Didn't realise CB.Fry was so talented , of course the name is legendary in sport . I'm with Jodi on the King offer . Linda Smith was a contributor on many panel shows , fondly remembered .
I love Jodi claiming to be a "hider" whilst at the same time asking as many people as possible to " like and subscribe" at the beginning of every reaction. Please keep up the great work 😂😂❤❤❤
Victoria Wood was the Wood of Wood & Walters. Walters you may have seen in Harry Potter, Victoria Wood is a multifaceted Comedian, Actress, Lyricist, Singer, Composer, Pianist, Screenwriter, Producer, and Director who died in 2016 I think.
Joseph Darby (6 August 1861 - 22 December 1937) was a renowned jumper from the Black Country village of Netherton, in Dudley, Worcestershire. He specialised in spring jumping (jumping starting from a stationary position) often using weights in his hands to help propel him. After taking part in competitive jumping at venues in the Midlands and North of England in the 1880s, he went on to perform at theatres in London and Paris and crossed the Atlantic to exhibit in North America. Village is not how I'd describe Netherton, which is just up the road, village creates an entirely wrong impression, just part of the Dudley sprawl. His statue is beside the main road into Dudley opposite Ma Pardoe's. Main, LOL think minor side road. The statue will normally be clad in a scarf & hat from one of the local football teams. It's weird, it's him atop a globe, grouching ready to spring with weights in both hands, but actually looks like he's been caught short after a vengeful curry. Caught short English idiom. Also opposite is a life size replica of an anchor from the Titanic, which was cast locally, that's how much of a village Netherton is.
Great timing from you guys. I was hoping for something short to watch before bed as i still have a bit of beer in my can. I see two of my favourite reactors have posted one of my favourite shows.
Jodi definitely has the correct answer here. For all the reasons she stated. And i dont know one thing about Albania but if they just had a king deposed, who then fled the country, it's probably not the greatest situation to walk into. Definitely not the glamorous ideal of crowns and cash Nick is imagining. 🤷♂️
The lady in this vid is Linda Smith. I and friend of mine took her to the pub when she did a gig in Bath, and she was just as funny and lovely as she sppears here, and she I'm pretty sure she was wearing that very tee-shirt too.
You’re not doing very well with finding Victoria Wood. Two Soups starred *Julie Walters.* Try *The Pam Song,* or *Political Correctness Gone Mad.* Victoria did some great standup as well as her songs, for which she was famous. Try *Victoria Wood - Step Aerobics.*
Others have spoken about Linda Smith and her sad early death. I was recently watching an old edition of QI and Linda, Sean Lock and John Sessions were all on it, all QI regular guests and all of whom had subsequently died. I am not for a moment suggesting a “conspiracy theory “ and that the show somehow has a curse on it. My understanding is that they all died of natural causes. But I just find this fact “Quite interesting”. Watch out Alan, keep taking the medication.
CB Fry suggested that we teach the Germans how to play cricket because it is a sport for gentlemen and therefore Kaiser Wilhelm would have prevented World War I from taking place.
The woman you thought was Victoria Wood is Linda Smith. Sadly she died in 2006 of cancer. Victoria Wood also died in 2016 of cancer too. Two very sad losses.
Modern day Royals have to serve the people, they may have money but they have to tread such a fine line, remain aloof and be just a figurehead having few ways of expressing any personal opinions. It isn’t something a person would enjoy unless they were born in to it….or even then.
I wouldn't want to Queen or King of England ...all those appointments and never allowed to have a real opinion and staying neutral would drive me mad living a life of duty ...
Do you think that .. if you become king, you be Happier then you are now.. Kingdom or Queen comes with a lot of pressure, it's not as 200 years ago that you're word is law, no, everyone comes with a another opinion to help you, everybody is your [friend], you get a lot of duty's, and other woman try to make you deforce so they can married to you, they spread roomers to split you and your woman apart. i know it's nice to dream about these things but, .. If you are happy Married [with much Love as it looks like] and you're work life is not pressing to much stress on you, Choose your Heart and stay Happily our life, you know now who to trust and who not, You 2 are 1, don't give up on that.
It’s Linda Smith
Lovely to see Linda Smith again gone far to early.
She was very funny.
RIP.
That is not Victoria Wood but Linda Smith. A very funny lady, but like Wood, sadly no longer with us.
Didn't realise CB.Fry was so talented , of course the name is legendary in sport . I'm with Jodi on the King offer . Linda Smith was a contributor on many panel shows , fondly remembered .
That's not Victoria Wood. It's the amazing Linda Smith.

For context it's 8:50 on Friday morning in England. My bodyclock is different to most people lol.
C B Fry played for my football club in the 1902 F A Cup final, which ended in defeat.
Shes not Victoria Wood, her name escapes me at the mo but she was very funny and unfortunately died very young, i think her last name was Smith.
Linda Smith
Yes, that was Linda Smith who sadly 'passed' in 2006... While Victoria Wood 'passed' in 2016... 😢
I think their conversations at the end are more entertaining than the content they watched.
King Zog of Albania stayed at my great aunts guest house in Frinton when he was on the run.
Brilliant 😊 half-board?
I'm talking 'bout the.... King and Queen, of Americaaaaaaah
Cheers guys!
Linda Smith not Victoria Wood

You didn't know who CB Fry was so you spoilt the video by looking it up.
Nice one :)
You really haven't got the hang of QI yet have you?
You havent got the hang of tact

No it’s not Victoria Wood, it’s Linda Smith.
That is not Victoria Wood, it's the late and widely missed Linda Smith.
Ahmed Zogu became King Zog of Albania in 1928.

The good thing with q i clips is you dont have to learn about the subject as it is always explained in every question.
So worry not in future lol
The woman you thought was Victoria Wood is Linda Smith. Sadly she died in 2006 of cancer.
Victoria Wood also died in 2016 of cancer too.
Two very sad losses.
Time to watch the Movie "King Ralph", about an American that becomes the King of England.
I saw one about a German becoming the King of England but that was a documentary.
That's not Victoria wood lol
Most Americans don't know what monarchs do. You wouldn't want the job.
Modern day Royals have to serve the people, they may have money but they have to tread such a fine line, remain aloof and be just a figurehead having few ways of expressing any personal opinions. It isn’t something a person would enjoy unless they were born in to it….or even then.

No way you’d turned down being Queen! It’s a life without money a life with anything you want
It’s also a life of boring meetings where you have to constantly play a role.
I would. I look terrible in a dress and I'd worry about my beard getting caught in the sceptre.
Do you think that .. if you become king, you be Happier then you are now..
Kingdom or Queen comes with a lot of pressure, it's not as 200 years ago that you're word is law,
no, everyone comes with a another opinion to help you, everybody is your [friend], you get a lot of duty's,

Choose your Heart and stay Happily our life, you know now who to trust and who not,
You 2 are 1, don't give up on that.
He's nowhere near the greatest all rounder Britain has ever produced. Max Woosnam was the greatest British sportsman by far.
I love you nick, but do yourself a favour and let the missus make all the important decisions!
I agree. I should. …But I just can’t help myself
I was offered a Throne once but used a Bucket instead.🚽
That is not Victoria Wood! How dare you take her name in vain! 🤬😉
