    Alright folks,

    Anyone ever watch this show?

    Heard it mentioned on the Last Word today and they were raving about it

    I quite like Stephen Fry, so should enjoy it

    But I've never watched an episode before, even though it's had like 5 seasons so far :eek:

    They said on the radio that it's back with a new season, anyone know what channel and time it's on?

    Its actualy one of the funniest shows ive ever seen on TV. Stephen and the regular guy on it Alan davies just bounce off each other. Check it out on youtube.

    Jesus Dave, QI is on you all the time!

    Its an hilarious program and always provides some interesting facts.

    You watch quality BBC shows like QI and it puts a sobering perspective on the crap RTE puke out.

    The two have great chemistry all right. Great show. Always good for a laugh and rarely if ever disappoints. The great thing is you'll learn from it and get to bring up useless facts all the time.

    Where the hell have you been for the last 6 years?



    Of course now its been appropriated by BBC 1 its gone down hill :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    So ehh, it's good then? :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    Not as good as it used to be (I think it's been proven that BBC2 series that get transfered to BBC1 suffer a bit)

    Get thee to Youtube, Dave. You have a lot to catch up on.
    One of the best TV shows of the last decade.

    Agree with this, but it's still one of the funniest shows on TV, and can be quite interesting too.

    Matt Cooper has really sank in my estimation, he said he never seen it and doesn't know what it's about, does he go home and climb under a rock in the evenings :)

    I actually have the book also, would recommend it.............tis a great "jacks" read.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,706 ✭✭✭120_Minutes


    Brilliant programme, especially when along with fry and davies you'd have a golden lineup of rich hall, bill bailey, jimmy carr and sean locke.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,067 ✭✭✭L31mr0d


    Yeah QI is very good, have the DVR set to record it whenever it's on. I like the way they adorn the stage with loads of Fibonacci Spirals. It's like what a mathematician would do if asked to design a stage that was eye catching :p

    I've never watched an episode that hasn't made me laugh in equal measures to saying "huh! I did not know that"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,001 ✭✭✭✭opinion guy


    Meh. its a bit forced. Also it has Jimmy Carr in it, which is reason enough to dislike anything imho
