Biography

Alan Roger Davies, a multifaceted English entertainer of considerable renown, has left an indelible mark on the realms of comedy, writing, and acting, thereby solidifying his position as a stalwart figure in the entertainment industry.

His crowning achievement to date, and a testament to his enduring talent, is his portrayal of the eponymous character in the highly acclaimed BBC mystery drama series Jonathan Creek, a role he has skillfully embodied since 1997.

Notable television personality and renowned comedian, Stephen Fry, initially hosted the BBC panel show QI from 2003 to 2016, while Davies, a talented and versatile individual, made a remarkable contribution to the program, serving as the sole permanent panelist since 2003, displaying unwavering dedication and commitment to the show.

Davies's remarkable tenure on QI has been a testament to his enduring popularity and the immense value he brings to the program, having outlasted the original host, Stephen Fry, who, after a successful nine-year run, bid farewell to the show in 2016, paving the way for Davies to solidify his position as a mainstay of the program, further cementing his status as a beloved and integral part of the QI family.

As the programme's stalwart and unwavering presence, Davies continued to dazzle audiences with his exceptional wit and intellect, his dynamic partnership with the charismatic and erudite Sandi Toksvig, who took the reins as host in 2016, being a particular highlight of the show's enduring success, as the duo's synergy and camaraderie brought a fresh and exciting energy to the proceedings, cementing the programme's position as a beloved and integral part of popular culture.
