Might be a bit of a long shot ... but doesn't anyone have any idea why the BBC is not broadcasting the remaining QI XL episodes?

I know they have always been behind the short version and at the start of the most recent season the XL episodes were 3 weeks behind but up until now the BBC has at least broadcast XL episodes within a few weeks of the "normal" episode going to air.

The ABC (AU) which is currently broadcasting the 'P' series on Wednesday night (on their primary channel) has dropped the XL episodes entirely ... in the past the XL episode was broadcast on ABC2/Comedy channel the following night.

Would like to know why the BBC is giving the cold shoulder to the XL version.

Oh well, will just have to watch the short version next Wednesday night on the ABC .... better than no QI at all.

i think it's due to a complicaton of delay in editing but also trying to juggle the xl episodes to fit with in their scedules. anyhoo it looks like the last two episodes are due to be back on air starting from August 9th, 9.45pm. ;)
