This clip is from QI Series Q, Episode 7, 'Quests: Part II' with Sandi Toksvig, Alan Davies, Susan Calman, Joe Lycett and Holly Walsh. - บันเทิง
I'm not ashamed to admit that I was part of that impromptu sing-along. That's the wonderful unpredictability of a QI recording.
Must have felt like a Nuremberg rally.
@@AndersPuschel But without the intrinsic humour
Don't be ashamed
It was Wonderful
Alan was wrong as usual
When was this filmed.
Loved it!
I'm not sure which 'walk-out' moment was funnier; this one, or the Episode 'Ologies' where Sandi asks Claudia Winkleman about a boat and she replies 'Does it have anything to do with the wind?' which prompts a walk-out by Alan, Bill Bailey and Phil Jupitus. Both were hilarious!
in my opinion the best of all the QI shows was O-01
Definitely the boat.
Put away the wine and shut the f*** up! I was in bits
@@Marijn_92 should I click the strangers link yes yes I should
It's unscripted gems like this that really make panel shows as good as they are, especially QI.
90% of QI is unscripted
Added bonus for the audience.
@@CricketEngland You sound as though you actually believe that.
@@ArtyEffem almost all of it is improvised.
@@sheepketchup9059 If you believe that, you'll believe anything. In other words, you're typical of this show's audience.
If you find this type of show worth watching, you can thank the invisible army of uncredited writers.
She was the perfect choice after Stephen left. Even Alan knew that, hence why he decided to stay when he'd originally planned not to. I didn't think anyone could take over it, but she definitely did, and well. She shares the important aspects with him (comedy, intelligence, knowledge etc) whilst also being different to him and unique. Well done Sandi, and all those involved in her hire.
Ehh
Sandi was the obvious choice. I had heard her on BBC Radio 4's The News Quiz and, when they announced Stephen Fry was leaving QI, I was expecting the next announcement to be Sandi taking over the QI reigns
@@travelphotos7662
Yes, she was the only obvious choice ...still not nearly half as good as Fry, but I guess had she rejected to do it the show would be history by now.
Praise Jeepers
For me she’s better... Fry’s a bit of an idiot!
Susan impersonating Sandi was just wonderful
The uniform gave her Vulcan confidence.
I think she was trying her luck to audition for the role of hosting QI, just in case Sandi takes a break.
@@GiratinaofFury She's going to have to fight it out with Aisling Bea. And if Aisling gets the job, Rachel Riley can fill in for her.
and it wasnt even that bad really
@@Gunman610 wait rachel has never been on qi as far as i know lol
Love Alan's deadpan "That really was intolerable". Especially as I'd joined in the singing so I know that it really was.
Takes one to know one I guess
have you been there or did you sing at home?
only because it was not him in the limelight..Alan is only for Alan
He was right.
This has got to be my favourite moment from QI ever ... the jokes, the facts, the reactions and then ... cherry on the cake - Susan Calman's sheer unadulterated joy when the audience join in some surprisingly good singing - a wee gem!
I love the way the audience joins in: "We are still dreaming, uh oh uhhhh..."
a lot of folks in their 40s/50s will have had to do "Joseph" at school. I know I did in 79/80 and I can still remember the words (even to the point of remembering some of the order of the colours in the coat!)
@@fearlessfred67 *some* of the colours?! I'm 40 and can still do *all* the colours! (hangs head in embarrassment)
@@MissPickles1980 ;)))) I'm 53, so I blame a little bit of old age!
@@fearlessfred67 I wonder if Lee Mack could invent a system to remember the colours, as he did with the Teletubbies...🤔
@@fearlessfred67 It was red and yellow and green and brownand scarlet and black and ? and ?
and ruby and olive and violet and fawn
and lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve
and cream and crimson and silver and rose
and ? and lemon and ? and grey
and purple and white and pink and orange and red and yellow and green and brownand blue!
Can you fill in the gaps?🤣
Susan’s refusal against the facts is one of my favorite recurring bits from the last two seasons.
She's adorable , but if you came from a country with a serious problem I with science denialism and anti-intellectualism, you wouldn't find it nearly so charming.
It's only cute when it's ridiculously child-like ... And maybe a feminine Scottish accent helps.
