Summary: Stephen Fry presents this comedy panel game where artistic licence is king. Fry is joined by four others each episode and the point of the game is to come up with the most elaborate answer, as opposed to actually being right.

Fortunately, you don’t have to be anywhere near as clever and quick-witted as Stephen Fry to enjoy the majesty of Q.I.’s second series. Brought together in its entirety in this DVD set, it’s that rarest of things: a timeless panel show that can be enjoyed over and over again.

What structure there is to Q.I. proves simply to be a platform for questions about obscure topics, and the equally obscure, and quite interesting, answers that follow. It’s a simple idea, majestically realised. With panelists who are genuinely funny and interesting--series regular Alan Davies is joined by the likes of Dara O’Briain, Sean Lock, Rich Hall and the late Linda Smith--each episode is a glorious slice of comedy that you could never accuse of dumbing down.

The theme for this series of Q.I., as you probably guessed from the DVD title, is the letter B, and that’s the glue that holds all the answers together. Yet guiding the show is the quite brilliant Stephen Fry, in a show he was simply made to host. Very funny, quick and--yes!--quite interesting too, he’s simply superb here.

A terrific antidote to the lazy panel show that too often infests our screens, Q.I. is priceless television, and this B series is simply not to be missed. --Jon Foster
