In the States, it would be with some very formal host, some totally not funny insult comedians and only very obvious answers as the producers would like everyone to quiz along.
I arrived in London on a Friday. I didn't want to go out that first night so was excited to be able to watch QI, a new episode, fresh on British TV. It was a rerun.☹️
I'm sure it's online somewhere, but the series isn't even over yet, still have around 10 episodes left to air. It will come very soon if it hasn't already. I'm in Canada so I'm in the same boat, but I've not attempted to look for episodes yet.
If (if!?) there is a final season of Q.I., then the last episode should be called 'Zenith'. And I do hope they do an 'In Memoriam' episode, to commemorate all the talented people who were guests on the show but are no longer with us: Sean Lock, John Sessions, and especially Carrie Fisher (amongst others)!
I think Sandi is fantastic! She's incredibly smart, very witty, has a great laugh and a keen sense of humor. I adored her short stint on the Great British Baking Show with Noel, but I kind of figured she was destined for bigger things.
I'm not sure if there is more of the interview, but did anyone else notice that all of the questions were directed at Alan? I love him, and he handled it well, but when Sandy was talking, it was 'yes, ok, Alan, tell us'? It wasn't like Sandy was dominating conversation , so they needed to get Alan in, i thought that was a bit rude.
But AA is the old way of writing the letter now known as Å. It still appears occasionally in names that never were adjusted to the new spelling, or if we're forced to use the 26 letters of the English alphabet (like when ordering airline tickets abroad).
It would make sense, as we know from QI, facts have a half-life, and so many new things have been discovered so it isn't like they will run out of material. The more you learn, the more learning there is to do.
''Nice work if you can get it, and if you get it, won't you tell me how? '' paid to have playtime and with celebrities, that's not a job, that's a golden comedy career . We're Lucky Alan has been there the whole time, he really is the drive behind the show. LOL we do love Sandi though, she picked up the reins and hasn't looked back, can't, careening !!
Is there a Danish version of Qi? And of course it's a given that Stephen Fry has to be a guest on the final edition of the show; maybe with a handfull of Qi's favourite guests or alumni?
Interesting that Sandy had the Danish letters ordered as Ø, Æ and Å, because that's not how they're ordered in the Danish alphabet. It'd be like pointing out that the last three letters of the English alphabet are Y, X and Z. It's not wrong, but it's not exactly right either. It's not even an order of letters that are in the Scandinavian languages. In the Danish and Norwegian alphabets, the last three letters are Æ, Ø and Å In the Finnish and Swedish alphabets, the last three letters are Å, Ä and Ö
@@tjfSIMShe's not 'fake' exactly but she rather overstate her ties to Denmark a bit sometimes. She seems to have a big emotional attachment to it but she didn't grow up there or anything like that.
@@neiledgson6737 According to what I can find she grew up in America untill the age of 14, so 12-13 years spent there - in my book that is more than "some time".
Not sure where you’re thinking off but even on 21 December they have about 7 hr of daylight. It’s about the same latitude as Glasgow in the UK and Quebec.
@@Oligodendrocyte139 I guess you have missed the episode with Rob Gilbert and his great knowledge of Denmark! ;) ua-cam.com/video/jaG8PpJx-PQ/v-deo.html
After Sandi does the three extra shows for the three extra letters of the Danish Alphabet we could have a short run with a Welsh guest presenter doing the extra Welsh letters.
Alan and Sandi have done a great work together. Sandi is just amazing. I do not enjoy stephen that much because sometimes you can tell that he was arrogant.Always love alan because he is a brilliant sidekick who knows what he should do to please the audiences. He is brilliant with his role.
I know sometimes people think alan has been “too much ”but you have to admit that sometimes some guests were not that interesting and for sake of the show alan has to be funny.
I strongly recommend that you find a good dictionary, and look up the word "arrogant"... Stephen Fry is in no way arrogant. He just knows more than you do. The mere fact that he is as intelligent as he is is clearly a threat to someone like you, and so you immediately put what you think is a negative label on him.
More than enough people have flagged the errors and you've now had a month for corrections. So why does the video title still have Sandi Toksvig's name misspelled?
Its called QI - not the alphabet... They can switch the format easily. Popular show... lots of followers..... Easy to re-invent. Personally I'd love to see a head to head with the two hosts... same goes for Rachel and Carol over in countdown.... - just an all out show....
@@MadcapShambleton The pedantry related specifically and exclusively to a semi-literate comment. The content of the accompanying video is entirely irrelevant.
@@SMHman666 I’m not the one posting a video dingleberry. I can spell her name Scandy here and not have a care in the world. I can even spell your name Robert Cock if I want. It is more apt I feel.
I like Sandi a lot she's definitely been a worthy successor to Stephen Fry, however the standard of guests/panellists have been dire for the past few series of QI. I rewatched the from series A recently and it was overall a funnier, more entertaining show up until the pandemic. Ever since then it's been mediocre at best.
Just watched the Coconut opening clip and wot do u know? She spilt every last drop of coconut water,not a stitch left,contrary to the statement just given that not a single drop was spilt! Memory not as strong as wanted
Sigh. The point was that, instead of bothering with any of the 'necessary' tools the show provided, she cracked the coconut in half with one strike on the floor.
Alan Davies ruined QI for me. He always has to get the camera on himself, no matter how loud and obnoxious he has to get in order to do it. Just cringe-worthy, and I finally gave up on what was otherwise a brilliant show. It's a shame because he can actually act when he wants to.
I love QI ...I still rewatch all the old seasons ...glad I have them all on file
they're also on youtube
@@FussyPickles Its easier to put 3 or 4 episodes on at a time
I love watching them at different times in their lives .😊
Never thought Stephen Fry could be replaced but Sandi has done it magnificently
She’s rude about cats
@@WonderLady yes😔😻
@@WonderLady and ???
@@WonderLady I'm sure the cats don't mind
She has replaced him but she hasnt done it well.
They bring me such joy.
Alan is worlds best mimic. Period. Marcel Marceau go home🥸
@@henrikbunkenborg6743 "Alan" is about as funny as a bleeding anus.
I wish we could see it 'live' in the States
and is Aus
I think the closest we can get over here is Brit box or something like that
Eventually you can find it on daily motion or youtube, but yes you'd need britbox to watch it sooner.
Gotta love how much content is on youtube

