You can drink on British TV shows. The Graham Norton show makes effective use of this.
Chattey Man.
@@mcarter9839 Love Alan's 🌍 bar!!
you can even drink in public, like a grown up.
@@Thisandthat8908 Many areas in London streets and parks have drinking restrictions
On Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled the guests often have wine, beer or spirits as their chosen drink.
Neil, I have to say that I look forward to your QI reactions every week. Like waiting for the next episode of my favorite TV show.
A good Sandi episode I'd definitely recommend is the N series episode "North Norse". Really dives a lot into her heritage.
Wetherspoons is a chain of pubs. Famous for being basically traditional pubs but very low prices. Much beloved by those being careful with their money and chronic alcoholics. Also, each pub usually has a quirky name based on the history of the building or the local area.
At least on late night television alcoholic drinking is allowed in Britain, or you'd never have The Graham Norton Show. I've probably said it before, but I feel like QI episodes are like being invited to a particularly good dinner party. Even the worst of them leave me feeling good, most of them are a fantastic time, and the best of them give me memories that last forever.
James Acaster is best at stand-up comedy and has a great set of interwoven shows on Netflix called Repetoir.
He also has clips of his last show on his own UA-cam channel.
They're great. It's not so much an "angry young man" persona, more "angry at himself young man". I think some people miss that.
GCHQ is "Government Communications Headquarters", basically the UK equivalent of the NSA. It's been around a long time, but really came into its own during WW2 when it was based at Beltchley Park and did sterling work on the Enigma project, among other things. It remains very secretive, and somewhat controversial - as is the nature of the security services in general.
Beat me to it👌
When I recommended this episode, there were two main reasons - it was recent, which you were doing at the time, and the two non-James guests were ones you hadn't seen yet. You've since seen Cariad Lloyd in several places including the Jerry Springer episode, but this is a first for the unique character of Daliso Chaponda. He and Munya Chawawa stand out from the African-British comedians you usually see at least partly because of their atypical nationalities - usually these Africam backgrounds come from only 2 countries, South Africa and Nigeria. Daliso has such unique perspective from his life, he has some other Malawi-specific factoids in his debut episode (Series Q, Episode 1) and he's just such a jovial fellow, who came up in the comedy and panel show world surprisingly honestly given his family. He actually was first noticed by appearing on Britain's Got Talent, where he finished third (about as high as you can expect for anyone without musical accompaniment).
GCHQ = Government Communications Headquarters, basically it's the UK version of the NSA
In the same vein as the phone operators with strong regional accents, the most secure way of messaging is probably my handwriting because I sometimes can't even read it myself
Keep in mind that James is a drummer and also a bit of an anarchist punk, hence his approach is informed by these two aspects.
We would've got an inspector gadget reference
I watched it a lot in the 80s/90s. Early mornings on channel 4.
I remember old episode where Vic Reeves' buzzer had Inspector Gadget theme.
Both QI & Taskmaster in the same day! Nice!
We certainly had Inspector Gadget here. I loved the cartoon as a kid in the late 80's. I noticed it on a digital channel in the early 2000's, but i'm guessing a lot of younger people haven't heard of it.
I grew up just down the road from GCHQ, and I was always happy, back in Cold War days, to realise that should the worst happen then we'd be gone in the first wave of the bombing. No struggling thro a nuclear Winter survival for us - happily gone in an instant 🙂
Neil, you really should take a look at some of the highlights from Graham Norton's show. If you particularly want to see the effect of alcohol start with Matt Damon: "This is the Most Fun I've Ever Had on a Talk Show." Jennifer Lawrence is also great.
Episodes of the Graham Norton Show when Greg Davies or Miriam Margulies are guests are among my favourites. Regardless of the celebrities, though, the show is thoroughly enjoyable!
Matt Damon was also referencing his 'feud' with Jimmy Kimmel.
GCHQ. It's a branch of intelligence shared by 5 and 6. It stands for "Government Communication HQ"
James Acaster ignoring Alex Horne was one of the greatest recurring bits on Taskmaster, alongside Alice Levine's string of pet names for him. I'm surprised that made you dislike him.
What are the rules about drinking on British TV... See Graham Norton, the guest get quite merry 🤣
I think he was introduced onto QI in Stephen's final series (series M), an episode about mixes. I just remember a crude joke about the buzzers in that episode.
Who was introduced? James?
@@samfisher6606 yeah James
I was going to say this too , don't know if there's been a reboot like with some other cartoons from our era but I loved inspector gadget in the 80s !
I would suggest that you check episodes with Claudia Winkleman on Would i lie to you. You know how Bob Mortimer flabbergasts David Mitchell, well she does the same to Lee Mack. Plus it is always a blast to listen to her stories.
She’s always entertaining. And completely bonkers.
Wetherspoons is like a british pub version of applebees lol
WWI mining under trenches also has another movie called Beneath Hill 60, well worth a watch.
