XLs?

Does anyone know about the XLs? They alway came the next day. Since series P eeks later. And now no XLs for weeks, all the lastest shows still missing. Any idea? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.71.64.201 (talk) 08:56, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

On 6 April they tweeted that "the rest of QI XL Series P will be broadcast before too long." Radiphus (talk) 09:03, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Revolutions

The Metro - and yes I know it isn't a reliable source - reckons only two episodes were recorded without audiences. Were the last five episodes recorded remotely à la series 59 of Have I Got News for You?--Laun chba ller 17:17, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that at the end of the "Rubbish" episode, Sandi says over the credits that it was the first of two episodes recorded without an audience, but are back to normal the week after, so "Revolutions" should have an audience. The episodes are not broadcast in the order in which they were recorded. ISD (talk) 09:53, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion of information related to upcoming T series

I was wondering whether adding information sourced from the QI forums to the Series T section I have created would be appropriate or not. It contains info regarding the episodes in the forthcoming series and their guests. Of course, we cannot act under the assumption all the information is correct - it is a forum after all, so I am unsure - so should we only add details about future episodes if they are provided by more reliable sources (such as the British Comedy Guide), or the guests themselves (see here)? --Phinbart (talk) 17:13, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Overall count

The “overall” number of 308 to 17 May 2024 doesn't count;

1 pilot

3 specials

1 in series E

30 compilations in series G-U (7-21, 15x2)

So the 308 could be 343.

The overall count for episodes on DVDs at QI#List of releases is 340. The 340 includes the 1 pilot, but not the 3 specials.

Fry hosted 185 not counting the 1 pilot, the 2 specials, and 14 compilations.
