'QI at its best is sort of what television is about . when I watch the show when I'm - you know when I'm not on it - I'll watch it and you find it's just time spent in good company.'

'Fascinating ... The answers to the questions you never even thought to ask.'

'We, generally, as people, humans, retain far more information than we're actually aware of on a daily basis. And what this programme does, is actually by a series of sort of randomly opening doors and switching on and off of synapses unlocks all this information that hitherto you probably didn't even know you knew.'
