interesting how all the places in the world Brian Blessed has been have legends of a great hairy man bellowing in the woods....
🤔🤔 think you might be on to something there
Orang pendek (Sumatra) = short man, not upright man
Brilliant comment 😂👏
He says he met a lot of people who claims the believe in Yeti.
Follow up question should be, did they believe in Yeti before they met Brian?
I mean, if a Yeti came up to me and asked me if I believed it was real I would probably say yes.
@@skunkrat01 ooo
Brian Blessed hollering like Tarzan when talking of his Yeti brethren...
My day is now complete.
He did provide the Tarzan yell for the Disney movie
Brian certainly has a healthy set of lungs
Brian was a boxer in his youth
Blessed are you for giving me this fellow’s name...I shall now go and look him up
@@ben10the10 He was perfect as Edmund Blackadder's father, the king, in Blackadder Season 1.
Brian Blessed actually met a yeti, wrestled and captured it with his bare hands, but let it go as a matter of honour.
I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out Brian Blessed was actually a fictional character who was brought to life.
He was the shiniest of Stephen's* creations.
Victor Frankenstein cobbled him together from bits of Dickens' Ghost of Christmas Present and Conan Doyle's Professor Challenger.
That bellowing cry sounded like something straight out of Disney's Tarzan! ☺️
@@QUARTERMASTEREMI6 he was in tarzan he played clayton and also did tarzans shout
Ikr he seems like Tom Bombadil from the works of tolkin
In Josh's defence, he was asked what road he previously said the Hairy Hand haunted. On this occasion, he was right.
That's a fabulously niche quibble. Are you related to the chap who wrote in about the road number in the first instance?
But he was being docked posthumously . . .
to the guy who pointed this out (was it Ian Dunne?)
Seth Meyers has an internet online inclusive exclusive called Corrections where you will feel right at home with us other jackals.
Someone doesn’t have a life
@@3brooksieboy It's the difference between truth and fact. Josh's answer was true, not factually correct.
I could listen to Stephen Fry talk for hours. He is so intelligent and calm. Doesn't come across pretentious, just educational.
You'd love his audio books then! I highly recommend Mythos
He is like an awesome teacher, delights in learning something new and others learning new things, and always ready to have a laugh.
I second this! Fry narrated a collection of Sherlock Holmes stories only available on Audible, so I highly recommend you listen to it! ❤️
He narrated part 5 of Hitch-hikers
Doesn’t come across as pretentious? 😂😂😂 ok
“Shut up, I know something.”
Ross is AMAZING. XD
Edit: @1:19 😁
Saw him live a few months back ... fabulous!
The name of the road was so close, for him to even remember what he said after a year was more impressive
Yeah, I was wondering about that. I know some of it is rehearsed so possibly he was asked or reminded of it before the show
he was brought up in that area
Brian Blessed doing the Tarzan yell is probably among the greatest occurances to happen in this timeline next to the invention of penicillin
He did it in the film too.
@@jamesedmonds7519 and played clayton
BRIAN BLESSED is as mad as a bottle of chips. Love him.
You'd have to be mad to put chips in bottles. What an odd expression.
Strikes me that Dr. James Moffett went to all that trouble because he'd seen how many artifacts almost get broken by the QI team. "Give em the 3D printed copy".
The book doesn't actually give Frankenstein's creation a name. At one point, when talking to Dr. Frankenstein, he refers to himself as "the Adam of your labors." But that Biblical reference certainly doesn't mean he considered Adam to be his own true name. On the other hand, the full title of the novel is "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus," which has led some people to the even more confounding assertion that the monster should be called Prometheus (even though the analogy in the title is clearly to Frankenstein, not the monster). In the book, he is referred to by many terms, including "monster" as well as "creature," "daemon," "ogre," etc. He has no proper name. His anonymity reflects an essential part of his character as entirely new and indescribable, not fully human, and impossible to fit into society.
