I quite like the Alan Davies show "As yet untitled". Not a quiz show, but a group of celebs (usually comedians) sit around telling anecdotes hosted by Alan. Not a quiz but not exactly a chat show either. None of the guests are there to plug a film or book they just exchange stories about things that have happened to them. Much more gentle feel than a chat show. The end of the show they try and decide what to title the episode.
In the later stages of Stephen's run, the BBC put out a directive specifically regarding panel shows, that the guests could no longer be 100% male in an episode. That certainly went some way to expanding the roster of shows like QI, giving us the opportunity to meet people like the wonderful Cariad Lloyd. With QI in particular, though, I think there are some other factors (host chemistry, generational shift, popularity attracting newcomers, etc), but when it comes to involvement from the top, that's the major one, the mandatory inclusion of women.
its great in principle but there was a few seasons in a row that i found unwatchable
If it means Aisling Bea can make more regular appearances, I'm all for that! She's fast becoming one of my favourite panellists.
A "directive". You mean they came out for sex and racial discrimination.
The show is unwatchable without Fry. "Diversity" is not only disgusting in principle, it leads to a worse product. If 95% of the best comedians are straight white men, then straight white men should have 95% of the most high profile comedy gigs.
They did the same to 8 Out Of 10 Cats. They do it with age as well. They discriminate against older comedians. Younger comedians tend to be atrociously unfunny.
@@ZondaFRoadster She's atrocious.
Matt Lucas
Shooting Stars (with Vic Reeves & Bob Mortimer)
Little Britain (with David Walliams)
Doctor Who
Who's Line Is It Anyway? was originally a British show which became a massive hit in the US, including many North American performers who appeared in the UK original.
In my home town there isw a local cricket pitch. And, when we were young we'd stand at the gates with a receipt book and we'd charge people entering by car £1, we'd give them a ticket and tell them to put it somewhere visible in their car. We did that for years on every cricket match. Also during the summer months we'd go to one of the many fishing places and we'd collect £5 off the anglers and ask to see their fishing license. If they didn't have one we'd give them temporary one for the day for an extra £5. There is about 6 waters with fish in all within a 1 mile radius, so we could quickly get a nice sum of cash. I was assistant manager of the towns under 18 football team and they played on Sundays. The games took place on one of our recreational areas, funnily enough called "The Rec" (some one was quite lazy when naming things hahaha) and once again we'd stand at the gates charging the visiting teams cars £1 to enter and park. lol. We had a load of ticket books of all manor of things made. So, it all looked legitimate. We'd be wearing a money belt and a 'hi-vis' jacket, for colder months or a tabard for warmer months. There is also an unused quarry nearby that's been repurposed as a place to ride Trials bikes. Once again we'd be at the top of the farm road, taking payment for something that's free. There's also a another motocycle circuit for Moto-X (motocross). We charged people to use that too. No one ever suspected a thing because why would they? 2 blokes in high vis gear and official looking tickets... We charged people for all sorts of things. lol. Every 1st Saturday of the month there used to be a huge party in a converted barn. It was our job to sell beer and I was also one of the DJ's. But not only were we selling cans of beer (can's that we bought for £0.50p and were charging £2.50 for) out of the back of a van we were also charging people £5 to get in.
Yes, we got Jerry ! Jerry ! Jerry ! on TV. And even had a 'short lived' West End Show🙃(609 performances in London from April 2003 to February 2005 before touring the UK in 2006). 'Jerry Springer: The Opera' (was a British written musical), which won four Laurence Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical. 🤔😃
Yep, the musical which contains the song "I just wanna fucking dance", one of the greatest songs every written
Jerry Springer: The Opera, is written by Stewart Lee, Richard Herring's past partner.
It was a brilliant musical! It's the first time I've had to wade through a picket line to get to the provincial theatre to see it.
@@cheekychappy1234 - Funny thing!? I live in London (virtually on top of a Piccadilly Line tube station, only 20 mins from Leicester Square), often buying cheap theatre tickets etc. Sadly, I didn't get to see it 😢
Sweet more QI, just finished watching all ur QI and wilty back catalogue
Alan got Rick-rolled live!
(It was always gonna be him or Bob Mortimer.)
You might have seen Matt Lucas in Little Britain. He's also been in Doctor Who, among other things.
Series N has a ton of great episodes. North Norse and Nosey Noisey are both great.
And Great British Bake Off.
The only gay in the village 😄
he was also in alice in wonderland
He was also in the Bridesmaids movie with Rebel Wilson.
