I'm sure I am not the only person to have noticed that Stephen Fry (via his researchers, no doubt) wrongly quoted the 'i' before/after 'e' spelling rule, thereby making a nonsense of it. The correct rule is: When the diphthong rhymes with 'key', the 'i' goes before the 'e', except after 'c'. The only exceptions to this are 'weir' and 'weird'. So it can be seen that the words 'hacienda', 'concierge' and 'veil' do not fall into the category above, and therefore are not exceptions.I and countless thousands of pupils have followed this rule over the years and see no reason for it to be discontinued as a teaching guide.Having said all this, I nevertheless pronounce myself a big fan of the show and hope that it continues for many years.Merry ChristmasErconwald

** Spoilers included - well sort of **I've been a long term fan of QI, I've watched it from the start and always tune in even to the repeats on UKTVG2 (Satellite channel in the UK). I've decided to put in a review as Series 1 has now finally been released on DVD.Stephen Fry is perfect in the role of QI Master asking lots of general knowledge trivia questions that we, the audience and the panelists think we know the answers to, but are usually wrong (How many moons does the Earth have?, not it's not just the one, as we all thought). Alan Davies plays the regular stooge to Fry's Oxbridge smarty pants and usually looses. Joining Alan and Stephen are three other contestants who change each week and comprise of comedians, TV presenters, actors and assorted celebs.Each series has a letter as the common thread, series 1 was A, 2 was B and so on, this means a possible 26 series (I wish). Each question can be rewarded with 5 points for an incorrect but interesting answer or anecdote, 10 points for a correct answer and -10 points for the answer we think is the obvious but always incorrect (accompanied buy a loud siren and the answer flashing up on the screen), other amounts of points are sometimes awarded such as 1 million for recognising the chemical formula for a custard explosion. Also always fun to look out for a lovvie award given to anyone who mentions someone famous in an anecdote.The BBC produces great quiz shows with Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Mock The Week and Have I Got News For You, but for me QI is the best of the bunch.

I really enjoy QI. It has what most 'quiz' show's lack. It never takes itself seriously, the guests are always witty and have fun making the show.Back in 2005 I was lucky to watch them record an episode at the London Studios. What a great night's entertainment. The stuff that they leave out is just as funny so although it takes them over 2 hours to record a show the time flies. Stephen Fry is such a clever man , the best bits are always when the other guests take the pee out of Stephen for being too posh.GREAT ENTERTAINMENT!

What word could sum up this programme? Wonderful? Fascinating? Hilarious? All of the above.As the QI Master, Stephen Fry is as brilliant as ever, and his banter with regular panelist Alan Davies is fabulous - their contrasts just work so well. The things that they talk about are genuinely interesting, and all of our family love it. It appeals to all tastes and senses of humour, as the variety of guests makes the dynamics of the show slightly different each week - and it never falters.I hope that they make 26 series of this - we've just seen series 'C' and I hope they see it all the way through to 'Z'. Marvellous!