The moment when the class becomes so rowdy the teacher leaves for a bit but when she comes back there'll be hell to pay
We used to say that was them getting a run up. 🤣
Echos of my school days ...
"It's no more dangerous than flying through normal space." Sounds pretty dangerous.
😂😂😂👍
It reminds me of a SciFi scene when they managed to crashland in water and someone asked how deep the ship would be able to handle. And the simple but in hindsight obvious reply was: well, anywhere between 0 and 1 atmosphere, so let's keep it floating.
Relativity plays some part in that statement.
@@sandoumir4348 Futurama?
@@Ahlg1990 Yup. th-cam.com/video/O4RLOo6bchU/w-d-xo.html
Ah yes. They say of the Acropolis where the Parthenon is 2.0.
I’m so happy you wrote this, even after watching it several times I could never decipher what they were saying
What do they say about the Acropolis where the Parthenon is Stephen?
One of my favourite shows, and that line is perfect.❤️🇨🇦❤️
@@ryshow9118 THAT THERE ARE NO STRAIGHT LINES!!!!
NO STOP NO I ...............fuck
I had forgotten that ever happened. I was at peace. Now it's back. Singsong voices and all.
10 years? It has been long established that *any* tape left in a player for even a few weeks will convert to Queen! Don't these people read Good Omens? 😈😇
My Dad had a tape of the Rolling Stones that got stuck in his tape player. I wanted to listen to something else, but you can't always get what you want.🥁😂
Oh you didn't! 🤦♀️
My Dad had a tape of Stealers Wheel that also got stuck. In the middle.
@@geoffsecombe so...umm...who was on your left?
@@korbell1089 🤡🤡👻
And to the right, as I recall, were Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, Joaquin Phoenix etc. (Geddit?!)
You poor Devil, you have my sympathy...
That audience participation was amazing!
If Alan ever decided to leave QI, which I hope he doesn’t, then Susan should take his place as permanent guest (btw I don’t want Alan to leave because he is the heart of QI). Just like Alan was the perfect foil for Steven and Sandi, she is the perfect foil for Sandi (and Steven for a brief time). She is extremely intelligent but never fails to make me laugh with her antics. She definitely knows how to push Sandi’s buttons, drive her insane and have her in hysterics lol. Holly is also the best addition to QI since Sandi took over. Her and Susan together as a pair are brilliant.
i love how the three of them have that "cmon, theyre gonna be at this for a while, lets go grab a pint" kind of exit...
In the other walkout they went and got wine th-cam.com/video/NiNVeqjCbIw/w-d-xo.html
Two thumbs up for "Jeff Wayne's musical version of the War of the Worlds" - almost as famous as "Tubular Bells"
YES! I had this on vinyl.
@@deenine That was a beautiful two disk album cover. He did a great job.
The album "The Dolls of New Albeon" is another Steam Punk Opera you can hear for free.
mochalab.bandcamp.com/album/the-dolls-of-new-albion-a-steampunk-opera
@@deenine Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, Grindr, instagram and now vinyl. When will it ever end ?
Richard Burton - 'They drew their plans against us.'
Opening notes - 🎵 'Dum dum dummm, dum dum dummmm'.🎵
@@Elitist20 That last line of the opening narration, then breaking into The Eve of The War still sends shivers down my spine after years of listening to it. You did kind of blunt the impact of the line though: "And slowly, and surely, they drew their plans against us." Something about that fuller phrasing gives the sense of implacable inevitability of the devastation to come.
I feel like this is Sandi's "They say of the Acropolis" moment. Could literally watch it a hundred times and never get tired of it.
Also, Holly has a lovely singing voice.
They say of the Acropolis, where the parthenon is.....
I'd say that should be the one with the sailboat
@@zjeraar Something about wind.
@@anonnymousperson theyyyy saaaay of the arcroppoliiiiis , where the partheon iiiiiiis..... What do they say, what do they say? He's gonna say, he's gonna say....
No NO! That's the Julie Andrews Sound of Music one! She is laughing so much I think she let a little bit of wee come out. :P That's the best!
My roommate in the other room started singing along.
Update: She's still singing it.
And she'll continue singing it forever just because....
