A strange article in the Daily Mail about how “A legendary BBC quiz show has confirmed its return to screens 23 years on from the airing of its first ever episode”.

From the way that is written you would think it was the resurrection of something that had been off-air for years. Instead of just being the next series of QI coming out next month.

Nothing earth shattering in the article.

• Series W has been filmed and is locked and loaded for broadcast on BBC2
• Jimmy is in one of the episodes

The BBC site hasn’t got the full list of episode names / dates listed yet but, when they’re released, details will be added to Jimmy’s list of QI Appearances – here.

The first series W episode is on October 24th 2025 – here.

Update 23/10 – first episode listings are now the BBC site (here) but Jimmy’s appearance isn’t showing yet.

Update 10/11 – the listings are published for end of Nov – still no sign and the guests up to Dec 11 have been posted (here). Is he going to be on a Christmas episode??

Update 29/11 – now confirmed as the Christmas show – see here. Winter Wonderland.
