The "Who married big mouthed Margaret? Dennis" is Alan joking about Margaret Thatcher
Yes
That monkey is looking back there thinking, "it's an absolute casserole back here".
Greg hitting on Bill is hilarious. 😆
In your mission to see all the Bill Bailey episodes, I strongly recommend episode 8 of series M, '"Merriment" - it's also the Christmas episode for that year, so good timing if you're able to do it this month, obviously dependent on your schedule.
That's probably my favorite episode of all time.
Please react to Greg Davies Bad Dong episode of big fat quiz 2015.
15:05 women and men were shorter in the 19th century, women were an average of 5ft 3". "Long" Liz Stride one of the Ripper's victims was called Long Liz because she was so tall, she was 5ft 5.
If you enjoy Greg as a guest, check out his appearances on Graham Norton. Not your usual fare for reaction content, but it might suit you, and he's certainly hilarious. Excellent storyteller, as you may guess from WILTY.
I've seen loads of UA-cam channels react to him tbh
"We love Pliny, don't we" - I believe the QI elves, on their podcast No Such Thing As A Fish, have a habit of referring to him as "friend of the show Pliny", because he's involved in a lot of funny facts. I almost wonder if Fry's cue card referred to him this way as an issue joke, and Fry spun it into something that made more sense on air.
Or just everyone that is into odd facts loves Pliny.
Jimmy Carr done a second series btw!!!
Neil, I'm coming to this late, and while I'm also Canadian I *am a few years older than you, but I was embarrassed for you not getting the Margaret-and-Denis-Thatcher joke. (Haven't you watched The Crown?)
Another way to look at the correlation between the cost of weddings and divorce rates for Western Countries, is that if you can and do spend that much money on the event, there's a higher chance that you're getting married to this person to be seen a certain way (it's not universal), and if you're marrying someone because they're them and not because of what you can get from each other, then money doesn't matter so much. You either don't have the money or don't care who sees because that's not why you're marrying.
That's obviously a generalisation, but I know some 'look at me' sorts of people, and they chose their partners because they had money and looked good on FB, and didn't realise it wasn't love until the lust wore off and then bailed.
The comment below on Indian divorce rates shows how culturally specific it all is.
The QI points system is going to be the last mystery of the Universe.
You should look into The Inbetweeners for a Greg Daviesfest. His first starring role on television.
I don't want to be that guy, but that was probably technically We Are Klang wasn't it?
Ok I just was that guy.
@@grunions9648 You were but there's more of 'that guy' available. He was in more.
I just saw the Christmas show for series r --- rejoice. It was very funny and at times exciting. If you have a chance you should watch the Christmas episodes from each season. They are always good.
9:37 Hes talking about the Thatchers Neil
The "unintended-but-the-guests-get-there" thing was more common in the early years of the show, with John Sessions and Clive Anderson being the leaders in that regard. (Also with less-regular people like Vic Reeves and Gyles Brandreth and-- ugh---Rory McGrath.)
On divorce rates in India - I had a conversation with an Indian coworker, and he attributed the extremely low divorce rates to the culture of arranged marriages, which I found strange, but it makes sense: you don't marry for love but for economic reasons. Which also means that not loving your partner (anymore) is not a reason for divorce, because it doesn't change anything regarding the reasons behind the marriage.
Of course, less and less marriages are arranged in India these days, but they still exist in pretty large numbers, so that would be one contributing factor.
And the correlation between cost of a marriage and its longevity (is shortevity a word? My autocorrect doesn't think so) could also be linked to something else - if subconsciously you know that you're not with the right person, you may want to drown this feeling in a glorious wedding day, or your expectations in your wedding day are so incredibly high (because movies and kitsch novels) that the reality of perfectly ordinary life as a couple after that day are too stark of a contrast.
Interesting. I’m assuming the cultural stigma of divorce would also make it less appealing as an option, as well as lower levels of economic independence among women (when compared to men).
Series M Episode 4 Miscellany is fantastic also.
Ah, yet another fine example of Greg Davies being a massive flirt. Love it! 🥰🥰
Greg Davies is pretty awesome in Inbetweeners too
People who spend less on a wedding are not with each other for money (read this statistically; more of the rich weddings are between people who are with the other for money or status, not all of course, but more likely)
People who have more wedding guests, are likely more sociable and easy to live with and so have more people to invite.
So these are not causes of a happier / more lasting marriage.
Both (cheap wedding with loads of friends and a lasting marriage) are effects of these people being sociable and marrying for the right reasons.
that "Good god... I can't marry you but couldhave a bloody good go" was the highlight of the episode
Yeah my Mexican friend invited her entire village, so her wedding was a cool 1000 people
Are you going to do the second season of I Literally Just Told You?
You could type your notes Neil

Wait what, you're not having sex? Did you take that week off or something? 😂
Because with that chiseled face and young look (I think you said at some point "in my mid-40s...", like it was a thing of the past. Made me think "What?! How old is he?!"), I find it hard to believe that you can't choose from a range of people. 😆
Just the other day, I was gonna say that with this light setup, it feels a bit strange to watch a superhero doing reactions on UA-cam. 😆
Ha. This episode is being repeated right now!
Dennis and Margaret Thatcher.....
Here's the thing. When it comes to the Stephen Fry era of QI, you don't have to wait for recommendations for specific episodes. The whole series is amazing! Yes, there are some that are extra special, but there is no such thing as a bad Stephen Fry QI episode.
Margaret Thatcher and Dennis
