QI

[Antiq]

Penfold - I used to like Michael Palin until I watched his travel show, which was very humourless and noticeably .....what's the word.......not racist, but something like it. His seemed very bemused by all these odd little foreign people. Sort of supercilious.

the maker of QI actually tried to get Michael Palin to present the show. He nearly gave up the idea when he couldn't get him.

Ewww, no. Thank god for that! Stephen Fry is perfection for it.

I could watch Sandi Toksvig and Dara O Briain on anything.

I've never seen this show, I will have to look for it.
I like Fry, I like Sandy Toksvig, and a few others that have been nominated, some I don't know.
I will definitely look for it, hope I can find episodes on you tube

Have a look at the link in my first post on this thread, Cyrs. It's the YouTube link that has all the full episodes on there.

This is probably the most famous bit of fooling on the show so far, followed closely by any of David Mitchell's angry rants about things like bread.

Favourites: David Mitchell, Rich Hall, Jack Dee and Ross Noble.

Kinda in two minds about Jimmy Carr. He's got an annoying laugh, don't like his stage personality but his jokes are usually pretty good.

Not a fan of Phil Jupitus, Sean Lock or Sandi Toksvig.

This is why Jack Dee's one of my faves

This one had me in tears

When I discovered the QI page on YouTube I ended up watching EVERY episode.

Every episode??? Oh that' s great, I'll look it up as soon as possile

 

[Dotsie]

Just watched the pilot, glad they changed the format!

I like Jo Brand. I don't really understand why a lot of people (mostly men I think) say they can't stand her.

 

[Tonyblack]

I like Jo Brand as well - she'd make a great Nanny Ogg.

Did you see the episode where she was on with John Sergent and they said they were brother and sister?

 

[Dotsie]

I know, poor Jo - fancy being told you look like John Sergent!

 

[Tonyblack]

I'd love to see Terry on QI - I bet he'd be brilliant!

By the way, the scoring in that pilot episode was a bit daft, wasn't it?

That's the highest score Alan Davies has ever had.

Isn't nanny meant to be smiley? I don't see Jo smile very often, or do i always miss it?

 

[Tonyblack]

Oh she does smile and even chuckle a lot and there's a real twinkle (sorry Dotsie) in her eye.

 

[Jan Van Quirm]

Jo's brilliant - nobody can heckle back like her

 

[Dotsie]

[Tonyblack]

Sorry for using the word 'twinkle' - I wasn't suggesting you were anything like Nanny Ogg.

Eventually perhaps
