I fucking wish these were still going. I appreciate you posting these in the dead of night to ease my boredom.
0:05 I love Bill’s facial expression when he pressed the buzzer at the same time Alan suspected the trap
I would describe his appearance as "Surprising", given that he's been dead so long, and there's an awful lot of steep stairs to get up here and make said appearance.
And yet just a couple of years later, they found his body and proved he did had a spinal deformation
scoliosis is far from being a hunchback, I've met quite a few people with scoliosis and it's not that noticeable actually
Yeah, I mean Sarah Michelle Gellar has scoliosis, but you wouldn't know it from watching her do roundhouse kicks in Buffy.
Shakespeare's depiction (based on earlier, similar ones) is obviously grossly exaggerated, but it's interesting that there is a nugget of truth to the story. The round curve was apparently quite substantial and started very early in life, which might have been noticeable to some people, and certainly would have been known to anyone close. Not a "hunchback," just a curve, but still enough to ruin his posture when sitting for a long time, which I guess kings have to do rather frequently.
It was more of a mild form of scoliosis, than a hunchback.
@@sesfilmsllc I saw the archaeology documentary about finding his grave, and his skeleton didn't look "mildly" deformed, it had a pronounced S-curve. I wouldn't be surprised if his back did look hunched.
According to NewsRadio, "striking" means "cute with a big nose", so David hit it right on the money.
Richard III's most recognizable feature was the distinct lack of a horse.
Richard III was a hunchback. NHS consultant Dr. Piers Mitchell confirmed this in "The King In The Car Park" regarding the scoliosis. He stated that "hunchback" was a term for anyone with a spinal abnormality.
And there was me thinking hunchback was a term for people with hunched backs.
Yeah but the withered arm was fiction, so we don't really know what to trust with the fictional portrayals of the actual person.
@@t.c.thompson2359 Dr. Jo Appleby made that observation to Phillipa Langley after uncovering the skeleton and finding the scoliosis to confirm the hunch but found no withered arm, a fact that relieved Langley sometime after Appleby first told her the skeleton was that of a hunchback.
Sue Perkins looks like she's about to teach at Hogwarts
I mean Sue always gives off a Hogwarts teacher vibe. I'm not 100% sure she isn't
I always forget that David is actually a historian.
He has a 2:2 degree in history, but in his autobiographical book he admits spending most of his time in Footlights.
Poor Richard....:(
David was pretty close. If I remember correctly, she was described at the time as being basically very average-looking, maybe even a little "homely", but her allure was in her personality. And maybe she knew that trick a girl can do with her finger.
What trick is this? I need to know because reasons
Finger up the ass, pressing on the prostate or thereabouts. When you orgasm you feel like you're going to be ripped in twain. Or so I've been told.
@@N.I.R.A.T.I.A.S.
Yes yes, but you forgot the leek! The leek is the keystone of the whole bridge!
And now we know Richard did have curvature of the spin!
I have scoliosis. My mom has severe scoliosis. Her back at the top curves to the right which causes quite a large lump. Not too noticeable with clothes but without it it is, she jokingly calls herself a hunchback, so it’s not far off why that could have been a genuine mistake thinking he had a hunch back if someone close to him spilled the beans about his scoliosis lump
For everyone saying 'this didn't age well', I don't think Turi King's team had found the skeleton at the time of recording. So no-one knew for sure whether his spine was crooked.
Richard 111 remains beg to differ, he was indeed a hunchback.
0:18 they found him buried under a car park in Leicester in 2012. He definitely had a fucked spine. He had custom armor made so he could sit upright.
Her "infinite variety?" Was she a changeling?
A skin-walker, actually.
You leave so many of the issues that you address about half-settled at best.
Ahh, Lord Melchett's back, I presume.
Tan from the crusades i guess
Well done official QI channel, posting clips of facts that have already been thoroughly proven wrong.
Johanan Mussel you missed the video they posted about how there is no such things as a fact and they repaid all the panelists their lost post then? The videos are still funny
Sound the KLAXONS OF SHAME.
which one was wrong
@@kimbirkett3268 There is certainly such a thing as the fact that Richard III had a hunched back.
He looked a bit like a wizard...
“Yer a wizard, Dickie!”
Didn't Richard III supposedly look just like his father?
I don't physically understand how these can look so boring, but are actually so fucking interesting
Very skeletal by now, surely
This one didn't date very well, did it?
a nice fellow..!?
gone off fry
Shame they didn't use a picture of the "real" Cleopatra that's found on the Temple of Hathor at Dendera in Egypt.
As an American they could've made him way "blacker" 😜
They found his skeleton though and actually he did have scoliosis, which would have given him a hunchback. Seems the propaganda was born of truth after all :)
You'd think the official QI channel would have some sort of note about that in the comments or as text over the video or something!
Richard the III's scoliosis was mild enough that it could easily be concealed and it did not cause a hunchback. He just had a slightly short torso and one of his shoulders was a little higher than the other.
That's not mild scoliosis. "Richard's spine has a curvature of 70 to 80 degrees. Anything over 50 degrees is a candidate for surgery, Mitchell said; the NIH puts this figure at 45 degrees." ( www.cnn.com/2014/05/29/health/richard-iii-spine-scoliosis/index.html )

They really need to take this video down. While technically not a "hunchback," he was deformed. The video makes it sound like it was all made up, when in fact there was a basis in truth.
Long pointy nose - surely a backformation from the joke about her having a face that launched a thousand ships :')
"Face that launched a thousand ships" refers to Helen of Troy, not Cleopatra.
Richards 3rd skeleton disagrees with this. He had a hunchback.. so stephen needs to lose points.
This did not age well...
Yet again QI gets it wrong.
