Stephen Fry is to step down as the host of BBC Two comedy quiz show QI after 13 years.
The presenter said it was "one of the best jobs on television" but felt "it was time to move on".
He will be replaced by Sandi Toksvig, who called it her "dream job". She stood down as chair of BBC Radio Four's The News Quiz earlier this year after a 10-year run.
Alan Davies will remain as resident panellist.


Quite interesting news

Love that programme, and Toksvig is not without talent but it won’t be anywhere near as good now.  Why the fk didn’t they give David Mitchell the gig – a blindingly obvious choice imo, if he wanted it.

iirc Alan Davies said a couple of years back they'd had their fees cut and were only continuing for the craic.

Mitchell already does a similar show on the radio and is a fixture on Would I Lie To You?.

Toksvig is an insufferable bore and a feminista to boot.

Oh no, I like Fry, QI is worth a watch, but toksvig .. well I wasn't a fan anyway but she was on Question Time the other week and from what I remember was really irritating. Kind of like Polly Toynbee stuffed into a bikers jacket.

Toksvig reasonably funny and quite intelligent ideal for that type of show I would have thought.

Toksvig is the thinking man's Claire Balding. Sometimes it's just better to live in ignorance.

You're always talking about yourself man. The discussion is Mr Fry.

Toksvig has turned that other Quiz Show - 'Fifteen to One' - into an aggressive encounter - Her versus the contestants ... rather than being an interesting intellectual offering.

You banged that drum about the spelling but nobody came to your rescue you poor sick puppy because everybody saw what a dope you were. However, I'll let you off n this one seeing as you missed your turn on your grandma this evening and you'll have to go to the back of the line again sucker.

Is it compulsory to be a left wing homosexual to work for the BBC.

She is worse than useless,she will turn the programme into a campaign.

Yes. That is why they had to get rid of the right wing heterosexual Jeremy Clarkson after 20 years.

Unless your daughter wants to marry Stephen Fry or your son has the horn for Sandi Toksvig, why does it matter? Are you worried they will leap through the screen and start dry-humping your granny?
Report wildmanfromborneo • October 15, 2015 11:50 AM BST
It matters because their liberal views are reflected in all programmes.

It matters because right wing views are ridiculed on all BBC programmes.

Don't be so hard on acquiesce old boy. He carries a heavy burden knowing that if we killed everybody who thought he was a complete bellend, it wouldn't be classed as murder but an apocalypse. Poor sucker started life just like the rest of us as an egg. He just didn't get fertilisised.
