Television QI (Quite Interesting) BBC Series

[L2R]

Anyone else here thoroughly enjoy the regular panel show hosted by Stephen Fry and regular guest Alan Davies as well as a host of others? It's like a quiz show where the points don't really matter and they discuss and make fun of interesting factoids.

I literally laugh out loud at every episode.

but i didn't know what QI stood for until writing this up.

Classic british television. So much more entertaining than basically all of the other panel shows on here, and you actually learn from it. Can't say that about many comedy quiz shows.

^True that.

Really good show but they tend to have so many repeats of it on over the past several years, on 'Dave', that it has kind of worn out alot of its original appeal for me.

Still, when there is a good group dynamic on the panel; it can be a fantastic laugh and always interesting.

Well I started watching this after seeing your post L2R. This show is hilarious! Thanks for the tip.

I've only seen a few episodes but I love it so far. Very good indeed. Love the British humour.

 

[L2R]

my pleasure, skewered. welcome to bluelight.

wolfman, i have no idea. try torrents if it aint around. it's not like you have much of a choice in that situation.

i like how they predict incorrect answers and sirens and bells blare with the word flashing onscreen in large letters.

one particularly sweet example:

q: what was gandhi's first name
wrong answer: randy

again, best panel tv show ever

Seconded!

The best episodes are when Bill Bailey or David Mitchell are guests imo.

blow your mind, listen to the calculation.

I like it but I wish they'd change the soundtrack - it's nauseating.

i'm into season ten now and the jingle is so associated with something i love so much, it puts me in a cheerful mood as soon as i hear it.
