    Love how one of the ravens is named Baldrick. Nice little Blackadder reference, given it's Mr Fry who gets to read out this list.

      Why so many offensive ads and BS propaganda from UA-cam?
      Has the google somehow misplaced all that personal information they collected about me?
      No, I think the EVIL google is deliberately trying to offend me with those ads.

      Perhaps, UA-cam Studio in the UK functions differently than UA-cam Studio in the US. But assuming that subtitles function the same in the UK and the US, UA-cam Studio _automatically_ creates a transcript using voice recognition and _automatically_ publishes it.
      Therefore, it seems to me that the channel administrators are spending time _unpublishing_ the automated transcript.
      But, I could be wrong, or there could be a very good reason for removing the subtitles.

    Sandi is, of course, brilliant. But she's not an actor like Stephen. She can't tell a story or an anecdote like Stephen can, nor can she do voices like him. Mr Fry will always be The Lord of QI to me.

    Since everyone in the comments is apparently confused:
    - The Kray twins were infamous violent gangsters in London
    - David Puttnam is a film producer who produced Chariots of Fire (the film with the famous 'inspirational' Vangelis music theme)
    - David Bailey is a photographer who was known for documenting/influencing the 'swinging sixties' scene and took a famous portrait of the Kray twins
    - Summary of the story at the end; David Bailey and Reggie Kray were in a pub (basically a bar), a drunk guy recognised Bailey and started hassling him to take a photo of him, Reggie punched him and seriously injured him, the drunk guy and his friend ran away, Bailey called Reggie out on it (sidenote: 'tosser' is a slightly milder version of the insult 'wanker' - both mean 'a person who masturbates'), everyone in the pub went silent cuz Bailey had just yelled at a violent gangster, then Reggie just smiled and admitted he'd been thinking about punching the drunk man earlier anyway because he'd been stealing Reggie's sandwiches
