A new series of QI starts with Sandi Toksvig taking over as host from Stephen Fry. This brings to mind the many other times there have been changes in personnel on other such shows. Here are some examples.
Call My Bluff
This classic show was revived in 1995 with Bob Holness as host with Alan Coren and (none other than) Sandi Toksvig as team captains. In 2003 Holness was replaced by Fiona Bruce and Toksvig made way for outspoken journalist Rod Liddle. Audiences did not respond well to the changes and the show was axed soon after
Never Mind the Buzzcocks
In 18 years Phil Jupitus was the one constant feature on the show that saw many changes of host and rival team captains.
A Question of Sport
4 hosts and 14 team captains prove testament to the (nearly 40 years) long running show that many people tend to look down their noises at.
They Think it's All Over
The irrelevant sports quiz started with Nick Hancock as host and David Gower and Gary Lineker and finished after 11 years with Lee Mack, Boris Becker and Ian Wright filling those roles.
