³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

QI, the world's most challenging quiz, is returning to ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Two for the forthcoming tenth series which will transmit in the autumn.

George Entwistle, Acting Director, Vision, says: "³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ 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, ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Two, says: "I'm delighted that QI is returning to its original home. ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ 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 ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ 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 ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Two."

The award-winning QI launched on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Two in September 2003 and moved to ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ One in 2009 for three series. It will return to ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ 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.
