Well, in fairness, Stephen Fry is Stephen Fry. A national treasure, whom most of us would derive great pleasure from hearing him merely recite the phone book!😊
The long-haired hilarious one is called Bill Bailey and he is an amazing stand-up comedian (who is also an amazing musician that uses music in his comedy shows). You really should check out some of his stuff.
Jack dee was in the panel ,he is good one to watch . He's a stand up ." Britain's obsession with diy" is very good . He refers to a home improvements store called B&Q .
QI stands for "Quite Interesting" 🙂. The show has been running for 20 years! Each series is themed around a lettter of the alphabet and related questions are asked. Whether the answers are right though doesn't really matter, so long as they are interesting. It's been a long running gag that nobody knows how the scoring system works, with points seemingly being awarded or deducted arbitrarily. Stephen Fry hosted the first 13 series, A to N. Sandi Toksvig has hosted the last 7 series from M to T. At the time of writing, I believe series U has been recorded, but hasn't been broadcast.
Lol good timing, I'm a pilot and only got home from work. Fact is yes there is an "autoland" function but it's capabilities are limited airport to airport. Also it's not as simple as pushing a button and the plane works out the rest. You definitely got food poisoning on the plane by the sounds Nick, not the first! In the film scenario in all likelihood there is company and non company pilots in the cabin either non revenue traveling or commuting for work, it's happened quite a bit where off duty pilots have had to help. To add to Stephens point about supernumerary crew my old airline would operate with four pilots for ultra long haul oh an QI = Quite Interesting. Another great vid! EDIT - 1530ish in Brisbane!
Is there a reason there isn't a backup remote control system? There would be some latency but surely it would be better than trying to explain every step to someone over radio? One reason I can think is they don't want the additional attack surface in the software
@@polycrystallinecandy Who is operating the remote? I'd rather no one. We get live link between us and ops which includes engine diagnostics with engineers but they have no input. Best keep it that way in my opinion. The likelihood of two pilots being incapacitated and a passenger taking over is so low it's not worth a consideration. The FAs have more jumpseat time and would know better. Either way flying is aviate, navigate and communicate. One thing to keep it straight and level if you know how via visual reference, the rest is a bit complex. My airliner experience is limited to the A330, A320/21 but if needed I could confidently provide support to a pilot in either seat of a Boeing with radios, checklists etc. Probably could work it out with enough fuel if I had the time.
QI = Quite Interesting Usual host intro: "Welcome to QI, the quizz show where the answers are much more exciting than the questions, but the questions are completely impossible. As I don't really expect any of the panel to know the answers, I shall be giving points based on whether I find the answers interesting, regardless of whether they are correct, or even relevant."
The closest commercial flight to actually have this happen was Helios Airways Flight 522. The plane depressurised knocking everyone out, the plane flew on autopilot for a while before Andreas Prodromou one of the cabin crew, using a portable oxygen supply, made their way into the cockpit but even though they held a pilots license they weren't qualified for 737s and so weren't able to work out the controls before the plane ran out of fuel and crashed. He did however bank the plane away from the city of Athens and likely saved many lives on the ground.
About space being a vacuum.... Outer space is not completely empty; it is a near-perfect vacuum containing a low density of particles, predominantly a plasma of hydrogen and helium as well as electromagnetic radiation, magnetic fields, neutrinos, dust, and cosmic rays. Also there is the theory of dark energy and dark matter, which if proven, would really show that space isn't empty after all.
QI = Quite Interesting Bill Bailey is the guy you said makes you laugh - checkout Tinselworm or any is his other show routines. He is a hugely talented musician with a very inquisitive mind and combined with a touch of genius makes wonderful comedy.🤪 Or - Black Books a sitcom he did with Dylan Moran and Tamsin Greg (from Friday Night Dinner. Worth reacting to, you’ll both enjoy it during those looming sleepless nights😵💫🤣
Although slightly different, there was the Germanwings Flight from Spain to Germany in 2015 when the co-pilot locked the captain out of the cockpit and deliberately crashed the plane.
@@philipr1567 Light is made up of photons which are 'particles' actually moving through space. Sound needs a medium to travel through as it's vibrations; the object making a noise vibrates the air which in turn vibrates your eardrum. There is no 'air' in space for the vibrations to transmit. There's a bit more to it than that but as a basic concept that's all you need.
Bill Bailey won Strictly Come Dancing, our version of Dancing with the stars. He was amazing and surprising due to age, build. Popular winner. Imo and the voters. 🇬🇧👵
there was that Helios flight 522 where everybody including the pilots where unconscious. not from food but from a pressurisation problem. The F-16's that were send up to check it out saw one person, next o the fallen over pilots. Possibly cabin crew in the cockpit. The outcome can easily be googled, it wasn't a happy ending.
Not vacuum but nearly vacuum also fun fact in space if communication fails then the astronauts put their helmets together as when one talks the sound waves transfer by the contact to the other helmet so the other astronaut can hear you and communicate even if the radio thing fails to work
I love flying... Meals aren't great, But always ask for sandwiches! Airline sandwiches are amazing, They're usually gourmet cause they dont have different sandwiches for different classes, So its free first class food... Just my tip for flyers.
Qi would work so much better for you if you did it by episodes, they are all on Youtbe at least from series C onwards. It would introduce you to so many new comedians.
9:07 pm & i'm just starting to eat dinner. Only old people go to bed by 9pm lol (it's a joke, I'm not young, def quite older than these tubers); most my friends would still be up for a few hours. Some, we even talk on phone around 9:30-10
The answers to the questions are not really the point. What they chat about is about the comedy and banter between all of them and what is quite interesting , including the National Treasure that is Stephen Fry.
For the record: no - the pilots do NOT have to eat different meals, either by law or by company policy. This is just a tired old myth that is long-since past its 'sell by' date.
Late for Jodiis 8 o’clock very late 9 o’clock she probably start getting ready for bed after Nick is cooked the dinner she’s eaten it and Nick is clearing the way it’s Bobo time Just a thought, space isn’t empty. There are pockets of dust. There are pockets of gas Have a guess what is splattered over every satellite in space? The clue is astronauts have to relieve themselves. I can be a bit of a nerd, I’m sorry

