Qi on Prime
9:35pm Thursday, September 16 on Prime
Game Show
On tonight's episode of series 7 of Qi, we're tackling the topic 'Girls and Boys'. Joining host Stephen Fry and sidekick Alan Davies are English standup Comedian and Actor Jack Dee, Actress and Author Ronni Ancona and Comedian and Presenter Sandi Toksvig. Quite Interesting (or 'Qi' to its friends) can loosely be described as a comedy panel quiz. However, none of the stellar line-up of comedians is expected to be able to answer any questions, and if anyone ends up with a positive score, they can be more than thrilled with their performance. Points are awarded for being interesting or funny (and, very occasionally, right) but points are deducted for answers which merely repeat common misconceptions and urban myth.
