E Series (2007)
Series E contained the first occasion of a single recurring theme specific to its run: the "Elephant in the Room" card. In each episode, one (or more) of the answers involved elephants. Whoever played their card at the correct time would score 10 bonus points.
A video podcast (featuring the best moments with some out-takes) was planned to accompany this series, but this was instead turned into a set of "Quickies" featured on the QI homepage of the BBC's website. As this decision was not reached until after recording though, they are still referred to as "vodcasts" by whoever is introducing them (usually Fry but occasionally a panellist or even the audience).
This series contained the fewest number of debutants to date. Only two guests, Charlie Higson and Johnny Vegas, had not appeared on the programme before. This series was the first to contain an extra edition of outtakes.

Famous quotes containing the word series:
“Depression moods lead, almost invariably, to accidents. But, when they occur, our mood changes again, since the accident shows we can draw the world in our wake, and that we still retain some degree of power even when our spirits are low. A series of accidents creates a positively light-hearted state, out of consideration for this strange power.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
