Quite Interesting, or QI, is a British panel quiz show which deals in all things interesting. It's hosted by Stephen Fry, one of my personal heros, and has a range of regular gets including Bill Bailey, Rich Hall, Sean Lock, Jo Brand, John Sessions, Clive Anderson and more, with Alan Davis as a permanent panellist.
Wiki explains that..
Most of the questions are extremely obscure, making it unlikely that the correct answer will be given. As a result points are awarded not only for right answers, but also for interesting ones, regardless of whether they are right or even relate to the original question. Conversely, points are deducted from a panellist who gives, "answers which are not only wrong, but pathetically obvious", typically answers that are generally believed to be true but are not.
I bring this up because I've just finished uploading Series A of QI on to youtube, so I invite you all to come check out this brilliant show, to laugh and to learn something quite interesting.

If you go to 'playlists' I've created an ordered playlist for all the episodes.
