Just a quick note about the new series - fantastic entertainment as per normal.
However - in their round up of dangerous Australian spiders they actually showed a common and widespread UK spider which isn't dangerous. 
It's Textrix denticulata not an Australian funnel web (Hexathelidae) as was quoted on QI.
Guess a researcher messed up, so don't panic if you see one!

Evening Des,
It must have been a last-minute research thing, a QI - Quick Identification 
Thanks for telling us... though I didn't see it myself.
Take care, Jason  |

Rats! I forgot about this. Never mind, it's repeated on Monday at 22:00 on BBC2 (or 23:20 if you're in Northern Ireland).