The error of referring to the monster itself as "Frankenstein" (either due to having not read the book or due to the presumption that the creation would take his "father's" surname) apparently happened very quickly after the publication of the novel, even before the first stage adaptations.
Adam itself isn't technically a name, in Hebrew it just means "human".
@@CalvinLimuel but there are thousands with that name
Am I right in remembering that the book also never states that the creature is made of old body parts? I seem to recall that Shelly describes him disecting body parts to learn their working and then improving on them, but then never recording the process so that other scientists may not repeat his mistakes.
To be fair, the novel doesn't state anywhere that Frankenstein **wasn't** green.
Also Um Actually in the book _Frankenstein; or the Modern Prometheus_ Victor Frankenstein isn't a doctor. He studies natural philosophy (the closest thing they had to studying science at the time) but never graduates.
Christian Sperling and Marmaduke Weatherall have got to be a set of Slytherin/Hufflepuff best friends in the Potterverse somewhere.
Brian: "Yetis obviously do exist!"
Well of course, Blessed, you ARE one!
I remember the fiji mermaid from an episode of Fortean TV back in the 90s. Inspired some fabulous childhood nightmares for me and my brother. Good times.
RIP Sean Lock 🖤
Used to live 15 minutes from the Pope Lick bridge and it’s honestly worrying how many people have died climbing it
How many pope's have got frozen tongues licking it?
Technically the question Sandy asked in the follow-up episode wasn't "what road had the hairy hand on it" but rather "what road did *you say* it was on.". So even if his comment the first time got the road wrong, repeating the same wrong answer when asked to tell her what *he said* is correct. I mean it's a pedantic quibble but it's appropriate to make that minor quibble when the question in the first place was being pedantic, but was pedantically wrong.
She was taking the points off from the previous show, not the current one.
Well, there’s no room for pedantry on a show like QI!
4:40 - I've been to St. George's Hospital and confirm they are indeed excellent. Especially recommend the oncology department!
The monster said 'I could have been your Adam.' to Frankenstein.
He was never actually named. (I recently read the book).
If anyone else tried to say the Yeti exist, I would be thoroughly annoyed. But it's BRIAN BLESSED, so it's adorable :)
Just saying, generally speaking is it impossible that there's some kind of giant lumbering ape yet to be discovered by science?
@@goldenpony822 no
@@goldenpony822 not impossible but highly unlikely. The mountain gorilla was only discovered 100 years ago but people also weren’t actively searching for it for tens of years and technology has come a long way since then. It’s not that people couldn’t find the mountain gorilla, it’s just that no one was looking for it.
If Europeans had travelled to the area earlier, they likely would of found it much earlier but there wasn’t many Europeans visiting that area and it was the Europeans who were “discovering” it. Local people likely knew about them for a long time but they had no reason to research them. But thousands of people have tried looking for a yeti or a Sasquatch or anything like that and no one has found any solid evidence of their existence.
100 years ago the world was still not well connected, information was not easily shared. But nowadays we have phones with cameras and the internet. It was easy to miss things 100 years ago because you don’t know what going on on the other side of the world but now we can learn what’s happening anywhere instantly. A yeti is apparently huge, it would not be easy to miss.
Hundreds of people have apparently seen these creatures but no one has ever gotten solid evidence? Droppings? A dead body? Actual clear photos? No one has ever gotten this stuff despite so many people seeing one and so many people actually searching for them. Lots of people have claimed to see them which means their hypothetical habitat must not be far from humans. Yet we never actually find any sign of them. People are apparently seeing them but there is no evidence they have ever been in the area they were apparently seen. It’s not a one off, they are apparently see. In these areas frequently so they must live nearby but nothing has ever been found when people look. It is extremely unlikely. The amount of people who have claimed to see one just makes it more unlikely.
@@goldenpony822 also, what are the chances that there are numerous big hairy human like creatures across the world and we missed all of them? There are apparently multiple species across the globe and we’ve never found any of them. Of course we have found apes but they are still very different to these hairy giants. These giants are always bipedal and much larger than apes. What’s the chance there are numerous giant bipedal primates across the globe and we missed all of them? Surely we would of discovered at least one species if they were all real.