Joseph or War of the Worlds?
That sudden realisation of... "Oh no, THEATRE KIDS!"
This is simultaneously the funniest and most moving moments of qi.
Sandi literally moved off the stage 😂
Imagine that lot crewing the enterprise.
"Air lock? How'd you lock the air, then? Press it... see if it turns off the air conditioning on the bridge. Bloody freezing in there."
Alan would be a brilliant/rubbish engineer.
"We can't keep up this speed, the engines can't take it!"
Sandi: "are you familiar with conservation of momentum?"
"Yes, we'll slow down." *Klaxon*
@@DouglasParkinson I've been outsmarted by your joke why would that elicit a klaxon?
@@goldenpony822 The Klaxon would indicate an incorrect answer or common misconception. Conservation of momentum means that, if there was no external force acting upon you, you would stay at your current velocity. In space, the only force you'd have to worry about is gravity, so as long as you're far away enough from anything with significant mass, you would not slow down.
As Alan is saying that they'll slow down, he's incorrect, so there's a klaxon.
@@xxxdumbwordstupidnumberxxx4844 oh dang the name is self explanatory
I know the QI klaxon lol but thought there would be friction to slow you down.
Edit: now the joke is real fun even after a reread XD
@@goldenpony822 Well, for friction there would only really be two options in a spacecraft; either in the atmosphere of a planet, or hitting/scraping another object in space (including the ground of a planet). If it's the latter case, your momentum really shouldn't be the main concern.
My childhood 'tape in the car' was Jasper Carrott. Listened to his routine every holiday for years.
I think we were in the same car 🤣
Mine was Dire Straits 'Brothers in Arms' - ahh lovely nostalgia memories..... 🙂
I now want nothing more than a Scottish episode of QI
Just make sure you turn on Closed Captioning. 😋
With BIG subtitles
Series S is coming up next
In other news, half of a panel show audience got stabbed...
Q Aye
This was brilliant and I loved every second of it
Honestly?
I cringed. Somehow it just totally grated.
@@babboon5764 sad for you then
"with Sandi Toksvig, Alan Davies, Alan Carr, Phill Jupitus and Alice Levine." Eh?
The audience joining in too makes me superbly happy
Despite Sandi's parenteral "you should be ashamed of yourselves!" type reaction, you can still hear her laughing (off set) when Susan Calman sits in her chair. I love how Susan found it so delightful & amusing when the audience starting singing along too. You know she's not exaggerating or joking about her childhood sing-alongs in the car!
That was just perfect- thank you Susan and Hollie!
I want to see Susan Calman’s War of the Worlds.
I would buy tickets to that
Wonderful. I thought this was going to be a 15-1 clip.
I remember one, when Toksvig asked a question about something to do with the 50's and the contestant said "that's before my time," and as quick as a flash, Toksvig said, "history didn't begin when you were born dear!" Love her to bits! 😉
I love that they have Star Trek Enterprise badges and Alan is in a red shirt.
I hate to sound like a major trekkie, but, "Enterprise" didn't have those badges. That was before the founding of the Federation. We didn't see those insignias until the original series. Which is set in a future timeline 100 years after "Enterprise."
Not a Trekkie......what's the significance of the red shirt.....or any colour shirt for that matter?
@@Smoking_Joe Casulties, most of the time they wore red shirts.
@@Smoking_Joe In the original series of Star Trek from the 60s, the red shirts are usually engineering or security crew. Gold is command, and blue is science or medical. Although red and yellow would swap places later on. That's if you watch The Next Generation, Deep Space 9, or Voyager.
In original star trek, the red shirts are known for always dying. If Captain Kirk went down to a planet with a red shirt crew member, that red shirt would most likely not come back alive. So, red shirts are a bit of a joke. If you're a red shirt in star trek, you're probably going to die.
@@RHTeebs You do realise that when normal people refer to "Star Trek Enterprise badges" we are referring to the TV show called Star Trek where William Shatner played the captain of a spaceship called Enterprise?
2:33 trying to take over the show think again
New BBC show idea; audience singalong. Just have celebs and audience members do a karaoke together like this.
To be fair, I would watch that.