And shooting stars with Vic and Bob
Middle Wallop is a village in the civil parish of Nether Wallop. In the 2011 Census the population was included in the civil parish of Over Wallop.
Cariad's (which is the Welsh word for 'darling') a regular on UK panel and sketch shows. QI, WILTY, HIGNFY and 8/10 Countdown. She also has a brilliant podcast "Griefcast". Well worth a listen.
One guest I haven't seen you cover yet -- and I can't specifically recall which (Stephen) eps he's done is the ex-Communard the Revd Richard Coles.
Spent 6mo for work on Norfolk Island pre-pandemic. Loved it.
Also, Neil, I know you're a week behind on TM, but I'm very much looking forward to your reaction to *this week's* episode.
Was always a fan of the Communards. Had real joy when years later, Richard randomy turns up on some Panel shows and is always one of the funniest guys in the room. Very underrated man imo.
I'd heard "Cariad" was the Welsh word for 'love', the noun version anyway, which is often used in a similar context to 'darling'
Matt Lucas is from Little Britain alongside David Walliams, was on Shooting Stars back in the day as George Dawes (though not sure you would know that one!), and is one of the hosts of the Great Britsh Bake-Off currently.
What are the scores, George Dawes?
Ooh fun fact I have for this episode.
I was at the taping of the Christmas episode (Noel) and they got we, the audience, to record the ‘Jerry, Jerry, Jerry’ for Springer’s buzzer. So teeeechnically I’m in 2 episodes, even though the camera never pans to where I sat and it’s impossible to hear one voice in the recording 😆
Jerry Springer was born in London and was very famous even having a UK version of the show.
Cariad is a Welsh name. She is a stand up comedian. The little fish song is one my grandad used to sing when I was a child, It was very popular in the north east of England where there were a lot of fshing ports. Maybe find it as Dance For Your Daddy. Panel shows here give comedians work of course. And news commentary cemedy is especially popular. Perhaps it wouldn't do well in the US where people are less likely to be able to be critical of their politicians or celebrities. We have a long history of being ciritical as humour and of course we aren't particularly letigious. :)
Where you know Matt Lucas from?
If you've seen any British show or film from the past 20 years, chances are Matt Lucas was on it. He's been on everything from the music video for the Blur song Country House to Shaun of the Dead to Little Britain to Astro Boy to Alice in Wonderland.
He also showed up in an episode of Community and had a side role in 15 episodes of the 12th Doctor's run in Doctor Who.
If you're into musicals, you might have caught him in any of the two filmings of Le Miserables anniversary shows (25th and The Staged Concert).
I agree with your comments about QI being a possible agent of change. The lure is entertainment. The pay off is new knowledge and challenging previously held "facts". It is a show which relies heavily on the quick wit and humour of contestants and the host, who, also, must have charisma and gravitas. Just like your good self.
Alan Davies’ comments about his book no longer in print (not sure which book this is) is interesting because his recent book ‘Just Ignore Him’ about his childhood is a book that I’m finding it hard to forget - so heartbreaking and brave on such difficult topics. Highly recommend
Oh no! No you don't understand about Springer, he's lovely. He's very intelligent and quite sweet, he's also very funny. He's really a highly principled man who left politics and got into the talk show thing almost by accident. Watch the Jerry Springer Movie, its not only the best thing in the world but you will see what a nice man he is.
he spread to other countries. matt lucas is one of the co-creators of little britain, Cariad is a comedian. Rupert is a slang name for a british officer
interesting but useless fact about the replica Globe Theatre, it's the only building in London to be permitted to have a thatched roof since the Great Fire of London.
I’m on Van Island. Also hooped when the Tsunami comes.
As well as the TV series mentioned below, Matt Lucas has also appeared in a few films: Bridesmaids, Les Misérables, Shaun of the Dead and The Infidel to name a few.
He was fantastic in Alice in Wonderland :)
Funnily enough I live pretty close to a place called No Place as well! Nobody really knows where the name came from, a few theories including a derivation from North/Nigh Place!
Matt was the big baby on shooting stars, and Little Britain
You should watch Series N, Nosey Noise! No spoilers, but it has some great guests. One in particular you would not expect at a show like this.
Absolutely, I second that!
Neil is my new favourite UA-camr 😎
Did we get Jerry Springer on UK tv? Hell yeah. We also got a comic musical called "Jerry Springer The Musical" which became a cause celebre for free speech when the Church objected to it and tried to get it banned
The Jerry Springer show was pretty big here in the 90s.
