Stephen Fry to quit 'QI'.

To be replaced by Sandi Toksvig. He'll be sadly missed, but if anyone can fill his shoes it's Sandi. Good Luck to her in her new venture.

One can hardly imagine the show without Stephen Fry. And what a difference in physical stature of Stephen and the future presenter.

I was unaware there was an "alphabet" of the shows. And I was unaware of Sandi being anything other than a panellist on that show and an antique quiz show.

I wonder how long it will be, before Australia will get the newly presented show. I have seen so many repeats of repeats.

She also hosts a general knowledge quiz - a tough show - on channel 4, Lloyds. Originally hosted by William G Stewart, it was regurgitated this year with Sandi Toksvig fronting the programme.

Yes, we are also bombarded with repeats of repeats of repeats re QI on the 'Dave' channel. They're never ending. On ocassions the BBC will dish one out if they can't be bothered to fill the spot with something new.

I'll miss Stephen. He's been such a giant of comedy, no pun intended.

Given that this news is about Stephen Fry leaving QI, I presume you will be happier now.
You know, you can always employ your remote control to rid your TV of his horrid visage.
Here's a thought - properly fund our National broadcaster so you won't have to endure endless re-runs of British TV !

How do you arrive at the conclusion that pct001wine's post is interpersonal and hostile ? Paranoia is terrible affliction, but I believe is treatable in some cases, if not too deep rooted.

The panel (especially Lee Mack) "cannot be that stupid".
