QI's researcher James Harkin (aka Eggshaped) is going where no elf has gone before; on a round the world trip to find interesting facts for the H series. His itinerary includes Hungary, Hispaniola, Hawaii, Hong Kong & The Himalayas. You can keep up to date with his journey via his new blog: http://tripipedia.blogspot.com. He would also welcome any suggestions for interesting locations to investigate so feel free to comment on his posts.
As posted on the QI Forum and Twitter, the G series of QI will begin on Thursday 26th November at 9.30pm on BBC1. It will run for five weeks in that slot, the last of which will be on Christmas Eve and presumably be the Christmas Special.
After that, episode 6 airs on Friday 8th January at 8.30pm on BBC1. The remaining episodes will then air on Fridays for consecutive weeks. No information yet about which episode is the first, which order any of them are in, or the possibility of QI XL editions on BBC2. Not yet, anyway.
In a nutshell then, the airdates are:
Episode 1: Thursday 26th November, 9.30pm, BBC1
Episode 2: Thursday 3rd December, 9.30pm, BBC1

A heads up to all Australian friends of QI:
ABC1 is due to air QI for the first time on Tuesday, 20 October at 9:30 PM, and presumably each Tuesday night thereafter.
The first episode to air will be Flotsam and Jetsam from the "F" series, featuring Rob Brydon, Andy Hamilton, Charlie Higson, and our perennial favourites Stephen Fry and Alan Davies.
Please be sure to tune in to show your support!