In the olden days there was a show in the US that was like that. They'd put the words on the screen and a little ball would bounce along on the words. That's where "Fallow the bouncing ball" comes from. It was fun!
@@rainydaylady6596 fallow?! Surely you mean follow.
@@rainydaylady6596 I don't remember any shows, but those would occasionally pop up on cartoon shows.

Some were redone in color.
Jeff Wayne's war of the worlds was and still is a masterpiece
I can absolutely sympathise with the tapes in cars! Ours was a live album from Simon and Garfunkel. Don't get me wrong, it's a great album, it just gets a bit tiring when you're listening to Bridge Over Troubled Water for fifth time on a 7 hour car journey.
Or it's just like watching The Graduate and Scarborough Fair plays for the sixth time.
@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE Sorry, what?
Oddly, we had the Man of La Mancha. I AM I, DON QUIXOTE, THE LORD OF LA MANCHA! oh boy
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool… That holiday car trip to Denmark is ever ingrained into my brain.
We had Jon & Vagelis for it. One year the tape started to strech, but it still stayed for at leat 2 more years.
This was one of my favorite episodes ever. Laughed so much especially when Susan was doing the sound effects noises for the space battle. She is one of my favorite panelists.
Noooo I thought we were passed the anxiety provoking ending where I scramble to avoid Sandy's angry words.
It's almost worse now because we at least knew it was coming before!
I thought it was rather appropriate for this video
Oh, yeah, the average asteroid is about the size of a tennis ball. Unfortunately, all it takes to kill a spacecraft is one tiny pebble, and there are loads more of those...
Yeah it's not the size of the thing that kills you, it's the speed relative to you when you impact with it.
We've seen what hailstones can do.
I think Sandi is brilliant for this programme..one of my favourite programmes...informative and entertaining, and unpredictable...and poor Alan gets set up quite often..that`s what makes it enjoyable.
When the audience joined in 😂😂😂❤️
That Scottish lass is a riot
Scots generally are :)
@@InservioLetum
Susan Calman has always been a gem and brilliant on The News Quiz too
And she’s cute, too!
@@arthurvasey I’m sure her wife thinks so too
That's Susan Calman & Holly Walsh for anyone saddened that the credits are wrong. That being said, teenage me would have been amazed to see so many funny women on a panel show at the same time, credited or not! Great to see that things have changed a little bit.
Thank you! I was looking for Susan's last name. Loved her here, will check her work out
The lack of women on comedy panel shows is talked about on another QI segment and Jack Dee has the best comeback ever. th-cam.com/video/-I3qREbKqLw/w-d-xo.html
To be fair - that is a wholly appropriate reaction to being subjected to anything written by Andrew Lloyd-Webber.
That's the sort of hilarious random spontaneity that makes television and quizzes so fun
Sandi3Po: "The chances of being hit by an asteroid is about 1 in a Billion if you go into an asteroid field"
Han Solo: "Never tell me the odds."
C-3PO trying to give everyone some positive energy and Han just shuts it down.
Still higher than flying through a bit of space without any asteroids.
When Sandy says "And you, all of you", that includes you. And you!
I love Susan Calman she is amazing loved it thank you and I like the Star Trek T-shirt specially the fact anyone in a blue shirt knows they are safe statistically speaking
I read "Sandi Walks Off Set!" and unkindly thought, "How do her feet reach all the way down off the dais?" I apologize for that treacherous instant of unguarded reflection. Of course Sandi's feet reach, and she doesn't need Alan to lift her.
My family's version of the "singular summer cassette" was Fiddler on the Roof
Your dad could have bought more tapes 'If he were a rich man'
Glory to Susan for the Jeff Wayne War of The Worlds reference!
And the audience for participating!
Thanks for spoiling it
@@KeithShizuo hey sorry, I did not know you were reading the entire comment section before watching the video.
@@honooryu5374 this one was at the top
@@KeithShizuo well damn, still my point stands, even if somewhat shaky, but it stands, as a joke.
Why can't American television be this off the cuff and still immensely entertaining???
Because American TV producers have to make programmes that their commercial sponsors will like. BBC producers can make programmes that their viewers will like.
@@gwishart LOL...... I was going to say exactly that, you beat me to it!
