* ButtMonkey: Alan Davies.

to:

* ButtMonkey: Alan Davies.  Notable are when he got a forfeit for his answer to "How are you?" and the time Stephen ''[[YouCantWin hooked his buzzer to the klaxon]]''.

Added lines 41:

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking
-->[''on using horses to catch electric eels'']
-->'''Stephen Fry''': And the poor horses, of course, often had heart attacks and died of fright and drowned and got very upset, so it was rather mean.
-->''Jo Brand'': "Got very upset"?
-->'''Stephen Fry'': Yes.  "Distressed" is the word we use with animals.
-->''Alan Davies'': "I don't like it in the water w' the eels!  Oowwwwwwwwwwwwww!"

Added line 55:

** Also, Stephen told the audience to sing the German national anthem.  They sang the opening phrase of ''Deutcheland Uber Alles'', the first verse of which is no longer used, and this got them the first-ever audience forfeit.

Added line 53:

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Jo Brand.  Nearly all the smart-ass answers to the question get buzzed, except hers, which no one could have thought of.

Added lines 87:

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters : Averted- of all the BBC PanelGames, this is the worst offender for repeat guests, possibly bar MockTheWeek. This is probably due to not having any fixed 'theme' to the show, so they're unable to pluck participants from the worlds of [[HaveIGotNewsForYou politics and media]], [[NeverMindTheBuzzcocks music]] or [[AQuestionOfSport sport]], and must make do with a limited number of comedians.
* NoExportForYou: The cost of clearing the rear-projected images for international showing has [[IncrediblyLamePun put paid]] to no fewer than four attempts to bring the programme stateside. However, in 2009 Series F was broadcast in Australia. Also, the show has been remade for the Dutch market.

Added line 95:

** Possibly an aversion of EditedForSyndication, as the repeats on Dave for the F series is exclusively showing ''QI XL'' and not the normal version.
