About the Author/作者介绍： John Lloyd has a broadcasting background. As a radio producer he devised The News Quiz and To the Manor Born before moving to television to start Not the Nine O’Clock News, Spitting Image, and Blackadder. If pressed, he’d concur with Heraclitus: ’abundance of knowledge does not teach men to be wise.’ John Mitchinson is from the world of books. The original Marketing Director of Waterstone’s, he became Managing Director of Cassell, where he published The Beatles, Michael Palin and Brewer’s Dictionary of Phrase and Fable. He is fond of quoting American writer Ambrose Bierce: ’knowledge is the small part of ignorance that we arrange and classify.’ The BBC One panel show QI first aired on the BBC in September 2003 with John Lloyd producing and John Mitchinson in charge of the research. www.qi.com
