It is a shame then that so much of the cleverness is inaccurate nonsense. Still, if it makes the curious re-check informed sources for the truth then that is no bad thing.

It comes to something when Alan Davis, the stooge "idiot", comes out of a programme looking one of the most sensible and mature members of the panel.

Maybe you're getting mixed up with Barry Cryer?

What did he do worse than Davies and Bailey? Maybe he was a dick for joining in but it was his first appearance and probably thought that joining in was the way to go instead of sitting back saying nothing like Tennant.

Yes, but Alan Davies served a specific purpose..he usually gave the commonly accepted answer, heralding the claxton.
He originally represented the the viewers on the show, giving the answers we had grown up believing. He still showed interest in the subject matter, often coming up with some clever anecdotes relating to the questions. He was/is an intelligent guy, occasionally playing the fool for the sake of the show.
I admit, the exchanges between Vegas and Brydon were amusing..but they allowed Johnny to dominate the show and he's just not THAT funny.

At least this is funny, but when did it get so damned short?

[mandormark]

Quite a lot. Too many people seem to think QI is the final word, and what the programme says is true. Remember, the QI researchers are just that, they are not specialists in any field.

Doubt it. As I've mentioned before,this series was recorded months ago - proof of which David Mitchell said he was 34, which he was at the time, but he is now 35.

I loved the references to pregnancy and things you can do to try and make your children intelligent. Alan Davies's wife would have been about three months pregnant at the time of recording and I am sure the other members of the panel knew that and played up to it without actually mentioning it.

As for iPlayer - maybe also check your friendly YouTube for uploaRAB.

That'll be Dame Edna then.

Presumaby, because Vegas hijacked the program and kept going tangentially off-topic .....
