Stephen fry has just had an accident, apparently fell off stage broke his ribs and i think he broke his arm as well, wishing you a speedy recovery Stephen.
The Acropolis thing was one of the funniest QI events. The other was naming the giant tortoise, or perhaps Susan Calman and Holly Walsh singing Joseph's amazing technicolour dreamcoat. The all generated hysteria.
They were talking about someone and Steven said that that was also the name of the tailors who made his school uniform. At which they all started ribbing him about having his uniform tailor made. He must have gone to a very exclusive school.
I believe that the Qi question was “What rhymes with orange?”. For a long time the answer was nothing rhymes with orange. According to the Qi elves the word gorange (unsure of spelling) is the answer.
hp sauce is made in Denmark it was sold as Heinz use to own hp as to pay off the debt from ww2 , but the Americans sold hp as requested by the government at that time.
I went to a recording of QI and Stephen picked up a set of questions that had been used the previous day and they made fun of him about it for about half an hour and throughout the show
@@Marco___Polo Do we need someone who contributed a lot of knowledge, art, and interest in the world and how it works, and was open about his own feelings and how he made changes to both physical and mental health? You do you also, "mate." But leave the homophobic, naïve, ignorant and jealous thoughts to yourself, please. I bet the amount you've contributed to the nation was licking the back of a postage stamp. Oh; probably not. I doubt you're even old enough to remember when you had to do that.
Stephen Fry drives his own black cab for ease of transportation. His very recognisable crooked nose is a result of breaking it when he fell over in the school playground at the age of six
QI quite interesting .. I used to watch it on friday nights each letter of the alphabet is one season . you had QI 30 minute episodes and QI XL 50 minute episodes . There should be an entire QI filled channel with all seasons .
Hey Squirrel, you missed the whole point of the first clip. The word "gorange" was totally irrelevant to the clip, it was about them taking the Mick out of Stephen for having a tailor to make his school uniform.
And ref that scene, anyone who wants a propercupofcoffee made in a propercoppercoffeepot might first recall what Thomas Dolby pointed out, what use is a propercoppercoffeepot when the copper kettles all rust in the acid rain..oh hang on, did I miss something?

Just read about it. Hope that he'll do okay. Thursday, last week at O2 conference.
Poor Stephen! But, of course, what we're all wondering is - did the fall straighten his nose or did it make it worse? 👃😱
I believe that Stephen fell and broke his nose as a child.

The late Sean Lock and also late John Sessions. RIP both. Phil Jupitus on Qixl is absolutely hysterical, so funny

He went to Uppingham School in Rutland, from which he was expelled half a term into the sixth form!
It was PREP school (Prep being Prepartory (for Grammer School) . most kids go to infants/primary (state) schools, moneyed folk use prep schools

Now, please, watch Poking Fun of Sandi Toksvig.She took over from Stephen Fry.
The Tailor's was called Goringe, which "probably came from GORING" (head of the Luftwaffe ww2) and taking the piss of a 5 yr old having a Tailor
Poking fun is always funny and Stephen is too ❤😂🐿️✌🏼
Stephen was saying what rhymes with orange, gorange.
He broke his nose when he was 6, he fell in the school playground.
The rhyme was "Gorringe". Amongst other occurrences , there was a large department store with that name in central London.
Stephen was a bit wild when he was younger.. Hope he recovers quickly from his fall. We need people like him.

The first bit was to name a word that rhymed with orange
goringe - they were looking for words to rhyme with orange

The Goringe bit was incidental, they were laughing at the fact he had a tailor for his school uniform.

It's called iPlayer. (Where all episodes have been available for several years now.)
bill bailey's "part troll" is a magnificent standup performance.
The reason for the pipes is because Stephen was the last recipient of pipe smoker of the year 😊
We have an Acropolis in my town...but no Parthenon as it's a chip shop!! 😃
Gorange was a rhyming with orange question
It was funny when Stephen lost control of the guests. It’s like a teacher losing control of a classroom of naughty children.
Steven is a legend,,,,👏👏👏👏👏

Not totally irrelevant.... he said the school tailors were called Gorringe
Hey Squirrel……good evening sir, watched this last week, but great to see it again so soon…..very funny……Thankyou, 👍😉🇮🇲👌
you didnt even try to pay attention
You don't often see Stephen fluffing his lines.
That is just a gift on silver platter to the other comedians.
(Rhubarb not included).
The only other time I can think of came from his story about doing the Harry Potter audiobooks and he couldn't say the phrase "Harry pocketed it"

Squirrel bringing out the good reactions
The first bit wa sthem making fun of his posh upbringing
It's an English posh thing.
Please do, French and Saunders, comic reluef, Harry Potter and the secret chamberpot of Azerbaijan. All French and Saunders absolutely fab,
Wished that I'm famous like you are lol
you are very quiet
Switched off. What's the point of stopping the video every few seconds to mumble something incoherent?
Looks I'm the only one who didn't find it funny.