I am with you, I thought Inspector Gadget to! Yes it was shown in the UK
I think part of it with John/David is the fact that John accepts it/doesn't care,whereas David could be a bit moany...🤔
If you like James's stories, you have to read his book, Classic Scrapes, still the funniest book I've ever read.
+ He has 4 specials on Netflix, all are worth a watch.
GCHQ is the Government Communications Headquarters, similar to the Canadian CSE (Communications Security Establishment), US NSA-National Security Agency
I've seen Daliso Chaponda live, he is a brilliant stand up comedian.
Shaken not stirred: while shaking a martini would ruin it from a martini aficionado’s perspective, I’ve always assumed that Bond’s reason was tactical. Shaking a martini melts more ice and dilutes the drink, letting bond drink less alcohol than it appears he is. His order probably doesn’t give the trick away, at most seeming like he has poor taste in cocktails.
Wetherspoons is a very cheap bar chain that buys near expired kegs of beer and because of the footfall they can offer beer at half the price of most pubs. They also do things like meal deals, burger chips and a beer for £5 (6-7 CAD).
Because of the cheapness it gets a bad rap for being an alcoholics hangout, where at my local one there are regularly a steady dozen queuing up at 7.30am for that morning fix.
Worth mentioning that part of its philosophy is absolutely no music, so the ambience is created by the banter of the patrons.
Oh, and the toilets are often a 5km hike away that requires survival supplies for a successful expedition.
@@paulbarlow9981 yes there is no music or live sport... not a philosophy though, the size of the places mean that the entertainment licence fees are huge, which would result in the beer prices rising totally eradicating their niche. Fair play though, it's not awful, you get what you pay for and if you feed a family of 4 for £15 with drinks you can't complain...yet most still do.
Love the QI reactions! 😊
We Brits will drink anywhere let's me honest. That does include TV
Others have/will probably mention it, but if you want to see James Acaster at his best you should check out his Netflix specials if they're available in Canada. Also his Off Menu podcast with Ed Gamble is very good.
You'd love the show " As Yet Untitled "
They seem to Taylor the question like you say to new people to break them into the format, Brian Blessed has a great story about meeting Picasso near where I live, I never knew about till not long ago but ive seen the picture in Sheffield the story was about
Neil is right , some guests are more suited to this show - not that they ever have bad ones - and that is probably reflected in the number of times They are invited . This was a "Quite interesting " , relaxed show , exactly what it says on the can and I enjoyed it .
There's at least 1 more QI episode with James acaster that I remember. Bridget Christie was on that one
oh neil, please tell me ure going to watch the new episodes of i literally just told u, with jimmy carr. pretty please? the new series already started ♥
Daliso came to fame through Britain's Got Talent. One of the best things to come through that show. His stand up is brilliant.
As far as I'm aware the only rule about drinking on TV is you have to be 18. Are you not allowed to drink in Canada on TV if of legal age (idk if it's 18 or 21?)
Wetherspoons is like the McDonalds of pubs. A corporate chain with low cost alcohol, cocktails, pub food. They've basically destroyed the independant local pubs. It's high volume, low cost and they are always inhabited by scum and criminals. Any time I've been persuaded to go into one on nights out, I always get the feeling someone will be stabbed before the night is over. They are good if you want a cheap and large breakfast in the morning, but otherwise they are not desirable. They're the last chance saloons of the UK. I'll happily pay a little extra for my pint and go elsewhere if it means I don't get killed by meth addicts.
GCHQ is the Government Communications Headquarters, it's the British NSA (or CSIS).
I used to regularly go to the Wetherspoons in Caversham the Baron Cadogan and that was not bad. Probably just that the area was more middle class. Any way that one changed owners in 2019. It was run as an independent pub after that but has now become an Indian restaurant Clay’s Hyderabadi Kitchen.,
Was this filmed without an audience?
Virtual audience. Using something like zoom or teams
Neil, you are starting to be Alanized. 18:15
On the topic of penetration parties, you might find Deviant Ollam interesting (more for personal elucidation, I suspect; don’t know if anyones ever done a reaction video to his presentations :-p ). He’s pretty much the public face of penetration testing, which is really fascinating in terms of security and social engineering.
GCHQ is the Government Communication Headquarters
Drinking on British TV is often encouraged, thats why Graham Norton show gets a little ruder and risqué than normal interview formats.
They drink on tv here. Watch Justin timberlake on the Johnathan Ross show or mark wahlberg on the Graham Norton show.
Government Communications Head Quarters.
I dont know if this even comes near being classic QI maybe bottom 10%, still good though QI is always good.
Yea J.D Wetherspoons or just Weatherspoons is a chain of very cheap bars. With cheap food and beer.
Or even just 'Spoons'...
number dyslex irt
Wetherspoons is a chain of pubs famous for running traditional pubs by selling cheap awful beer and terrible microwaved food
Sure you can consume alcohol on British TV and you also can fucking swear as well and show nudity.
So basically everyone paid for the air force.
Which is the case with most military branches around the world, to be fair.
