I'm not surprised.The show had run its course. I lost interest after Simon Anstell left, and it then became a merry go round of presenters. Seemed to lose its anarchistic edge and become mainstream.
I always liked the identity parade guess the artist 20 years on segment.

I liked this during the early days with Mark Lamarr and Sean Hughes but that Noel Fielding gets on my thrupennies so now rarely watch it.
I haven't checked out the top five moments yet because I'm on my commute and the signal is intermittent, but one for me was when Suggs was on the show and for the "what happened next?" round the had Chris Eubank doing the chart rundown. If it is not in the top five I'll add the YouTube clip later.

As promised, here is the clip of when Suggs was on the show and for the "what happened next?" round the had Chris Eubank doing the chart rundown:
Cruel I know, but it still cracks me up!

I also drifted out of watching it a long time ago (probably early 2000s). But good memories of it in the earlier days with Lamarr/Jupitus/Hughes.

Probably the right decision as it's run its course and isn't really interesting anymore. Didn't really go out my way to watch it but didn't mind it when it had Lamarr/Hughes/Jupitius hosting but since they all left I can't really be bothered with it these days. Also after nearly 20 odd years it's a bit stale in my opinion. Still had its moments and not a bad show overall.

I'm with most of you on this one. Used to enjoy the early ones, but then realised I wasn't watching it and didn't miss it. Used to like the bit where they sung the intro's (you could tell the people who could actually hold a note, and those who couldn't!) Apparently Fry's stepping down from QI too, so Auntie is obviously having to shake up Light Entertainment a bit.

The guest presenter idea worked well for a couple of series but Rhod Gilbert killed it off. The show had a great run but not surprised auntie gave it the old elbow.
