    I think you're right - something about QI just works all the time. The hardest patch is the pandemic zone with no audience, but even then it's usually ok.

    • @SaturnusDK
      @SaturnusDK Рік тому +3

      There's one episode at the start of the pandemic where Alan Davis says: "why are you making jokes when there's no audience here?". But that's the thing, they can't help themselves, and that's why it works.

      myeah, i had a hard time for a while when they switched to Sandy. When she started they were in the habit of making jokes/comments about men that weren't even close to funny. Just as an example the one where that woman was going to open a coconut and tries to be funny by saying some man will probably want to mansplain it to her first and there were a lot more "jokes" that didnt get a laugh that were along the same line.
      But as Stephen already said in one of the previous episodes; more men in a panel will make the audience laugh more, more woman means the panel itself will laugh more.

    Looking at Bill Bailey and says "That guy's a total book head"
    Well...
    His first non-standup or panel show series was Black Books, a sitcom about a small second-hand bookshop, starring Bill, Dylan Moran and Tamsin Greig, with guest appearances from among others Martin Freeman (way before he was a global name), Kevin Eldon (Coffin from Don't Hug Me I'm scared and several smaller roles in Game of Thrones), Nick Frost (yes, THAT Nick Frost) and Peter Serafinowicz (the voice of Darth Maul and the titular hero in the live-action The Tick).

    From that episode Alan is the only one that hasn't been in Doctor who at some point. David is the 10th doctor, Bill was in a Christmas special with the 11th doctor, Lee and Stephen have both been in episodes with the 13th doctor. But then Alen is the amazing puzzle/ problems solver Jonathan Creek so there's that.

    I'm not sure if it's been mentioned but this is David Tennants' only appearance on Qi unfortunately. This was part of David's swansong tour before leaving Doctor Who at the end of 2009 and he pretty much took over the BBC, including appearing in special idents before every show on BBC One for the whole festive season. He hosted a Never Mind The Buzzcocks Christmas/Doctor Who special (ft. Catherine Tate and Bernard Cribbins) if you ever fancied checking out another episode of that show.

    • @morphman86
      @morphman86 Рік тому

      And he's now been confirmed as the 14th Doctor, a sort of in-between, going back to doing only special episodes until they have finished filming the first season for the 15th Doctor.
      For the first time ever, they've announced two separate Doctors at once and given us a roadmap of when we can expect each special for over a year to come.

    Oh, I'd forgotten about the 'elderly brothers in the attic' bit. What a hilarious bit that was. I realised as this reaction started (and as I note someone else has remarked, having looked at the comments) that all bar Alan have been on Doctor Who now, which actually feels a little in keeping with the QI style of Alan being the 'other'!

It's always nice to watch these reactions and enjoy some fascinating facts and laughs with QI

    Showing my age as someone who was obsessed with the Osmonds as a child, Crazy Horses was actually about pollution! Horses came from horsepower and gas guzzling cars.
    Also, the two older brothers not in the group, were hearing impaired, so more than likely had a speech impediment too (I doubt as gruff!).
    Lastly, there were up to 9 Osmond boys (8), and 1 girl, Marie. So that joke tied in too!!

    The show's elves missed a klaxon moment. Auld Lang Syne should not contain the words "the sake of". The chorus simply ends again with "for auld lang syne", not "for the sake of auld lang syne". I'm Scottish, and David Tennant needs to have a word with himself.
