Stephen Fry has stepped down as host, to be replaced by Sandi Toksvig.
I'm happy to let anyone win the great british bake-off, but in this case i'll be banging the anti-PC brigade drum for Toksvig's appointment. Although they could've done worse, i'm sure someone at the beeb was keen for Jack Whitehall to get the gig.
Even if you don't care for Fry in other parts of his career, he was masterful in his role at QI.

They should just cancel it. Stephen Fry was the show IMO.

Q.I. built a niche for itself as a more highbrow panel show purely because of Fry. Its fans could laugh at Jimmy Carr making the same knob jokes he makes elsewhere and still feel middle class because every so often Fry would say something clever. Without his presence it's just another 8 out of 10 Cats or whatever.