It makes sense that Alan wouldn't be nostalgic, and saying childhood memories aren't pleasant is an understatement to say the least. His mother died of leukemia when he was little, and his father sexually assaulted him for years, and turned his siblings against him.
Matt Lucas hosts the Great British Bake Off, he also starred in Bridesmaids as Rebel Wilson’s brother. He was also Tweedledee and Tweedledum in Alice in Wonderland with Johnny Depp. He’s must famous (in the uk) as part of a comedy duo with David Walliams, doing sketches in Little Britain.
@9:59 that Ugandan candidate must have been a fan of Prokovjev, who made an opera about the fictional lieutenant Kije.
Matt lucas came to fame in a show called 'Little Britain' which was a comedy sketch show. But recently he's been on Great British bake off and shows like QI where he's appeared a few times since sandy has taken over
Shooting Stars surely..
The only guy in the village 😆
I used to watch 'The Jerry springer Show' in the 🇬🇧 many years ago but can't remember much about it. It couldn't have been that good if I can't remember.
Try listening to some of the BBC Radio 4 quizzes - Round Britain Quiz ( Cryptic Crossword on Steriods) or Brain of Britain
I assume that Sandi was referring to Boston in Lincolnshire which is not a city
The Longest Day is also a solid war movie about d-day and mentions the Rupert paratroopers and Lovatt and the bagpipe player. You can tell it's from the 60's but it has some great actors and still quite a well done war movie
And yes, watch Band of Brothers
Yeah I’ve done Mont Blanc back in 2008
Matt Lucas was in the latter part of Peter Capaldi's run on Dr Who and was Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland
We got springer in the uk for sure
You might know Matt Lucas from the movie "Bridesmaids".
There was a US based panel show on Netflix called The Fix
Matt has been in a lot of this, but I most recently saw him as Nardol in Doctor Who...
You may know Matt from Little Britain, Dr. Who, or Bridesmaids
They have done the McBeth facts on before, when Fry was host
Have you checked out the episode with Corey Taylor from Slipknot? One of the more suprising guests but I think he actually asked if he could do it as he loved the show. He was very good too.
Matt Lucas -> little britain, shooting stars and dr who( amongst many others) but having seen your coffee mug in a recent video i'm going to guess where you'll know him from is the episode of community with the inspector spacetime convention
series r revolutions
We didn't need Springer, we had Jeremy Kyle *shudder* That might be worth a one time reaction to be honest.
Not Catching the Folk Song Reference - Neither did Sandi, it was used as the theme tune to 1970s drama (set in the 1920s?) When the Boat Comes In (James Bolam, Susan Jamieson). Worth a watch if you can find an episode and the theme tune should be on disc somewhere
The little ditty Alan was saying came from a northern drama with James Bolam, called 'When the boat comes in' . It was a fabulous series years ago (90s, I think), but someone correct me if I'm wrong!!
The TV show was from the 70s, the song is from at least a hundred years earlier.
This isn't the first QI episode with a rickroll. Alan once mentioned being mistaken for Rick Astley in Singapore on an F series episode, but his attempt at a Singaporean accent sounded like "lick ass please" to Stephen.
Hey Niel do you listen to podcasts done by QI elves called, no such thing as a fish?
Well worth listening to.
Matt Lucas was in Bridesmaids with Rebel Wilson as siblings. He was 1/2 of Little Britain.
I thought 'Cariad' was Welsh for 'Darling' or 'Sweetheart'
QI is soooo unique it just won't work any where else 😘
There's a scen in "The longest day" with those decoy dummies.
Search for Matt Lucas in Shooting Stars.
Ah cool, I know QI has had some seemingly very random guests, but I never knew they got JERRY JERRY JERRY Springer on the show 😆
A great episode is the one guest starring "Corey Taylor" from Slipknot. One of my faves!!!
If you're looking for QI episodes with interesting and unexpected guests, try Season 14 Episode 3 (Noisy Noses) or Series 16 Episode 1 (Panimals)
The Wallops are off the A 303 . Middle Wallop, Far Wallop and Neither Wallop
I don't know if it would work here. We have more than enough talent, but I think the biggest obstacle would be travel costs for guests (The UK is tiny in comparison). I don't think anyone would take on the risk of it not working with sunk costs. There WOULD be a solution to it that could work, but would be an intense filming schedule and less of a consistent set, at least for a pilot season. Travel the host of the show, and record at comedy festivals. IE, get it as a mainstage event (so re-coup money on tickets), and do 3 - 5 of them over the week. Time would be a factor in that as well, since each episode is usually 2 - 3 hours of shooting, add an hour to turn-around to the evening performances plus pre-show and you'd likely have to start shooting at 1pm. 9am start of day for set/camera... The more I think about it, the more possible it might be!
