Stephen Fry to leave QI

[Penfold]

Just read that Stephen Fry is to leave QI at the end of the new series, which just happens to be half way through the alphabet, and with Sandi Toksvig to take over.

I know it won't be the same but I do think they have got the right person to replace him. Nothing has been said about Alan Davis so I guess he is sticking around for a bit longer.

 

[Tonyblack]

Yep, Sandi would be a good replacement.

 

[The Mad Collector]

Stephen Fry has said Alan Davies is staying

 

[Quatermass]

Well, she seems all right, I guess. But Stephen Fry is leaving???

 

[DickSimnel]

I'm not a Sandi Toksvig fan. ISTM that she tends to make herself the main focus, whatever the circumstances. Stephen Fry has been quite low-key and self-effacing whereas I'm afraid that Sandi will be a strident host and that would spoil the programme for me. I shall await the next series with trepidation.

Sandy will do fine. Though it’ll be a bit of a change. And we all knew Stephen couldn’t do the show forever. But it is sad to see him go. Hey, who knows, maybe this will give him the time to take on interesting acting roles (Bond villain?).

 

[Sister Jennifer]

take on interesting acting roles (Bond villain?).

Do you expect me to talk?

No Mr Bond. I expect you to die, depart, expire, perish, become an ex 007. Mwhahahaha!

Yeah, that'd work for me.

You know, his eyelids in that shot look nightmarish. Reminds me a little of the Corinthian. I can almost see the teeth behind the eyelids...

 

[Christoph81]

Pleasant dreams...

Still early days after just two episodes but I'm really enjoying Sandi Toksvig in charge.

 

[Sister Jennifer]

Fantastic. I haven't seen any yet. Looking forward to it.

 

[Tonyblack]

Yes, quite a smooth transition I'd say.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I went to see Dr Strange film today it was quite good they even had an early Pink Floyd track playing there was even a nod to a scene in the Lord of the Rings with a eye, and the sequel looks good as is has Thor in it.

 

[RathDarkblade]

Sigh. Whenever us Aussies get to see QI, which isn't often, we're still treated to repeats with Stephen in the chair.

It is superb, but I wonder when we might be allowed to catch up with the times.

I am, more than I expected if i'm honest and I wasn't expecting it to be bad.

 

[Sister Jennifer]

I have now seen a couple of episodes with Sandi at the helm. She's fantastic, the show is still fantastic, and aside from needing a thesaurus I'm very happy... and fantastically relieved.

 

[Penfold]

This might be sacrilege to say but I've had more laugh out loud moments with Sandi in charge than with Stephen. I think she's done a great job and hope she and Alan stay all the way through to Z's.

 

[SpideyGirl]

I noticed that too Penners :dance:

 

[Dotsie]

Annoying though that the last two episodes were devoted to 'best bits'. That's cheating! :naughty:
