QI's taking a trip to the beach this weekend. Go enjoy some seaside related facts here.
This weekend will see the start on this blog of a series of biographies of the stars on QI. The host of QI, Stephen Fry will be the subject of the first biography this Sunday.
QI's host might take a special interest in this week's QI Telegraph Column. This week Stphens come under the QI magnifying glass here.
It's been a long time coming and some thought it might not happen at all due to the poor sales of Series A. However, it looks like the Series B DVD will finally get made. A deal should be signed in the next few weeks. There's even a chance that both series B and C will be released at the same time.
However, you could also provide your assistance by telling QI what you would like on the DVD. Go to the forum here to read more.
Don't forget that the second QI iDVD will also be released this Autumn.
The Comedy Box, something that you may have heard of already, is a new, soon-to-launch, Internet TV channel. Warner Music is launching the project as part of their attempt to diversify into new markets.
John Lloyd, QI's creator and producer, is working to secure talent for the new channel. There has also been a new board added on the QI forum for budding writers to post their ideas. Click here.
The exciting news is that the new channel will feature, in its opening line up, the QI News. It will be a "topical weekly spin-off from the popular BBC Two panel show". EDIT: The channel will launch in September (not at the Edinburgh Fringe as previously reported in the Times).
As regular readers will know, the QI website already has a feature called the QI Rolling News which has already proven to be very popular.
The Comedybox will be free to view and funded through sponsorship and advertisements.
I am pleased to welcome Gluben to the QI blog. Glenn Reuben, who has been running his own QI blog here, will be writing biographies of all of the big stars on QI right here. No doubt he'll be able to dig up some excellent info on the life and careers of your favourite guests.
