Im slightly confused, this week we had an episode called "I-spy" with Sandi Toksvig, Lee Mack and Jimmy Carr. Was this an old episode? I hadnt seen it before, but it could have been a repeat. I knew they had to change the episode they were going to screen - good to Jeremy - foot in mouth again!

Yeah, I believe that was the first episode of the series. Was so disappointed there wasn't a new ep!

Through the amazingness that is the internet, you can find the "missing" episode on youtube. I have to warn you guys, though, it was a somewhat mediocre episode. I did finish it, but after that I rewatched the "making of" episode since that one has so many good bits.

I usually find that episodes with Jeremy Clarkson are not the greatest ones. Though I enjoyed the one where David Mitchell ranted at Jeremy Clarkson. What is this "making of" episode?

QI Genesis, a one-hour making of basically all about how the show came together in the first place, how the elves come up with questions, who was the host they wanted before they got Stephen etc. They also chat to a bunch of regular guests, and Alan of course.

Thank you for telling me about this! Not being British I usually get my QI fix via Youtube and that would have totally slipped by me.

Attention everyone!

NickFromFulham has been taken down from Youtube for posting the episode "Idleness". We're complaining directly to BBC [through their website] -- please support.

Nick is back on Youtube as "nickfromfulhamagain." I'm sure it will take him quite awhile to upload everything again.
Youtube users might consider subscribing or "liking" his channel, or even just posting a nice comment in return for his time and hard work.