So maybe they’re not all real but one might be. But if the majority of them are fake, isn’t it weird how different cultures across the world independently came up with these stories? It’s almost like it’s just a common story for humans to come up with, like dragons. And if that’s the case then surely the last one is probably just made up too? If humans are likely to come up with stories about these creatures then isn’t it more likely for the last one too also be fake considering we have no proof of it’s existence?
People like to say that because multiple independent communities have stories about these creatures then that makes it more likely to be real but in reality it makes it more likely to be false. These people may life in different parts of the world but we are all still humans that share the same brain. We are likely to come up with the same ideas. There are multiple cases of mythical creatures that are alike to ones from other countries. A big hairy man isn’t that creative of a creature. It’s not hard for someone else to also come up with that idea for a story to tell their kids. But it is hard for a large creature to spread across multiple continents (presumably the same way we reached the lands as most descriptions seem to describe them as primates so they assumably also came from Africa) and we somehow completely missed them except for the random encounter that no one can seem to actually prove happened.
Sorry, I wrote a lot. I just read your comment and my brain just kept thinking and I needed to write these thoughts down. These argument’s aren’t really for you as you don’t seem to be a hard believer in them being real but my brain kept thinking of arguments and I couldn’t let them just go to the abyss. These arguments needed to be written down. I need someone to know how easy it was for me to just think of all these arguments against Bigfoot or the abominable snowman on the spot which proves just how fake they are because even a regular person like me can easily find so many arguments against them so quickly. Any theory with real traction shouldn’t be be able to be disproven so easily.
I am impressed by Brian Blessed's knowledge of Yeti lore.
He is tom bombadil from tolkins works
Josh now understands what Dara felt about the triple point of water
8:29 Just in case you haven't watched Tarzan in a while and want to enjoy Brian Blessed saying "Gorilla" 😆
Brian Blessed. What a wonderful man!
I remember brian blessed telling a story about how he punched a polar bear in the face
Thats badass
He also punched the Dalai Lama.
@@666t That's... not incorrect.
I like his story about how he diverted an avalanche with his voice
I could watch Brian and Stephen talk for hours on end.
Omg hilarious as always, more more more compilations please!
The Hairy Hand bit is excellent!!
Still makes me laugh every time I see it! 🤣
Sounds remarkably like “Thing” from the Addams Family
@enkisdaughter4795
Or the hand from the old film, aptly named, 'The Hand', in which a man is in an accident and has his hand cut off just above the wrist. The hand comes back to haunt him.
I watched it years ago. I was sitting on the floor, back against a chair, knees pulled up to my chin and my head was resting in my hands on top of my knees. Just as the hand was about to get the man, my brother (who had been out but came in through the back door) put his hand upon my shoulder to let me know he was home - I screamed so loudly!! 🤣🤣
*Ayyy!* _Another compilation!_
I would love to listen to a conversation between Brian Blessed and Gyles Brandreth. They both have amazing stories and are natural talkers.
Australia has it’s own Yeti/Sasquatch.
We call it the Yowie, Big hairy men.
At first I didn’t know who Brian Blessed was, but when I heard him talk about Gorillas 8:23 and instantly recognised him as the voice of Clayton from Tarzan
Wow, I’m impressed at your ability to recognise voices from something you likely haven’t watched in a long time.
@rachelcookie321 c'mon it's Brian Blessed - one of the most distinctive voices in the biz.
More compilations!
such a great show :P
Got the "thumbs up" right away @ 0:38
I can NOT stop watching this clip. GODS, I love Randi Scandi Sandi. She SLAYS me! 😆🤣😂
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Brian Blessed is an international treasure!
Why stop at this planet? He's an intergalactic treasure for sure.
Yeah. He should be buried.
