At last...the dates for series G of QI!

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.

Save the Date: QI to be Broadcast in Australia!

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.

According to Alan Davies via Twitter...

...the new series 'G' of QI won't be starting until December. And when it does, it will be on BBC1, and on a Tuesday. No news yet on whether this will be the regular QI or the extended QI XL versions, as done for series 'F', or indeed whether QI XL will appear on BBC2 or at all.
