I wasn't hoping for much when Stephen Fry left the show, and the first few minutes gave me cause for concern.
The scripted opening to the show had Toksvig doing a poor impression of Fry and the first couple of questions were stagnant and the jokes and laughter seemed a bit forced.
But the show did get back into its usual stride by mid way through and by the end the quality was almost indistinguishable from the previous versions.
Hopefully the series continues at this level for the remainder of the alphabet.