BRIAN BLESSED for king-president of the known universe
Brian Blessed is simply a legend
Brian Blessed’s voice just makes him seem like he knows everything, I instantly want to just believe everything he says because he says it with such conviction and he just sounds like a professor. He started making me believe maybe the yeti could be real and then I snapped out of it and remembered that’s absurd. He has a voice that convince anyone of anything. He could totally start a cult if he wanted to.
He probably has done ....the Gordon's Alive Blessed Collective or something....
How can you not love Brian Blessed? A lovely, big man with a bigger heart.
I've seen a Fiji mermaid in person. It's really quite Interesting. 🙂
"Yeti's ALIVE!"
Sounds like Shane has another Bridge to claim 😂😂😂
0:10 Hey Allen, what shirt is that? I love it.
I remember when Brian Blessed helped me hunt the Invizimals
I've been to that village they show at the end. No hairy hands in sight!
YOU ARE THE HAIRY HAND!
Of course not. It's invisible.
It never shows before your sixth pint.
Spent many visits enjoying hornimans museum in the early 1980s with gran
02:48 Well, Ariel's really let herself go, hasn't she... Blimey. That food poisoning from the oysters really did a number on her!
7:32 I'm not Indonesian, but I do know a bit of Indonesian language, and I'm pretty sure 'orang pendek' means 'short man', not 'upright man'
It does, I'm sure.
For some reason, I want to see Brian Blessed and Jeff Goldblum play cards
8:08 the sound guy's head just exploded
Liked that
Come on, Ross!
In many countries brain blessed is the myth.
"a giant of of a man with a booming sonorous voice"
It is often said in these places that if one hears the booming voice of the Brian, one is truly Blessed.
From Windsor to Datchet? I know that road but I'm buggered if I could remember the number of it.
Um, actually Stephen, Frankenstein’s Monster wasn’t called Adam. He says to Victor after they meet up again “I ought to be thy Adam,” but was referred to more as The Creature than Adam.
But technically the creature was referring to himself, saying he felt he should be called Adam.
So you can stretch that to conclude that the creature thought of himself as Adam, even if everyone else didn't call him that.
Just another example of how the creature was let down by his daddy and society as a whole, I suppose. Should've got social services involved.
If he called himself Adam is that not good enough. What more are you looking for, did you want a chapter in which he gets his name ratified by deed poll?
@@Alex-cw3rz But he didn't call himself Adam. He compared himself to Adam and by extension Frankenstein to God. The fact that he's nameless is a pivotal part of the story. It's one reason why he can't fit in with human society.
I'd have loved Brian Blessed talking more about hairy men in the woods! I wonder if he's been to find Sasquatch (Bigfoot) too. So many people say they've seen them.
Probably just seen Brian our looking for them and got confused.
Hairy Hand - isnt that what Father Jack caught from his chair?
When I said, "Jesus, take the wheel!" that's not what I meant.
😆😆
I refuse to die until a Big Foot (Yeti) is captured.
Why does it have to be captured?
@@elisabethb.131 Captured by a HD camera 😅
Going for immortality, are ya? lol
@@guarddog318 hey we're only one gene manipulation crisis away from a future as yeti like creatures I wouldn't hedge my bets on that not happening.
@@MrDJAK777 - I'm counting on Bigfoot/Yeti having sense enough to stay out of our way.
After all, if they've made it to 2021 without being found or caught, they're probably brighter than we are, no?
It's either that or they just don't exist. * shrug *
Ignorant American here - Who is the big guy who goes on about the Yeti, Sasquatch, etc. I love his voice!
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Blessed
I suddently couldn’t remember his name so i googled “Britains loudest actor” and Brian popped up 😂
Watch more QI. 😆
@@kasperkjrsgaard1447 thank you!
Brian Blessed
RIP Sean
I wish all people of authority sounded like Brian Blessed. That way when someone in government or a boss at work screws everything up for everyone you could take solace that their voice assures you that no one would have done a better job.
Can you get the Mermonster in the Horniman gift shop?!
I so want one! 😂
I lived near Horniman Museum, across from Ryé Hill Park , on Rye Lané in Welland Housé 😃😃😃
thanks for bringing sassy Sandy back.
