Episode 12 & QI News

Episode 12 of QI in the F series will not be broadcast at the previously advertised time due to a clash with BBC1's Comic Relief in Red Nose Day on 13th March. It is currently unclear whether it will be broadcast in QI's old BBC2 slot or the following week on BBC1.

Meanwhile in other news, QI's move to BBC1 continues to create international interest from producers wishing to replicate the format. Following the start of the Dutch series there are now ongoing negotiations regarding the sale of the format to be shown in France. If QI is adapted to a conventional prime time format for French broadcasts it will probably be converted into a 2 hour long show.

F Series

Apologies for the huge gap between updates to the blog. Things up in York have been hectic with the QI society's first new intake of students.

Anyway, if you've not heard already, the first episode of the F series will be broadcast next Friday at 10:00pm on BBC2. It will be the Children In Need special starring Roni Ancona, David Mitchell and Sir Terry Wogan. Unlike previous years this episode is a one-off. The rest of the series will kick off with the Christmas special in December and the rest of the series will follow throughout January. A broadcast schedule will be avilable here as soon as we get it.

Tickets to F Series Recordings

Applause Store are now taking applications for tickets to the first two recordings of the F series. Please note that contrary to previous years, only online bookings will be accepted and it will consequently be harder to get into recordings.

Tickets can be booked here.

Also, due to commitments for several members of this blog, we will be looking for additional guest authors this year to write reviews of the recordings. The reviews have proved to be a very popular part of the blog with several hundred readers. If you intend to be at any of the recordings and are interested in writing the reviews then please get in contact by sending an email to qifanatic@googlemail.com. We are particularly looking for anyone who has experience of review writing.
