The eighth series of ''[[QI]]'', the [[BBC]] comedy [[panel game]] [[television show]] hosted by [[Stephen Fry]], started on 17 September 2010. As each series of ''QI'' is based around a letter of the alphabet, all questions in the series had themes beginning with the letter "h". Series H was aired on [[BBC One]]. It was the first series of the show to be aired in high definition (HD).

== Episodes ==
As with the previous series, series H featured a total of 16 editions. During recordings, there was a return of the game that Stephen Fry had set up for his [[Twitter]] followers during the previous series through [[AudioBoo]]. As before, the object was to decipher a word the audience shouts out, this time for words beginning with the letter "H". Debutant panellists for this series were; [[Chris Addison]], [[Clare Balding]], [[Eddie Izzard]], [[John Lloyd (writer)|John Lloyd]], [[Ross Noble]], [[Daniel Radcliffe]], [[Ruby Wax]] and [[Robert Webb (actor)|Robert Webb]]. Lloyd is ''QI''{{'}}s creator and former producer, while Izzard was a panellist in the unaired pilot of the programme, but until this series had yet to feature in the actual televised show. This was also the first series not to feature [[Clive Anderson]] as a guest.
