The chapter in his book where he talks about doing panel shows is called "Being Myself." He talks about how nervous he was for his first QI appearance (Series C - Corby), and says it took him a while to relax and just be himself on camera after so many years of playing scripted comic characters. He also says he came to enjoy it so much that he keeps agreeing to do panel show appearances even when it's not a smart career move for him. So any time he's on a panel show from about 2005-2006 on, that's just who he is, perhaps exaggerated by excitement about being on the show.