"Shut up! I know something!"
I'm gonna be the buzzkill. Every culture has their dragons. Every culture has their vampires. Every culture has their geists. Doesn't mean any of them exist.
Yeah, you can see Stephen being very polite and complimenting him on his passion but his eyes say he ain’t buyin it
Difference is that they all have fantastical powers. Sasquatch/Yeti are pretty much just big apes. They might not exist, but then again they might. An undiscovered species of great ape with a knack for stealth seems very believable--mundane, even.
Also, "sort of human but bigger and more hairy" is pretty much how most of the great apes look. Seeing something like that in the distance would give rise to all kinds of stories. It's also such a very basic thing to make up. "Imagine something just like people but bigger" is basic enough for lots of cultures to invent it independently.
Yeah considering we have bipedal hairy apes, it makes sense that a lot of people would see apes briefly either at distance or through thick forest and think it was larger than it actually was
Holy heck it's Grandpa Rabbit!!!
What about the Beast of Craggy Island?
10:19 amazing that no one made a “Jesus take the weel” joke
"In many ways I think I've let Jesus down"
"So have I"

Ian Dunne is actually Jon Richardson's psuedonym.
I wonder if they released the 3D printer files 🧐
The lick is salt for animals. Common in farm country
I thought the Abominable Snowman's name was Kieth?
the fact that he picked the hairy hands of Dartmoor over the hounds of Baskerville is just disappointing
Possibly hadn’t got permission from the estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who wrote The Hound of the Baskervilles.
@@enkisdaughter4795 doyle didnt invent the hound though. The legend of a large dog on dartmoor came long before the story. All doyle did was add the mystery part.
Would be nice to have the episode names for these.
There's a Google drive with all the episodes in their entirety one search away if you wanna cut out the middleman and just watch everything, def worth it if you haven't.
I know this!
No,you don’t. 🤣
Not sorry; I just love that STITCH,the murderous,hilarious clown 🤡 is on the panel; in disguise of course...💕
That is not the original Fiji mermaid. The original was put on display by PT Barnum in 1842 New York and was 3 feet long.
Is that Sean Connery?
Jane Goodall, thinks that the Yeti, may well exist. She goes on to say that "there is a great likelihood"........
Josh has misused the word "posthumously" twice. Once here, once on his parenting podcast. Both times he meant "retroactively".
It's sad that you know that
@@bumbaaclaaat2866 it'd be really sad if I failed to spot it when I heard the word being misused twice on the same day
Brian Blessed isn't a man. He's a FORCE.
orang pendek means short person
Maybe there are two hairy hands. a left and a right. and they cover different roads.
Ross Noble says ‘ermmmm’ more than Dara O’Briein does
O'Briain
SCRAMBLED !!!!
Have you got any jam sandwiches?
I think Brian Blessed might be part yeti. Does he have a personal interest?
What, posthumously?!
Why is he mentioning Bond? There's only been two movies involving people throwing knives in them and one of those had characters who throw knives professionally so would surely know who to do it...
Come with me, yes I have cake .......
If Jesus had had hariy hands, wouldn't he have had more trouble with his nails?
Who's the man who went on the Yeti rant?
That'll be our national treasure, Brian Blessed.
@@ireallyshouldntbehereltd7814 I adore him
@@pearkore6821 If you haven't already, check him out on a show called "Have I got News for You." Its very much a topical show so some of the jokes may fall short as it is aired weekly, focusing on political and domestic issues in the UK. But, he captured the nation by storm when he hosted it. He was a hit! You'll love it I'm sure.
Josh shouldn't have gotten a klaxon. He *did say* that it was on the B3021. The fact that it isn't (allegedly) on the B3021 is irrelevant, it's accurate that he _said_ it which is what Sandy asked.
I’m sorry, someone cut off the legs of a real hippo to make fake lochness monster prints? Where does one fine a hippo they can cut the legs off of in Scotland?

Don't apologize for the sass, you're right. CC please and thank you!
