13:10 No, that image is from _Jeeves and Wooster._ Fry played Jeeves and Laurie played Wooster. I highly recommend it if you haven't seen the show. And I think it would make for a great reaction series.
I maintain it is one of the best ever things to have appeared on TV. the music is smashing!
Seriously one of my favorite shows. I love Fry and Laurie together in it so much!
Oh man, PLEASE watch some Jeeves and Wooster, Neil! The first episode of the show fits the theme of your opening story about your weekend hijinks so well it's almost comical.
Richard Coles was in The Communards with Jimmy Somerville (ex-Bronski Beat). They released two albums in 1986-87.
Not a very well known band outside of the UK but did have the best selling single of 1986 in the UK.

You better not leave them in any way!
Just love QI! Always entertaining and surprising, regardless of whether or not you're familiar with the guests.
That's the thing, Neil. As we get older , we can still rip it up on occasion. The problem is, we don't bounce back like we used to! Lol
Richard Coles was the keyboard player in the Communards in the 80s. The video for "Don't Leave me This Way" and other hits are on YT
Around the late 80s/early 90s, Fry and Laurie starred in the comedy drama series, Jeeves and Wooster, based on the books.
You've probably heard Don't Leave Me This Way by The Communards. That was Richard's band.
The reverend was on wilty periodically. He also has a musical background, but I don't know much about it.
Had to chuckle at multiple guests wondering why a Vacuum wouldn’t work in a vacuum
A flong is a paper-mache mould for casting printing plates of entire, composed pages set with movable type.
A stereotype is a printing plate made from a flong, or rather a cast plate, as opposed to one that is engraved or electroplated... when the printers made a stereotype they would often save the illustrations or photo-reproductions by sawing that part of the plate out and reusing it later. These plates often lasted a long time, and stock illustrations would end up being reused in newspapers, repeatedly illustrating stories of one topic using the same image, leading to people using the word stereotype to refer to lazy reuse of the same thing.
Cliché comes from the french onomatopoeic rendering of the sound ink makes when you ink a printing matrix with a brayer or traditional inking pad. However, it came to be used for any reusable printing plate, regardless of how it was made, whilst stereotypes are made through a specific process, though also often used as a generic term.
There are many words and phrases that come from printing, which makes sense if you think about how language is documented and evolves.
One of my other favourite examples is that in movable type, a single letter is called a "sort". That means that if you're writing something and run out of 'A's so you can't finish your sentence, you're "Out of sorts".
The old photo of Fry and Laurie was from the TV show "Jeeves and Wooster", a comedy-drama series set in the 1920s.
The Wurzels were the band behind "I've Got A Brand New Combine Harvester". A very traditional country band from Somerset (a rural area of Southern England), most of their songs were about tractors or cider or cows.
Neil has come across this song on an episode of Only Connect.
Oh, David has won plenty of times - like 10+
Not that it really matters.
As for the series themes, I don't think they do them much these days. During the first few with Sandi they did a "randy scandi" whch was a random scandinavian fact every episode as an homage to Sandis being Danish.
Many points for Neil this episode! Becoming quite the Toksvig, kudos!
The Wurzels joke is a reference to Wurzel Gummidge, an English kids TV show from the 80s about a scarecrow that comes to life (specifically his accent).
If you want a good early series episode, "Constellations" from the C series is a good one featuring one of your favourite panellists!
The picture of Stephen fry and Hugh Laurie is from a series called jeeves and wooster.
A superb series that I could watch over and over again.
I'm always blown away by Neil's knowledge and today is no different. 👀 Get this man on a quiz show.
Richard cales was in The Communards with Jimmy Somerville
Best known for the song "Don't Leave Me This Way" which Neil may have heard.
I quite like the connection and disparity between him and Brian Cox, both started as keyboard/piano players in a dance/pop band that lasted about 5 years before disbanding, who released one big hit and then went into a totally new career path. One becoming Britains foremost science communicator, the other a man of God. Both have appeared on QI too. It's quite interesting how they started in the same place but chose completely different paths and have still ended up on QI.
It was this episode that many of us had the displeasure of discovering Jacob Rees-Mogg for the first time.
A "Ripper" is an overspinning leg-break delivery tearing out of the rough bowled by Shane Warne and described by Mark Taylor
In series R Sandi had her Randy Scandi facts Neil 🤓
Hypostatic union (from the Greek: ὑπόστασις hypóstasis, "person, subsistence") is a technical term in Christian theology employed in mainstream Christology to describe the union of Christ's humanity and divinity in one hypostasis, or individual personhood. Wikipedia
Know what you mean Neil, used to love the unplanned nights out, best nights ever, unfortunately, I do it occasionally now but takes me 3 days to recover.
It should be made clear that Richard Coles's ordainment came well after the end of his musical career. The Communards only managed to find commerical success with a couple of covers, so it was something of a foot in the door.
Sandi has her
Randi Skandi
Which are random Scandinavian facts, that are just slotted in when she feels like it.
Neil on a roll anticipating answers! My happy place too. I needed that today. There’s something very intuitively human/universal about The Force in the original Star Wars trilogy. And the dangers of hate. The bare bones ideas of Jedi philosophies in the movies are very appealing to people, in a way that I think is positive, without carrying the baggage that real world religions have accumulated.
The way you thow out references "He was kinda like a Thor Heyerdahl type" like most people would know who that is :D
I would think most of this audience has at least a passing familiarity with Kon-Tiki, even if they haven't all read it themselves.
You'd be a great contestant on Qi
You should watch a new animation that came out in March. Lackadaisy.
Regarding star wars, are you suggesting that episodes 7-9 are better than 1-3? Or are you referring to all of the small series we got in the last few years?
The animated series and the Disney tv shows, not the sequel trilogy.
Jeeves and Wooster.
Attempts to avoid backlash of comparing Shakespeare to Star Wars by also throwing the Bible under the bus... interesting strategy.
😂😂😂😂
Are you that old 😅😂
