QI on BBC1?

Aug 23, 2008 10:02

I daresay some of you already know, what with DigitalSpy and the Teletext, but just in case some of you don't then it's likely that QI will transfer over to BBC1 this autumn and therefore has worried people that the format will be somewhat altered in future ( Read more... )

I hope so too - they made them change A Bit of Fry and Laurie when they moved. The official website still says BBC2 though so I'm hoping for no move.

they made them change A Bit of Fry and Laurie when they moved. *whimpers and covers ears* No speakey the evil happenings!

I really hope they just leave the QI format alone. It works wonders, and judging by what happened to AboFaL, you'd think they'd leave it be.

..now they'll probably go change it 'cause I said they should leave it..

Interesting.

hobnobofjoy mentioned something about a Non-celeb version, she was part off it, maybe that's gonna be BBC1 and The Celeb one stays BBC2. *Shrugs*

What did they do to Fry and Laurie?

OK a few things to clear up here because there's quite a bit of confusion around this.

It isn't yet confirmed that Qi will move to BBC1. Negotiations are still under way but it is highly probable that a move will take place. However, as far as the first series on BBC1 will go there will be NO changes. As you know the F series has already been recorded and it is too late to make major changes to the format.

The QI Test*, mentioned above hasn't even made it to the stage of a pilot yet and only finished the run-throughs just over a month ago so that won't make it to TV for a quite a while. That is more likely to be on BBC2 but it won't be in the prime time slot that QI would vacate if it moves. I was at one of them with hobnobofjoy but we're not supposed to discuss them in detail for obvious reasons.

A quick side note. ABOFL isn't an accurate comparison here. A better comparison would be HIGNFY which hardly made any changes at all when it moved. I think the only thing they could change for Qi at the moment would be the opening credits and frankly that's not a major loss.
