Unlike the Liberal/SDP alliance, they’ve never officially merged into a single party. But as Ed Balls said on the show, with the knife edge between left and right that UK politics is currently on, it’s very unlikely they’ll split any time soon.

Ah, for once, QI should Klaxon itself! In Series F, Episode 5 (France), Stephen asked Alan "Alan. Donne-moi un mot, s'il vous plaît . . . Un mot pour un mammifère marin qui ne peut avaler aucun plus grand qu'un pamplemousse", the answer was the Blue Whale! Same goes for Series K, Episode 9 (Kinetic), "What is the world's biggest animal?", as well as Series L, Episode 10 (Lying), "Can you name a blue sea creature?", and Series L, Episode 13 (Lucky Loosers), "Which mammal had the most cells in its body?"

Also, there have been a few times where the answer _was_ blue whale, including once when it was on screen between an elephant and a giraffe, the question was "What is the world's biggest animal?" in Series K - Episode 9: Kinetic and Alan was afraid to answer, but it was, actually, blue whale. There have been several other times where the answer was blue whale, like it being the largest animal ever, including dinosaurs, one about how much a blue whale could carry, and I'm sure a few others that I've forgotten.
