QI

[Dotsie]

When he started presenting QI

 

[TiffanyAching]

Umm... well Alan Davies obviously, David Mitchell, Dara O'Briain (great comic!) and Jo Brand can be quite funny
I think everyone's okay really, but I didn't like that really loud one who was on the last Christmas episode.. okay sounding a bit stupid now but I can't think of his name

Brian Blessed? Surely not?

 

[TiffanyAching]

Brian Blessed? Surely not?

Ah yeah that's the one.
Sorry, but he's very shouty. :-/ I guess he was kinda funny, but ... I dunno I definitly prefered Radcliffe

Brian Blessed? Surely not?

That should read: Brian Blessed? Surely not?

Have seen some good QI's lately. Will watch it any time, any place, anywhere.

Lockjaw: The correct emergency procedure for disabling Brian Blessed.

@ Tony and Sister

 

[Sister Jennifer]

Tony mentioned having a QI marathon on the Badges topic. I've been watching it lately myself. Here's bit of an old Christmas one I watched that cracked me up. Bill Bailey is hilarious.

 

[Tonyblack]

The great thing is that you can watch all the episodes, including the pilot in full on YouTube and NOT in 10 minute sections.

I came across an episode the other day that had a question that Terry had dealt with in I Shall Wear Midnight.

I couldn't find the whole question, but it's about Rough Music.

 

[Dotsie]

I noticed Chaga's disease got another mention this series (can't remember why), but this time they pronounced it properly and not 'Shagger's' disease for comic effect.

 

[Tonyblack]

I was just watching some of the first series which had Linda Smith on them. She was really good. So sad that she's not with us any more.

 

[SpideyGirl]

Indeed Tony

I don't remember Linda Smith, I will look again at those episodes. I usually like better the episodes with David Mitchell , and also with Rob Brydon or Rich Hall. I don't like Dara O'Brian because I often don't understand him, don't know why but after he says something, when he starts his usual 'uhhhh' at the end, clear sign that he thinks he has said something we should laugh about, I always end up thinking 'what did he say??'

 

[Tonyblack]

Here's a Linda Smith episode.

I like Rich Hall a lot. There was a very good documentary with him (looking at Native Americans in movies) on the other day.

I don't like Lee Mack and don't watch 'Would I Lie To You' mainly because he is on it. I'm not sure why I don't like him, except that I find him annoying.

 

[Tonyblack]

Look familiar?

Paxman wouldn't have allowed that one.

 

[CrysaniaMajere]

I've got with Lee Mack the same problem I have with Dara O'Brian, sometimes he talks so fast that I don't understand him, but I like WILTY very much because of David Mitchell and Rob Brydon in it, David Mitchell always makes me laugh out loud, and because I very often guess it right, especially Lee Mack, I always know when he tells a truth or a lie

I also like Rhod Gilbert, he's very funny. And I watch QI even if I'm not fond of Alan Davies, but I like Stephen Fry a lot

 

[Sister Jennifer]

That's really sad about Linda Smith. I wondered if she was unwell.

 

[Sister Jennifer]

Has there ever been a question on QI where the answer is Blue whale?

 

[Tonyblack]

Has there ever been a question on QI where the answer is Blue whale?

Yes! But Stephen asked it in French and Alan missed it.
