QI SERIES 6

Ringmaster Stephen Fry presides over comic chaos in BBC Entertainment series.

QI Series 6 runs for 12 episodes every Tuesday from June 15 at 22h25 and 22h55 on BBC Entertainment (channel 120 on DStv).

Ringmaster Stephen Fry presides over comic chaos in the ‘The World's Most Impossible Quiz’.

Asking impossibly difficult questions of a four-strong panel of guests from the cream of current comic talent, Fry is harried and hampered at every turn by regular panellist Alan Davies. Other guests include the likes of Bill Bailey, Rob Brydon, Jo Brand, Phill Jupitus, Johnny Vegas, Ronni Ancona, David Mitchell, Jimmy Carr, and Clive Anderson - each bringing to the table their own levels of general knowledge and/or ignorance.

Points are awarded for answers that are ‘quite interesting’, regardless of whether they are correct or even relevant, while heavy penalties are imposed for those that are ‘obvious’ but wrong. Subjects in this series all begin with the letter “F”, and include such topics as Food, Future, Fashion, Flora and Fauna, and France. Packed with surprising information and gleefully overturning common wisdom, QI is the sort of show that may cause viewers to wonder why they ever bothered going to school!
