As an American who only discovered the brilliant joy that is Qi within the last year ( I can't believe it took this long), I can't say thanks enough for helping to make the world that much more delightful. It makes my brain effervesce. Wonderful.
each series begins with the letter of the alphabet, Alan Davies announced this on Jonathon Ross a while back, so there are quite a few more series to go
I think the QI elves should combine an XL version with this viewpoint WITH some extra pre and post show footage for Youtube. That way we get the walk through the halls, the taping of the show and so on all from Alan's or Stephen's POV.
Frankly I've always thought David Mitchell was more a Mac, deeper and more useful than he appears where as Webb is actually a flash git who doesn't have to deal with anything except Facebook. Sad really but I have to stay in on friday night?sat morning till all the popular people come back and then I lock up the bail hostel :)
I was there too. Twas very funny, though as I recally, the recording was one of the longest they've done. It's nakkering being an appreciative audience for so long.
OMG I can't believe this is posted by Alan!!! Thank youuuuu - How I wanted to fly to London just to watch the taping of the show.. but this is just as cool!
Oh brilliant, thanking you muchly for posting this. It's the closest I'll ever get to knowing what it feels like to be on a panel show. It's weird seeing that familiar studio from the alternative angle.
This is so surreal. It's a bit like those London anti-war demonstrations in years gone by, where one of the real spectacles was the sheer number of people videoing the event.
A great little video there Alan. I was sat in the front row on the left (camera left). I also had a notebook and pen, I needed those notes for my blog :-)

We definitely need more behind the scenes stuff of QI. MAYBE with a slightly better quality camera though.