9:37 spot on re. Stephen Fry. He lurves the sound of his own voice 👍

That vacuum cant be very perfect if it's left dust everywhere.
@@ethelmini Yeah it sucks (though not very well) :)
Jodi, there's a perfect UK expression for what I just witnessed - Who's your mate?! (Mate as in friend)😮😂 Got to love a bit of QI - Thank you both 👍🏻
That ending - you two are so cute! Love the QI reactions 😊

Something that is Quite Interesting is Gabe thinking he stayed in a two storey Bungalow.

You're correct about sound in space, but there is an interesting technique called sonification that it used for analysis.
I never understood why light could travel through space, but sound could not. But then, my knowledge of physics is pitiful!
@@philipr1567 Light is made up of photons which are 'particles' actually moving through space.
Sound needs a medium to travel through as it's vibrations; the object making a noise vibrates the air which in turn vibrates your eardrum. There is no 'air' in space for the vibrations to transmit.

@rescyn1190 Thank you. If only you had been my physics teacher 50 years ago I might have done better than a bare minimum O Level pass!

QI is less a competition and more a forum for comedy and information...
That's 6:am here in the uk.
What can you hear in space ?
Remember this is the show that will have a thing wire to trip you up
I love the redundancy of "9 pm in the night"
Bill Bailey's Downton Abbey Jamaican Dub Reggae Version
All planes land ... the trick is to do it the right way up...... any landing you walk away from is a good landing....
ahh yes you have discovered our very own Bill Bailey who is wearing the Mickey T Shirt
It's 10.30pm and I'm watching RUclips and judging you😆
9pm 🤣 I remember being tired at that time, I think I was about 10yrs old 😉
Love the fact you're going down the QI route 😊
New camera? Looks great
Bill Bailey is great! If you haven't yet reacted to one of his musical comedy pieces, you have to!!
QI stands for "Quite Interesting"
QI means quite interesting. Bill Bailey is worth reacting to he is very funny and very musical too!
Quite interesting
Quite Interesting. And yeah, 9pm is not late :)
so how to radio waves cross space???
9pm at night that must be even later than 9pm in the morning 😏
Hey Nick, as you like metallica, watch bill baileys cover version.
Not vacuum but nearly vacuum also fun fact in space if communication fails then the astronauts put their helmets together as when one talks the sound waves transfer by the contact to the other helmet so the other astronaut can hear you and communicate even if the radio thing fails to work
What subjects do you guys teach ?
If there's no matter in space, what do you think stars and planets are?
Greetings from a very wet Scotland this week
5:46am. Good morning 😊
QI stands for Quite Interesting. Little known subjects played with by comedians.
If you think Stephen was hurrying them on unnecessarily you haven't seen enough QI yet.
Ditto, watch a whole episode.
You probably paid the bar bill for all the Flight ✈️ crew
I love flying... Meals aren't great, But always ask for sandwiches! Airline sandwiches are amazing, They're usually gourmet cause they dont have different sandwiches for different classes, So its free first class food... Just my tip for flyers.
Lol... the 'at night' is sort of redundant if you say say 9 P.M. The P.M. means by default it's in the evening, no ? ☺
quite interesting thats what QI stands for had to look it up myself as i did not know lol
Did you find it quite interesting?
Qi
would work so much better for you if you did it by episodes, they are all on Youtbe at least from series C onwards. It would introduce you to so many new comedians.
It stands for quite interesting.
I’m sure Jodi was tucked up in bed 5 mins after recording finished 😂😂9pm bed time, brilliant 😂😂❤️❤️
You know it!!
9pm is around dinner time. It’s so early
9:07 pm & i'm just starting to eat dinner. Only old people go to bed by 9pm lol (it's a joke, I'm not young, def quite older than these tubers); most my friends would still be up for a few hours. Some, we even talk on phone around 9:30-10
He's proven he's never landed a plane!
QI = "Quite Interesting"
QI quite interesting
never go to bed before 12
But surely we should, NO and don't call me Shirley
Looks like I picked the wrong day to give up.........................
6h55 in Switzerland
Good morning
Also technically there is no such thing as landing, it is more a controlled crash, believe quite a few in aviation says that
What's the number of the bus that Nick threw Jodi under?
AM means Morning and PM means Afternoon/Night we don't need the 9am in the morning, your basically saying it's 9 in the morning in the morning!!! 🤯
The answers to the questions are not really the point. What they chat about is about the comedy and banter between all of them and what is quite interesting , including the National Treasure that is Stephen Fry.

As much as I love Stephen Fry and consider him a national treasure, I prefer QI’s current host more, Sandi Toksvig

I would hope the plane isn't that high up 😱
9pm... hmm... i'll give it an hour or so then get ready to go out for the evening.
Quite interesting
