How to watch ‘QI’ season 22 online — stream ‘series V’ from anywhere

Persevering with the encyclopedic tradition of focusing an entire series on a single letter of the alphabet, “QI” season 22 sees Sandi Toksvig, Alan Davies and a rotating trio of guests — no repeat business — dig deep to harvest gentle laughs and quite interesting tidbits concerning the letter V, one of the most tragic letters of them all.

Here’s how to watch “QI” season 22 online from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for free.

Like many of this season’s guest stars, for most of its existence the letter V has been in the grips of an identity crisis. That’s because it was born from the letter U, and for centuries the two were used interchangeably, the rule of thumb being that the letter V could start words, but the letter U would take things from there.

If they hadn’t been formally uncoupled — but forced to live side-by-side forevermore — in the 18th century, “vaguely intriguing but ultimately useless” would be “vaguely intriguing but vltimately vseless”. Which rather neatly sums up the show.

By that logic, series V could be considered season 21 part II, but we’ll let the experts get into that. Read on to find out how to watch “QI” season 22 online, on TV and from anywhere.
