My final post of the day: Which are your favorite QI episodes?

[tzikeh]

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT QI IS:

To watch the first four series of QI (only 12 episodes of 30 minutes each), complete on YouTube, go here--Series A-D.. For the next two series, plus as much of the current series that we're in now, go here--E-F-G.

You won't be sorry. And you will learn about the Acropolis, eventually. But don't go looking for that clip until you've seen a few episodes.

****************************

I'm going to give some friends of mine a few episodes of QI, to introduce them to the show. I'm pretty sure I don't just want to hand them Season One--I want to hook them right off the bat, and the show was still finding its footing at that point (not to say there aren't great episodes of QI in season 1).

If you have a few absolute favorite episodes (for me that's an episode that combines hilarity and fascinating info), can you let me know in comments? If you're not certain which season, or what number episode, I can probably find that info online if you can describe a few of the questions or jokes or who was on the panel.

AHA! QI TRANSCRIPT SITE!

If you can find the ones you love the best, just point me to them

List as many as you like!

Yeah, the Christmas one and the classic "Acropolis" can only be viewed after knowing the show.

I'll look around for the Bill-Bailey-Alan-Davies smackdown with CLUES from your COMMENT! Thanks!

Stephen
In Alan's world, knowing something is a kind of freakish, weird thing. So . . .

Alan
[poises index finger and laughs openly]

Stephen
"Explain how you know something!" Alan would love to know the mystery of this.

Bill
Well, welcome to my world of knowing! The wonderful world of . . . looking up things in books.
