The QI boxsets: a second pedantic look
In May 2017, I wrote a piece for On The Box about the first two QI boxsets, covering the first seven series. As I had heard from the show's researchers, the QI elves, that I was mentioned in these boxsets for my pedantry, I decided to cover them in a pedantic way. I have now done the same with the two most recent collections, covering Series H-J and Series K-M respectively.

Daniel Earl, The Express and Star, 8th October 2017Review - Phill Jupitus: Juplicity
Not so much about the big laughs (although there are a handful), but instead a most hospitable evening of good-natured craic, affable anecdote and a few poetic party-pieces.
