From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Late last year, Stephen Fry announced he would no longer be hosting QI, leaving the door wide open for someone equally clever and witty to host.
Recurring panelist Sandi Toksvig was immediately moved into his position, describing the role as her "dream job”. Alan Davies confirmed he will remain a resident panelist.
Now, after quite some waiting, QI is returning to our TV screens, with the BBC offering up their first clip of Toksvig presenting the show.
As always, the panelists are asked a difficult question that they struggle to answer, with Davis offering a nugget of wisdom. Eventually, he asks Toksvig a question back concerning the correct grammatical way to say “the police are quizzing a subject” to which she answers “that comes from inquisitive and inquisition”.
“You’ve got it, you’re in the right chair,” says Davis in response, a reference to her replacing Fry. Other guests on what will be the first episode of Series N are Cariad Lloyd, Romesh Ranganathan, and Phill Jupitus.
QI begins again on Friday 21 October at 10pm on BBC2.
