I too, would love to see more ladies on the show. <br /> A great guest I reckon would make a brilliant addition is Dr Karl (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr_Karl_Kruszelnicki)" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr_Karl_Kruszelnicki)</a>, but I fear he may be too obscure for the likes of British TV. He does feature prominently on Australian TV and could be great for a nerd-off between him and Stephen. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/who-should-be-guests-on-qi#post-125479 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 18:03:52 +0000 C.D. 125479@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ I'd rather like to see Dylan Moran on this here show...

They've had Clarkson on, who - though I'm one of about nine or ten people who actually like the man, it seems - is an obnoxious thug, whereas Cap'n Slow is pretty charming and knowledgeable. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/who-should-be-guests-on-qi#post-116517 Sat, 07 Mar 2009 14:53:23 +0000 Help 116517@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ I'd hate to state the obvious but, James May?<br /> &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif&quot; title=&quot;:-D&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/who-should-be-guests-on-qi#post-116511 Sat, 07 Mar 2009 14:48:10 +0000 Rain Dog 116511@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ I'd love to see Angus Deayton on QI &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif&quot; title=&quot;:D&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/who-should-be-guests-on-qi#post-112141 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 23:39:57 +0000 canuckuk 112141@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ How about Tony Robinson and perhaps Phil from Time Team?<br /> <br /> I would really like to see Cement Freud. Since the loss of John Mortimer, I've been feeling we should see more of our great senior raconteurs. Could you imagine Peter Ustinov on QI?

Buzzcocks seems to have done a fairly thorough job of putting him off.<br /> <br /> As for who I'd like to see on the show, I think it would be nice to continue in the still relatively unexplored vein of inviting guests who aren't necessarily professional comedians,or related to that industry. Pam Ayres springs to mind as having been particularly wonderful, and she held her own against some more boisterous personalities quite impressively.<br /> <br /> The name of the show is 'Quite Interesting', and it does seem as though genuine grey matter is overlooked on occasion (a recent example being Ben Miller's genuinely 'quite interesting' attempt to explain the Higgs' Boson). I'd rather be periodically amused and intrigued than spend an entire episode in stitches, which tends to happen anyway. Miriam Morgolyes, Michael Palin, Harry Hill (yes - Harry Hill), and Miranda Richardson would all make good panelists, in my humblest of onions.<br /> <br /> I think my ideal panel would happen in series 'R' (for resurrection); Oscar Wilde, Frank Zappa and Noël Coward. Louis XIV can replace Alan for that show.<br /> <br /> Male heavy, but oh the hilarity which would ensue in the crossfire.<br /> <br /> <br /> Incidentally: ooh, first post and all that. Hello, everyone. My name is... Benjamin.<br /> <br /> Took me half a pint of Murphy's to write all that.
