A few years ago I used to put a QI with Stephan Fry on when I was falling asleep, and next thing I know it was 6/7am 🤣 I'm now listening to an audio book read by him as I fall asleep! I love his voice ❤
I'm sure this had been said so many times about QI but it is such a brilliant and positive show. Mixing comedy with information is a great way to teach people while keeping them engaged.
Frys micro timing is perfection. I don't believe I've heard anyone better. He adds so much additional humor that Sandy just does not. And series C may be about the best of QI.... it's certainly where it hits its straps. Sheer delight from beginning to end.
What a great show! I have been looking at this for 2 hours, laughing steadily. Sometimes, not being British, I miss what is being said because of accent and talking really fast. But love that this is a show bringing laughter and knowledge together at the same time. Of course, Stephen Fry is a master at this but there are such apt pupils sitting around the table, the joke gets expanded greatly and carried on!
There was a test case set up in tv show Nationwide, with test pots with a Cancer tainted one to demonstrate the sniffer dogs capabilities. The dog came out, but surprisingly sat down next to a woman in the audience. She was asked if she had Cancer? She said not that she knew, the dog went on to find the test sample. But the woman contacted the show at a later stage to confirm that she had early stage Cancer and due to early diagnosis, was cured. Thisvwas in 1970s i believe.
It's completely incorrect about having gangs collecting the hair from the ends of tube platforms. That was never a thing in the time I worked for the underground, there weren't even dedicated gangs for each tube station who collected rubbish like discarded newspapers and similar debris. Individual Litter Pickers would go through the platform areas as part of general cleaning duties for the station after the last trains had gone, but it wasn't whole gangs just to collect hair and I never heard them referred to as "Fluffers" in the 20+ years I worked for the railway. There's not that level of manpower to perform track maintenance nevermind specific cleaning duties.
Breathing helium is dangerous because you’re starving your body of oxygen, divers use a mix of oxygen and helium, but balloons don’t have a significant enough amount of oxygen to be safely breathed. Health and safety advise against it because some poor sod dropped dead or was hospitalised from breathing too many balloons and suffering hypoxia.

It IS fairly significant however that while Dampier and the Dutch touched on Australia before Cook did they only reached the (extremely) desolate Northwest coast...and reported accordingly. Cook managed to be the first European to arrive in the part of Australia where the vast majority of the population now live... in other words..the more useable areas.... lol
That’s the YT model & how creators make money & it’s at the decision of YT & how many you see is based on what country you are in too - being a free upload has nothing to do with the model, as annoying as it may be for some viewers…
Sometimes I wish I'd lived in Ancient Greece. You could make up whatever bullshit you liked, and people would think you were a genius and make statues of you and Victorian schoolchildren would be forced to memorize the crap you wrote in the original Greek. But I'm grateful to live in modern times, when we've evolved past such nonsense. Now, if you went on television and said -- oh, I don't know -- "Haitians in Ohio are eating dogs and cats," no one would believe you. No one would even waste their time discussing it.
So we are to believe you. And not the great scholars of antiquity. And you had problems learning Latin at school. So, in your view, it was all nonsense. Go back to your non constructive little world. And leave the rest of us alone
@@bennylloyd-willner9667 This is true but if you say "purple table" it does not sound like a rhyme whereas "purple turtle" does sound like a rhyme......maybe it's just my accent lol.
I am sorry to say this but there was never a Pope Joan, this was just a story out about many years ago by oponents to the papacy. So the act of carrying the Pope is just an urban myth.
Yep, I think it said more of the minds of others that called his tweet racist. As we know the BBC will cover up any kind of s&xual abuse. They draw the line at tweets though..
These episodes are about twenty years old. In that amount of time we learned new things and replaced older, less accurate information. It would be quite idiotic to expect it to remain correct.
It’s unfair that you always called him kelleher Becker come on he has a name and yes he has proven himself so stop changing his name ..It is kinda disrespectful.. I am a die hard lfc supporter. Just address him by his name.

Good on you Deano, a good decent down to earth bloke. 😊

We would be grateful if someone put up series c again

If they named a small forest after Edward Woodward it would be called Edward Woodward wood
And if you placed someone in charge of said small forest, they would be the Edward Woodward wood Warden.

Who skipped ahead at least an hour when they saw Rory?
Graham-Bell was the Bill Gates of his time.
I wonder how often in his life John Sessions got called a know it all, show off and a twat
Hopefully less than Rory McGrath
Well I didn't even know he was dead

How many adverts on a free upload..
That's up to YT not something the uploader decides
52 minutes in for me and none so far 🎉

None, if you have adblock.😎

Check out “Mythos”, Stephen Fry’s book on Greek mythology.
Turtle.....turtle rhymes with purple.
And syringe kinda rhymes with orange
"Table" as well if you go with turtle/purple as only the last two letters are the same😊
@@bennylloyd-willner9667 This is true but if you say "purple table" it does not sound like a rhyme whereas "purple turtle" does sound like a rhyme......maybe it's just my accent lol.
"orange syringe" rhyming is a bit of a stretch
@@SirJebusHRM agreed but we ain't got much to work with lol.
02:17:45 A rare swing and a miss for Stephen there 😂.

So why did Adam have nipples as well ? The story would have been far more believeable if Eve was created first, then Adam !

Get adblock mate.
Watching adverts is a choice. Stand up for yourself.
Who were the researchers for this show ? There is so much wrong information on it they should have called it quite idiotic
A lot of information has changed since it aired
They admitted on one of their shows that due to better research and advanced technologies that a lot of their facts are now wrong.
We have a show like that already, it's called "Fox News."
These episodes are about twenty years old. In that amount of time we learned new things and replaced older, less accurate information. It would be quite idiotic to expect it to remain correct.
@@daisychain5894they also have their own podcast called "no such thing as a fish", they have talked often about mistakes made.
