QI - The C Series
The complete and utter C series of QI - TV's cleverest comedy quiz. Can you tell your chav from your chavender or your cormorant from your cubozooan? Do you know why Wrong Way Corrigan went the wrong way or how Cats-Eye Cunningham got his name? Have you wondered exactly what Christopher Columbus and Captain Cook discovered, pondered the charms of Corby or Chelmsford, the seductions of campanology or champagne or dreamed of walking on custard? Do you know how to serve a cheese log or what do with a lump of cummingtonite? Can you solve the mystery of Cinderella's slippers? Could you fool a coconut crab or name Thomas Crapper's key contribution to culture? Join QI's cool and calculating compère Stephen Fry as he teases the answers to these and many other cunningly contrived questions from Alan Davies and his comic comrades including QI regulars Bill Bailey, Jo Brand, Sean Lock, Phil Jupitus, Rich Hall , Jeremy Clarkson, Rob Brydon, Dara O'Briain, Clive Anderson, Arthur Smith, Mark Steel and John Sessions and newcomers David Mitchell, Doon Mackichan, Andy Hamilton, Rory McGrath, Helen Atkinson-Wood and Alexander Armstrong. Comes with: ∗ Cut scenes and outtakes ∗ Commentary from the production crew (aka Lloyd/Mitchinson/Fletcher) ∗ Chimes ∗ Cushing (the first QI pop music video featuring the QI cast and Jellbotty) ∗ Costermongers (The QI Shop)

Synopsis
Stephen Fry presents this comedy panel game where artistic licence is king. Each episode, Fry is joined by four contestants who must come up with the most elaborate responses to his questions, regardless of whether they're actually right.
Exceptional entertainment

Not entirely sure where Ramsey Tupper was coming from, although I do feel that s/he was being very unfair.
Qi is, in my opinion, the most intelligent quiz show on British television at the moment - as sharp as Have I Got News For You, and every bit as funny. The chemistry between Fry and Davies is always good, and the guests always add rather than detract from the show.
As a quiz show, adding something to general knowledge rather than simply making jokes is a good thing, in my opinion.

I've not seen this program enough and I don't want to either. I don't want to fund a tramp biting habit amongst crazy tongued celebrities. I can't imagine that all the things they come out with are the truth, when usually backed up with new research indicating a slight possibilty that it may be something other than what we all think was right. I don't like it one bit. Stephens nice though. Bill's nice too. It might make you laugh but its a parlour game for fwah fwah's.
You can't go wrong with QI

QI is a class act in every way, shape and form. It continues to be as entertaining as it is informative and damned worth a watch whoever you are and whatever your interests might be. Because the questions on QI are so absurdly difficult, contestants are awarded points for being interesting and sharing their knowledge. Boring, incorrect and obvious answers (usually things most of us were incorrectly taught in school, or have been proved differently since) are highlighted, and the record put straight.
You just can't go wrong with QI.
