QI is Tops!
I have a regions free DVD player, so was very happy to find some QI on DVD. I have access to the series via the internet, but I enjoy having the subtitles available on DVD, so my husband, who has a difficult time with the many different English language accents, can follow along without too much difficulty.The program is witty, chock full of excellent players, and sometimes a bit ribald, but always Quite Interesting!

Gimme More QI!
Why can't American TV do anything this intelligent, convivial, and zany? If you like to think and like to laugh, QI fits the bill. I just wish these shows aired in the US. Until then, I'll keep buying up whatever QI series are available on DVD. And, no, you can't borrow my copies. I'm not letting them out of my sight!

QI game show
While visiting family in the UK, I was introduced to this BBC game show and IMMEDIATELY became "hooked"!!!! I have had more than my share of "withdrawals" upon returning to the USA. The Jordie dialect was difficult to understand, but other panelists were easily understood. I laughed and learned while watching QI. WISH WE HAD IN USA!!!

QI Series One
Series is okay - I didn't quite know what to expect and ordered this series based on recommendation of a friend. We like Stephen Fry very much as an actor but will stick with his portrayal of characters in other roles.

FANTASTIC and also quite interesting
Fantastic! As a US fan, this saves me from having to use my internet bandwidth to watch QI. My only problem is that I'm almost done with the DVD, and am about to go into withdrawal until I can get the next order. Educational and hysterically funny...

Un-playable in USA
I'm from the United States and these DVD's refuse to play in my DVD player. Very sad

QI British TV Series
Frankly put, this series is one of the best: part game show mock format and part comedy. The show is intelligently entertaining and most times hysterically funny. The comedic guests and Stephen Fry are brilliant. Highly, highly recommended.
