Piers Fletcher, QI’s series producer, said: “It’s been a wild QI ride through the alphabet, but here we are at the letter V and, after 22 years, I think we’re really getting the hang of it. But don’t take my word for it – watch the new series and prepare to be amused, amazed, and (who knows?) maybe even aroused. We couldn’t be prouder of Sandi and Alan and all the wonderful guests who have delivered perhaps our best series yet.”
