91Èȱ¬

QI, the world's most challenging quiz, is returning to 91Èȱ¬ Two for the forthcoming tenth series which will transmit in the autumn.

George Entwistle, Acting Director, Vision, says: "91Èȱ¬ One has been a wonderful custodian for this enjoyably impossible quiz. But I'll be very pleased to see QI back on Two, custom-built for a post watershed slot where I guess it might dare to be even more interesting."

Janice Hadlow, Controller, 91Èȱ¬ Two, says: "I'm delighted that QI is returning to its original home. 91Èȱ¬ Two looks forward to once again enjoying its wit, its cleverness and its always illuminating devotion to the really quite interesting."

John Lloyd, creator and series producer of QI, says: "QI did very well in the ratings on 91Èȱ¬ One but we thought we ought to give Coronation Street a fighting chance. We're very happy to be back in our old den on 91Èȱ¬ Two."

The award-winning QI launched on 91Èȱ¬ Two in September 2003 and moved to 91Èȱ¬ One in 2009 for three series. It will return to 91Èȱ¬ Two in the autumn.

Host Stephen Fry and regular panellist Alan Davies will both move along with it and will be joined each week by (mostly) willing guests who will try to answer impossibly difficult questions. Any "quite interesting" answer may get a point (whether right or wrong) and penalties will be imposed for obvious wrong answers.

QI is a Quite Interesting talkbackThames production.