Yeah. Channel four had Jerry, Rikki Lake and possibly Dr Phil.... Oh who was Jerry's security guy who got his own show? They had him too. Plus my all time fav, Judge Judy.
Steve Wilko?
A North American show with a similar panel show vibe and changing guests: Whose Line is it Anyway?
Yeah we had Jerry, but unfortunately later down the line we started our own version called 'Jeremy Kyle' with a similar premise but more chavy
Ah we could have had Jerry, he was born in the U.K..
I dunno what is going on in the background but it sounds like someone sucking the last part of a drink up with a straw. 🤣
Watch series O episode 1 "Ologies." It has what everyone considers Sandi's Acropolis moment. That is all I will say.
It'll be posted next week!
Yeah we got to see Jerry Springer
Have you got 'Ice' and 'Panimals' on your list of QI episodes to be reviewed?
I've got them both!
Stephen Fry was amazing as the host of a comedy gameshow that brought together wit and intelligence. He stepped down at just the right time for Sandi Toksvig to take over.
It’s changed the whole dynamic of the programme, ridding it of the toxic masculinity that was a problem with many panel shows of it’s type. (And of course subject to a BBC investigation.)
Some of the earlier episodes would not have a single female on the panel for several weeks.
To clarify. Given this particular situation. What do you mean by ‘toxic masculinity’?
I would try QI on NetFlix whatever, maybe with you, the history guy , stephen fry as guests. ( might even bring in some of the likes of The Chase quizzers ).
You probably know Matt Lucas from Dr Who?
Not Nearly is another one I like in series N, good guests
I will watch any panel show from Britain, but Australia has tried the panel show, still are, but I just don't like them. We can't capture that vibe. I think the closest we got was 'Talkin' Bout Your Generation' which was pretty good but didn't last long enough, oh, and 'Spicks and Specks' which was a music based one, that was so good and I miss that.
Jerry was on the American channels. MTV and things like that.
He wasn't on the BBC, thank the lord.
Who starts snoring around 15 minutes in????
Construction in a nearby apartment, unfortunately. I tried to filter it out from the audio, but wasn't entirely successful. Apologies.
The sad truth, and I say this with great love for my country (us), is that our celebrities are mostly stupid. We have smart ones... and funny ones... but those aren't the same ones that would draw the general viewers.
There's a noise episode featuring Corey Taylor, it's decent.
Springer has a British link. He was born in Highgate Station on the Northern line on London's tube.
During an air raid in WW2 ...
My favourite thing from Walliams and Lucas is "Come fly with me". Not very PC with all the blackface and yellowface, but it's done in good humor and so funny. Especially if you watch a lot of airport reality/documentaries.
I think the comment about Boston refers to the town in Lincolnshire rather than the US city
I think that too - Boston USA was settled by a group of people from Boston, Lincs and they named their new town after the old one.
Nardol
Everything is cooler than Kannotsingforshitey!
I hear you about how most version of British programmes don't travels well across the pond. I don't think it's the humour not translating ( you as and others who really love and appreciate what we do here in Blighty on UT has proved) but probably more to do with to do with TV networks that constantly trying to tweak and change to suit their own cultural tastes. Of which ronically the BBC is doing with most of it programming in the last few years, too much tinkering by committee trying to pander to all and sundry. No surprise there have been a mass exodus of talent leaving the corporation of late, citing its a pain in the arse to get ideas realised and made, without jumping thro a gizillon hoops. Other than Gameshows (Who's Wants To Be An Millionaire The Weakest Link) the only programmes I can think of of late that did travelled is the UK version of The Office (BBC), Whose Line Is It Anyway - quite a lot of the Americans regulars started out on the UK version, and Shameless. Both of them came from Channel 4, which sadly will be privatised before long. No doubt It ll probably sold to some American media behemoth , and whose knows, in a few years we'll be getting British knocked off versions of American Show don't translate well...
Norfolk in the UK is fabulous!!. I live near a small hamlet called Nobottle in Northamptonshire 🇬🇧 UK
You do realise that when you are talking your voice is so loud that we cannot hear the show? Which kind of defeats the purpose.
"People don't trust the educated and intelligent in America" Reagan, Bush Snr, Bush Jr, Trump. All back up your widely acknowledged observation. It's a very strange but true trait. A superiority complex.