Apparently their news is sometimes like this, which I wish we had. The complete opposite way around apparently!!
That's my new favorite way to answer a scientifically based argument "I don't think that's right" and "Ummm...no"
When Sandi goes to Alan for protection, it's bad, lol.
i love how the audience somehow get more and more into it as they keep going!
When they all get up and leave there is one of those unspoken "pub"? moments😂
The fact everyone knew the words and joined in with dreamcoat but not war of the worlds is a damning indictment on society
If any solar system had a dense asteroid belt of the sort portrayed in science fiction, I imagine that gravity would bring the asteroids together.
Well the average distance between asteroids in our belt is about 1 million km, while the average distance between asteroids in belts in Star Trek is about 100 m, which is a factor of (10000)³ = 10¹² times greater. The asteroids are also about 1000 times larger on average, so if the dimensions of the belt are unchanged, the total mass of the Star Trek belt must be about 10¹⁵ times greater than the real belt. The real asteroid belt has a mass of about 2×10²¹ kg, so the Star Trek belt has a mass of about 2×10³⁶ kg, or about a million times the mass of the Sun. So yeah, there might be some issues.
They have similar problems with nebulae. They depict dark nebulae as dense fogs of purplish gas, seemingly far denser than the Earth's atmosphere (dark enough even to conceal their ship from nearby enemies). That would make a large dark nebula in Star Trek more massive than the entire observable universe in reality.
One of my favourite QI scenes of all time
I've been listening to War Of The Worlds since I was 9 and it's still amazing
When this episode first aired they didn’t include the Technicolor part so it looked like Sandi morphed into Susan instantaneously
Sandi: *The truth is the average distance between asteroids is about 600,000 miles.*
Me, a Science Fiction writer: *Yeah... I'm going to pretend this isn't a thing...*
This maybe true….but you cover a lot of space very quickly at over 30,000 mph….and one of those ‘tennis ball’ lumps of rock would smash through one end of your ship and out the other in a heartbeat. The belt would still be a concern imo.
This was unexpectedly charming
I didn’t realise this video was only 24 seconds old when I clicked on it.
Me neither, I just clicked on it in the middle of a QI-videos spree.
When did you realize?
You're not supposed to say that...you're supposed to say "First!" :) jk
@@stephanietakai9470
It took me about the length of the video to realise so by that time others had beaten me to it.
@@starchington It took me about the length of the video.
Who typed in the names of those appearing? Slight error!!
I love the audience, never miss a chance to wind Sandi up!
A comment on the comments, if I may.
Although I occasionally get a bit put off by Sandi's overly ardent feminism, I can deal with it. I have more trouble dealing with the intensity of the "Stephen was better" crowd. I find it interesting that none of Sandi's supporters even say anything bad about Stephen, but his proponents are often "She's terrible" or "She's ruined the show". I'd almost suspect an amount of sexism is at play, except that would be awfully confusing since they're both gay.
Stephen and Sandi are two different people, with different strengths and weaknesses, just like everyone else. You don't have to like them both. If you don't like her, don't watch the videos. Simple.
I thought that was a rather beautiful moment - even though Holly and Susan both got the lyrics wrong (don't ask me how I know this)!
You must be an international karaoke superstar very much like myself, I do like a little les mes master of the house 😉👍😂
Maybe they didn't, and there's regional versions?
Like our version of Wonderland we got for the tour 5 years ago is different to the American version I've been watching here on YT. Almost completely different XD
Absolutely hilarious, you just cannot beat the British Humour, top of the world.
I swear there's parts of the world that think we have no humour.
But we know a singalong is fun!!
I like it how they put an! at the end, to suggest she walked off in a huff🤔
Brilliant!
I remember singing this at Primary school for our school play.
I LOL'd when the audience joined in.
Is it a sign we are all getting old?
🤗
Just what I needed, feeling a bit down today - but this cheered me up ;)
"I weirdly was sticking to facts we knew..."
Like dealing with QAnon and their delusions.
/Trekkie - The Musical
This was one of the best parts of that episode, I am really happy it still is a hit this segment lol
I thought I was the only person on Earth who spontaneously bust out in that ridiculous SciFi rock opera! 500 points to Susan Calman!
