Series G

This is a list of episodes of QI, the BBC comedy panel game television programme hosted by Stephen Fry. Series H will be aired on BBC One. It may also be the first series of the show to be aired in high definition (HD).

The first series started on 11 September 2003. Although not mentioned at the time, all of the questions (with the exception of the final "general ignorance" round) were on subjects beginning with "a" (such as "arthropods," "Alans" and "astronomy"). The following six series continued the theme: the second series' subjects all began with "b" and so on.

H Series (2010-2011)

As with the previous series, series H will feature a total of 16 editions. During recordings, there was a return of the game that Stephen Fry had set up for his Twitter followers during the previous series through AudioBoo. As before, the object was to decipher a word the audience shouts out, this time for words beginning with the letter "H". New panelists appearing in this series are; Chris Addison, Clare Balding, Eddie Izzard, John Lloyd, Ross Noble, Daniel Radcliffe, Ruby Wax and Robert Webb. Lloyd is QI's creator and former producer, while Izzard was a panelist in the unaired pilot of the programme, but until this series had yet to feature in the actual televised show.
