgar in general.Kudos to Q.I.! Do not miss this program if you can!

Prismark10 QI is a panel quiz show which really sets out with the Reithian principle of to educate, inform and entertain.QI stands for Quite Interesting and Stephen Fry seems suited to host it as he is known all around as a clever chap armed with a suitable quip. Alan Davies is a regular panelist and Bill Bailey tends to pop up often as a panelist as well.A bit like the TV programme, Call my Bluff it seems to attract stars on the show as it gives them an opportunity to shine or show how clever they are. Its a blend of learning something interesting as well as having a few laughs nu sometimes appears to be rather smug and self satisfied though.

screenman Starring the BBC's ubiquitous rent-a-host; multi-talented Stephen Fry enticingly draws this excellent panel show along with an often unlikely though almost always entertaining mixture of guests, subjects and answers. Alan Davies gags it up as 'fool in residence', complementing Fry's towering intellect. Three other personalities ad-hoc the panel into a foursome.Although hugely entertaining at times, it is often compromised by the sort of toilet-humour innuendo that make it an unpredictable watch for younger viewers. And that's a pity, because it's intelligent and thought provoking in a way that few programmes are, and is precisely the sort of entertainment a juvenile generation deserves. It would be nice to have at least one comedy programme that didn't provoke needlessly embarrassing explanations to a young family.It looks set to run, on and off, for quite some time; and deservedly so. It's definitely a winning format.But - gosh - isn't Mr Fry clever?

Tim Callaghan This truly has to be one of the greatest Television Quiz shows ever green-lighted by the BBC. Fry's Wit, Charm and Intellect are all apparent in this show which seems to be the perfect vehicle for him.The show is a refreshing change from the recent onslaught of reality shows that are dumbing down television, this show is very intellectual, but still focuses on what is interesting, not correct.At half an hour though, its too short, and leaves the viewer begging for the next episode and yet more gratuitous abuse of Alan Davis and more interesting, if not completely accurate facts.A well researched, Highly witty circus of amusement, long may it continue...
