QI?

[cupid04]

Anyone know why tonight's edition of QI listed in the tv mags was pulled
and a repeat of the show put on instead? Might it have something to do
with our beloved Jeremy Clarkson was one of those listed to appear?

Maybe he was going to say something non-controversial and they pulled it to save his reputation?

Got it in one Cupid... I read about it online earlier. Really silly if you ask me...

[ummmm]

<The programme was filmed over the summer but the channel said, in light of the recent events, some of his comments might be taken out of context.>

Just might? They would be gleefully taken out of context....

Thanks for that. Mr. cupid was moaning about yet more repeats! I shall go
and soothe his brow!

Funnily enough, though, the BBC1 announcer said "and over on BBC 2 now - QI with Jeremy Clarkson, Dara O'Briain and Ross Noble". So the news hadn't even reached them!

I wondered what was going on.

Seems silly to me. The media intentionally edited his comments on The One Show to create a storm. 90% of the complaints received were from people who didn't even see the show and were unaware of the full transcript.

I know he's not exactly Mr. Popular at the best of times but surely everyone knows he purposefully sets out to be controversial?
