What? because he was having a go at Clarkson? and not sticking the knife into Corbyn like Clarkson and Hislop were

She was appalling on the news quiz. So partisan that the whole thing became a competition to see who was more of a liberal lefty. Vile, smug condescending wretch that she is.
She is a witch, utterly despicable.
I must say I find it strangely comforting when Yompy and Coan hate something I like. It's like a seal of approval on my taste

Chip met her, was interviewed by her. She said that ST was a lovely, friendly person. That's good enough for me.
She's an excellent choice. Fry's ego, his 'experiments' and all that good evening rubbish was the worse thing about the show. Apart from Davies being a Gooner

Re: Steven Fry to leave QI
Can't stand SF - so smug he makes the late Robert Robinson look and sound like a lagered-up meth head off Jeremy Kyle. Nor do I much care for those panel type games with which they fill the gaps in the schedules between the endless reality/Kardashian-type shows. As a result, I've hardly ever watched more than about 30 seconds of QI whilst channel hopping
From what little I've seen/heard of ST (pretty sure she's on an afternoon quiz show), I find the forced sing-song cadence of her voice intensely irritating. That said, used to know her brother Nick at Hull Uni quite well and he was a splendid chap so don't suppose she can be all bad

Re: Steven Fry to leave QI
I saw Sandi present Fifteen-To-One recently, can't say that I dug her that much over a whole hour of broadcast and considering Fry's fairly dominant on QI it could be a bit of a slog- but she is funny and whip-smart so she'd be definitely good for a retort towards Alan Cuntybollocks.....

If only they cane up with a quiz show featuring down and outs with each week's winner being allowed to take a big bite out of the aforementioned Mr Cuntybollocks

Re: Steven Fry to leave QI
David Mitchell would be an obvious choice, he's doing a similar type of radio show. Ideally you would want someone with a fair degree of knowledge at their disposal and a pleasant voice-presenting style. I didn't mind Fry at all, he certainly copped his fair share of insults (the Luvvy-forfeit was brilliant!) and he possessed all of the necessary traits to keep the show flowing. Recognized presenters like Clive Anderson aren't bad either.

Anderson and Davies would be a Gooner love-in.
Mitchell would be fine, I agree, and so would his Mrs.

It's total shit. I'd rather watch storage hunters than that load of psuedo intellectual toss. Fucking sue perkins and alan davies and all those cunts. Wretched telly

Me too. Although I prefer it when they have more interesting guests, rather than just the usual comedy panel whores.
