QI Season 21: U Fantasy Panel

 QI is a BBC quiz program developed and hosted by Stephen Fry with each season's topics being based on the next letter of the Alphabet.  Fry hosted for the first 13 seasons from A to M.  Then he relinquished the job to fellow erudite
comedian, Sandi Toksvig who has continued for the past 7 seasons.  Season 21, featuring the letter U is set to broadcast sometime soon--the BBC's scheduling is a mystery to me.

The format is a series of esoteric questions around a letter based theme.  Sandi asks the questions and moderated the responses while providing additional information about the question.  Alan Davies is a regular panelist and has been from the beginning.  The other three panelists change from episode to episode.

With Season 21 pending, and the themes based on ideas starting with the letter "U," this is my fantasy episode.  The theme is the "Underworld," and joining Alan on the Panel are Gyles Brandreth, Susan Calman, and Sara Pascoe.
