In the RT Stephen Fry reveals that the panel doesn't get to see the questions before the show, except for one reasonably regular guest who insists on seeing them. He doesn't say who it is. Who do we think it is ?

Ah, that's why he irritatingly always gives the obvious but wrong answer.

John Sessions. Mind you, he's always that smug.

Sean Lock.

John Sessions was my guess too.

Jimmy Carr?

It's the contestants not the quiz master. He has the answers anyway

Jimmy Carr is another good suggestion though.

No one's guessed 'Clarkson' yet & we're on page 2

When were Eddie Izzard & Wogan on? I thought I'd seen every edition of QI & can't remember seeing either on it.

I was just about to say Clarkson. Seems obvious to me.
