The much-loved show QI is back with series V.
Kalpa Patel-Knight, BBC Head, Entertainment Commissioning:
“I’m very excited that QI is coming back to BBC Two for series V. It’s another all-star line-up and I know audiences will be thoroughly entertained.”
From Veggies to Visionaries, this series is packed full of Varied and Vibrant subjects that are bound to fascinate, challenge and entertain. Whether you’re a curious newcomer or a seasoned QI connoisseur, this series takes Viewers on a Voyage of discovery through a Vast number of topics that start with the letter V.
This series will see the return of Sandi Toksvig and Alan Davies who will be delving into a Vat of surprising, obscure and downright peculiar facts. They will be joined each week by a host of new and returning panellists, including Jo Brand, Jimmy Carr, Judi Love, Lulu, Rosie Jones, Joe Lycett and Gyles Brandreth.
The 45-minute QI XL version will air on BBC Two every Tuesday, starting on the 22nd October at 9pm. The series will also include a Christmas special. QI is a Thames Television (a Fremantle label) production for BBC Two and iPlayer.
Piers Fletcher, QI’s series producer:
“It’s been a wild QI ride through the alphabet, but here we are at the letter V and, after 22 years, I think we’re really getting the hang of it. But don’t take my word for it – watch the new series and prepare to be amused, amazed, and (who knows?) maybe even aroused. We couldn’t be prouder of Sandi and Alan and all the wonderful guests who have delivered perhaps our best series yet.”
The first episode ‘Voyaging‘ will air on Tuesday 22nd Oct at 9 pm.
