I love this program. I love Sandi I actually named my Puppy after her. They have very similar characteristics: funny, tiny, cheeky and great heart. ❤😂

Ive loved Sandy since No 73 back in the 80s it must have been. She has a way about her and i knew she was one of the few people who could carry the show after stephen left.

So miss Sean Lock.

I have watched this beginning multiple times and it never fails to break me up into out-loud peals of laughter.

the knowledge of Stephen Fry and his ability to recount it accurately inspired me to continue learning through out my life ( although just turning 60 I find myself more studios than ever ) originally history and Christianity but also biology and technology/science thankyou Stephen.

Alan: Is there a film about it? Stephen: Not to my knowledge. Alan: Well then i'm in trouble.

When Stephen said "easier to do a handstand in the shower", I swear he sounded like the narrator from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 🤣🐬

Funny to see Sandy as a guest in the first clip! Little did she know she would be presenting years later

Jeeves would despair of Steven's fashion choices

Why has nobody mentioned that "Pleasure Gauge" yet? Lol absolutely hilarious addition 😂😂 The giant tortoise discussion is the most hilarious thing, how David genuinely laughs... oh... outside the Acropolis song...🎉😂😂 "A cloak that covers acts of murder" excellent description Mr Einstein. Jack Whitehall showing a proper asskissing😂

14:30 min mark...This happened to me and my mum ! I lost my brother [Scott] in 2008 and like Stephen I too can not bring myself to delete his contact details. Whilst waiting at the hospital once with my mum I stumbled across late brother's details so I cheekily said to mum "Let's ring Scotty !" and so we did. ( Bear in mind this took place about 6-7 years after brother's passing ). Ring, ring...ring, ring..."hello" ! OH ! wasn't expecting it to be answered so was already thrown. "Ummm, is Scott there please ?" I asked in all silliness with my mum laughing beside me. Well fuck me what happened next had all 3 of us, mum, me & the mystery caller, wetting our pants with laughter !! After asking for Scott, the response I got from the other end was ; "Speaking"...!! 👀 !!! 😂 Short story long, just a helluva coincidence in the end. We ALL had a good chuckle after we explained what we were doing and my 'new' brother Scott even invited us to stay if we were ever in town ❤ Long Live Dead Contacts 😅

I'd listen to Stephen Fry recite the alphabet.

I was a lumberjack for fifteen years in Pennsylvania. The very real danger is, when you cut down a tree a branch will fall out of it or it will knock a branch out of another tree as it goes over, and that branch will fly back at where you are standing.

I wonder if Alan ever got his motorbike back 😅

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I feel smarter for having watched this. -An American

Always enjoy , a great show. Thank you

@12:08 "The man who never was" was not involved with the Normandy invasion. That plan was used in preparation to the invasion of Sicily

Great compilation! My dream team must be the one with Phil Jupitus, Dara O'Brian, Bill Bailey😂

I can relate to the guy forgetting his age. It changes every year so it's not that easy. I know my date of birth and work it out from there.

Ahh this would be perfect if it weren't so short!

You only take 1 stone crab claw at a time. If you took both the crab would be defenseless and starve

"Chariots of Fire" was obviously a result of them buying from the falafel tent at Glastonbury

Alan's not wrong about the word "Shapesmith." It should come back. Sounds *way* cooler than "Personal Trainer" does!

It has happened now, that a person who had had one flying lesson, whilst having his second lesson, the trainer/pilot had a stroke and passed out and he was talked down by the control tower. This happened only last year (USA 2023).

The reason we dont have mixer taps in England is because hot water comes mainly through a copper tank when being heated whereas cold water mainly comes through plastic pipes so is more fresh as it is drinking water..!

Stephen fry and Sean lock are very missed. They were amazing.

My heart hurts every time I see Sean Lock

In the film Airplane, the man who talks to the passenger flying the airliner was Robert Stack, not Lloyd Bridges, although he too, was in the film.

Oddly enough, when they were talking of deleting (or not being able to delete a person on their contact list), I actually forgot that they reuse those phone numbers. My Mum passed away and I couldn't delete her contact number. One day when I was really sad and missing her, I sent that number a text to that effect. I got a reply from a very kind person letting me know that I have the wrong number. So, I explained and they were so kind and told me that anytime I feel sad and miss Mum, I can send them a text and they'll be happy to talk to me. 😊

Stephen J. Gould held a door for me once. He was on the board of the National Portrait Gallery, where I worked. There’s a distinction for you!

Sue is constantly brilliant. If there is any present moment, she's being funny in it.. constantly

Love Sandi

What happened to the man who never was? The identity of "the man who never was" was a closely guarded secret until 1998, when it was discovered that he was called Glyndwr Michael. His grave in Huelva, Spain (near the beach at Punta Umbria) now uniquely carries both his fictional and real names.

The tortoise story 1:19 is one of my fave QI stories...

The thing about the Greek saying was wonderful

i enjoyed that guys was fascinating

Love the Monopoly story but I don't get why after finding out about that the Germans still gave out monopoly boards 😂

When they were talking about airline pilots, I thought of "Sully" movie of the real life of a amazing man who was at the right place at the right time. Another Tom Hanks movie about a real life hero.

The man who never was was carrying plans about the invasion of Sicily, not Normandy.

Bill Bailey.’That bald guy with the long hair!’

