Actor, comedian, writer, and audio book narrator of the UK
Harry Potter series Stephen Fry was recently interviewed by
Radio Times about the upcoming H series of his comedy panel game television programme,
QI. In particular, Stephen spoke about why he asked
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe to be a guest panelist for the Halloween special, which will focus on "lots of Hobgoblins and Hogwarts-type things."
Quote:
"He's a very bright chap and he has what it takes to be a guest on QI, which is to be curious. Because if you are curious, a) you will be interested by what's coming and you fire off it and b) in the rest of your life you will have garnered odd facts. Not in a sort of anal 'I collect trivia sort of way', but just because you are curious."
The H series of
QI begins on September 17th on BBC One; Dan's Halloween episode will air on October 29, 2010. We will have clips and previews of the programme when they are made available online.