When the audience joins in with Susan and Holli...... brilliamt TV! This is what you pay your license fee for! 🤣🤣
I wish she would leave, she ruins the show imo
Surely Sandi walks off set at the end of every show.
This show is always so entertaining and I never getting tired of watching it.
Sandi is an absolute delight
Shame to see how crap this program has got. So desperate for views you have to use click bait titles.
Call me a pedant (please, I crave recognition) but this being 'official' you'd kind of assume they'd have the correct cast listing in the information above.
What it says 'though, as you can see, is: Sandi Toksvig, Alan Davies, Alan Carr, Phill Jupitus and Alice Levine.
OK so Asteroids are far apart .......... But you can't even see Jupitus (despite the listing)
A mix up with Quests part 2.
i miss the guy who used to chair this show/game, also, the wee Scottish woman is hilarious
Stephen fry?
Susan calman is her name and I agree she's hilarious.
Only Sandi could have stepped into it so brilliantly. Her lightning wit makes QI an absolute joy. 😂❣️
Most American shows I've seen are quite careful to avoid singing copyrighted music in the middle of a program, for fear of having to pay for the rights to the music. This is commonly demonstrated with the way birthday celebrations in film often avoid using the traditional lyrics and melody to "Happy Birthday". Are the laws more permissive in Britain or was QI just confident that it was worth the cost/risk of letting them sing their showtunes?
Thank you! This made my day!
Yes - and a tiny lump of rock hitting a spacecraft at more than 30,000 mph (speed of Voyagers) will cause massive damage - BBC fact checking works so well......
This reminds me of something David Mitchell said is Series F. People don't want information based panel shows, they just want a knees-up.
Wassat?
My Dad used to play Neil Diamond's "Hot August Night" on every family trip. As much as I liked it, I remember a trip my sister and I sang JANHATDC over the top of it with me doing harmony for many kilometres.
Amazing fun on set. The unexpected events are often the best ones.
Laugh, I nearly lost control of my bladder. My wife thought I'd gone off my rocker and refused to even titter, but then she had her sense of humour surgically removed several years ago and retired to a part of the house called the JFZ - the Joke Free Zone. I laugh alone.
Loving Susan and Walsh's little duet, along with the audience singing along!! I like how Joe turned to Alan and Sandi as they left and he was like oh we doing it ok coming
The problem with this claim is simple.
The asteroid field here in our neighborhood is incredibly old, and has long since scattered far apart.
But asteroid fields literally cannot all be in the same stage, or the same age.
So mathematically there MUST be young asteroid fields that are still in the process of spreading out.
and yes they would indeed be treacherous to navigate through.
Sandi is speaking of what can be observed in our asteroid belt,
but it would be foolish to make the assertion that all asteroid belts are the same.
Susan should get the point this time.
Probably my favorite clip of QI. Everyone on the panel are in outfits from my favorite tv show, 2 are singing Andrew Lloyd Webber songs with the audience, all we need is Superman and a TARDIS, and I'll be freaking out.
It's rather funny watching this clip after the DART mission, when NASA deliberately flew a craft to crash into an asteroid.
As English as the English can be. "Oh, no it isn't!". "Oh, yes it is!" I don't know of any other country that has that full on Audience participation.
Makes me a bit sad that other countries don't know pantomimes or Punch+Judy outside of that At Dead Of Night indie horror game and even then only us Brits pick up on it and have to educate everybody else about the 'random' lore and characters. I can't imagine how little sense that game makes to people who have never heard of P+J.
This is the clip that I would share (and certainly will) when I try to share the brilliance of this show with my friends.
We had the same with the ABBA Gold Album 💿
well that's just quality stuff! a few years back I was on a roadtrip in Thailand and our car broke down for almost an hour. The very nice large highway gas station (typical large modern highway station) was just blasting nothing but ABBA on the PA the entire time I was there. They even had some deeper cuts I'd never heard before! Definitely made the breakdown that bit more interesting!
That was my senior year of high school - everywhere we went. We were living in Greece that year and to this day I still think of Athens when I hear them. 🤷🏼♀️
If Alan Davies (gods forbid) ever decide to leave QI, I think Susan Calman would be a good replacement.