I love this so much, I am trying to share its brilliance with friends & family without much success. Some guests are clearly out of their depth but most are either brilliant or funny, some both

I caught someone trying to pilfer my garden gate the other day. I didn't say shit, in case he took a fence (offence?). Ah, Fffit, never mind!!!

I do wish that whilst talking about Alan Turing and, colossus that the brillant engineer who took the theory & actually built the machine was recognized ie a chap named Flowers.

LOL! Stephen was born 2 years after me! LOL. Such a baby boy 💚

Respect.

Really enjoyed the comment what If someone dead calls you-my mom never took dad's name off landline phone(he died at 47-she at 87&1!2)&called NYC,CT&MAat least2times a week-one babysitter took a msg frm a'man' with a very high voice

Bill Bailey ❤

Oh Alan, you are so amusing......

The reason the UK has two taps (not everywhere but in most older buildings) is because hot water was traditionally stored in a tank in the attic where it was at risk of gathering dirt (from insects, rats, mice, etc.) and was therefore suitable for washing but not for drinking and therefore couldn’t be mixed with the cold water. You’re not supposed to use the taps whilst running if you want pleasant warm water, you’re supposed to pour a bowl of it.

2:15 The Arthur Legend, I’ve heard this bedtime story before.

Everything is NOW! The Golden Present.Your thoughts and beliefs create your own realities .

This video is a great face workout.

"Is it the off switch?"

In the recording of the D-day discussion, the Secret Army had not come out of official secrets.

Jack Dee on ISIHAC is so friggin funny it is amazing. A very worthy replacement for Humph

It wasn't Turing who built Colossus, it was Thomas Flowers who worked for the telephone company..

I do love to laugh.

2:45 OH MY GOD BILL BAILEY HAS A MASTODON SHIRT ON respect +100

The Holy Family re-located to Britain around 37 AD and founded the first Christian church in the world, decades before Christianity reached Rome. Joseph of Arimathea, known in Britain as Saint Ilid, came from Aramea (Syria) and is buried in Bute Park, Cardiff.

FYI, not all segments have their own section in the video. All segments after the "all great men short" segment are contained in that one.

God i love bill 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I really fancy Jo' Brand. Am I a pervert? Cool!

"Do you not want some points, or not?" isn't a double negative, it's a redundancy. "Do you not want some points?" is a rhetorical question implying that they do indeed want some points. "Do you want some points, or not?" would be an actual question with a choice of answers.

Surely the French for innuendo would be suppositoire.

Some small commercial passenger aircraft up to ten seat including the pilots seat are single pilot operate. There have been several case of pilots dying or passing out and a passenger having landed the aircraft successfully by instructions from a pilot via radio.

Italians shout ‘ bis’ also I only understood it when I realised bisNonna is great grandmother, so grandmother, again! Bis!

Hey friends . I guess I'll see y'all at the bar 🤣

I could do this right now

that ol' country boy has huffed too much glue bro......

The UK two-tap dilemma: that is why the sink and plug exist. Put the plug in, fill up the sink with both cold and hot water, and it allows you to regulate the water temperature!

That feel when you tap your phone screen and the red line is almost across the bottom of the video ( ._.)

Heat pumps are a thing all over europe and north america

He was called gwyndor Michaels

Actually Apples logo came from the artist seeing a bite taken from an apple and seeing the pun in bite and byte like megabytes or terabytes

It wasn't Los Alamos, it was Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

I read 1984 last year

Is the random bursts of music deliberate, or have they just hired a sound guy who doesn't know which button does what?

1:07 Jacob Rees-Mogg will have something to say about that

In the “How would you land a plane?” section Stephen claims that’s there has never been an example in commercial aviation where a passenger has had to land a plane; United Flight 93 had to be brought down by passengers after the flight crew were murdered by the hijackers on 9/11. Unfortunately we all know how that ended.

I happen to know Aramathea was the original name for Gilford.

I think Jan Smuts was an exception

I would love to be sitting beside him he is so lovely. But I would love to be sitting beside Stephen before anyone I miss him

King Charles will be on the England money and I find this show educational and fun. Crab -arm grow back-might call it Dead Pool Crab.

Good for now

banana in tagalong (filipino) is saging

There was actually an incident of a plane losing both pilot and copilot, Helios Airways Flight 522, though it was in 2005.

Did Dobby say executer and not executor?

ne ... pas, is NOT a double negative

If you know, you know!

11:01 sounds more like David Mitchell

Hitler showed Chaplin movies to subordinates.

So no means no, but yes is better? :) Reflexes....heh. I kicked my doctor in the bollocks when he positioned himself poorly and checking my knee.

like most governments they really had no idea

41:25 Surely you can't be serious.

Clarkson's India facts: 1. Wrong Aaaaaaand 2. Wrong

1:29:30 There are cases in which defendants have attempted to get out of criminal charges by claiming that their actions were the result of epileptic seizures. In People v. Grant, 360 N.E.2d 809 (Ill. App. 1977), the court held that the act of striiking a police officer was involuntary, but the defendant could be held responsible if it was found on remand that his drinking prior to the incident was reckless and caused the seizure.

Strictly speaking it came from the Od Testament first.

I NEARLY got that question right when Stephen said Joseph was named after plaice ....... But *then he wasn't called Joseph Fish after all* . No wonder folk are confused by theology is all I can assume.

0000 0000 Hmmm easy to remember *ANNIHILATE* !

Mmm, chocolate sauce.....mmm.