Great to see Sandi back and feeling better x

"First on a wing; then on a prayer."
Sorry. I'll buzz off.
Sandy was the BEST Stephen Fry replacement... They did a great job...
I agree. Couldn't have got a better replacement
I second that! I had to get used to the change, but like Adam said: "she is in the right chair". 😁
Thanks from California. Q.I. is entertaining and interesting. Wit and intelligence. Only in the U.K. could Q.I. exist. Carry on.....
There's also the old English letters we now use th for: þ and ð :D Plenty of seasons left!
They could easily start back at A again and do different subjects
Do questions about the number 1 then 2 then 3 and the show could go on for years
Yes Sandy, make it bloody happen. Sophie Rundle and Suranne Jones back together on telly would be a dream. 🤞
I wish we could see any of series U in the States! I love this show and miss it dearly!

After Z, they can make at least 10 more episodes. Going form 0 to 9...
I love Sandi's Marius pattern scarf!
More QI interviews please!!
I think Sandi is fantastic! She's incredibly smart, very witty, has a great laugh and a keen sense of humor. I adored her short stint on the Great British Baking Show with Noel, but I kind of figured she was destined for bigger things.
I'm 100% up for some episodes in Copenhagen! Tivoli perhaps?
Alan is wonderful too

Love QI so much❤❤❤❤❤
Alan wasn’t in every episode (properly)! He missed the episode on divination in series D
Due to unforeseen circumstances?
@@Skraeling1000 Alan went to see Arsenal playing the Champions league final against Barcelona
QI has the strangest scoring system of any Quiz/Panel Show
I think once they’ve done Z, they’ll just come back round to A again, only it will be series AA.
But AA is the old way of writing the letter now known as Å. It still appears occasionally in names that never were adjusted to the new spelling, or if we're forced to use the 26 letters of the English alphabet (like when ordering airline tickets abroad).

Well, Sandra actually. Sandra Birgitte Toksvig.
Always suspected she was balkan tho 😂
That's what happens when unofficial videos are posted, so either appreciate the content or not.

Thank you.
I pay for BritBox so I can watch QI
