"And there I was thinking that Stephen Fry was the fount of all knowledge, brain the size of a planet etc etc"
I met John Lloyd, who devised and (I think) still produces QI (as well as co-writing the sublime "Meaning of Liff" with Douglas Adams). I remarked that the erudite Mr Fry seemed ideal to chair QI, with his apparent facility for trivia...
JL: "Well, it's very carefully scripted, you know..."
Obviously not THAT carefully in this instance...
