Why is qi back on bbc2

The forthcoming tenth series, which will transmit in the autumn, will see the show return to a post-watershed slot on BBC Two, after three series in an early evening slot on the network's flagship channel, BBC One. The move is being seen as an attempt to bring back the show's sharp humour which some believe has been lost since the move to BBC One.

Fans have criticised the most recent series of QI on internet message boards for not being as interesting or as funny as previous series, with the need to keep the show 'mainstream' in its pre-watershed slot being seen as one major reason for these complaints occurring. Today's announcement by the BBC is likely to be seen by such fans as a welcome u-turn from the corporation. But I'll be very pleased to see QI back on Two, custom-built for a post watershed slot where I guess it might dare to be even more interesting.

BBC Two looks forward to once again enjoying its wit, its cleverness and its always illuminating devotion to the really quite interesting. John Lloyd , creator and series producer of the show, says: " QI did very well in the ratings on BBC One but we thought we ought to give Coronation Street a fighting chance.

Nothing wrong with a woman at the helm - perhaps some other BBC programs should take the hint! Ruff and Reddy. Road and Rail.
