Absolutely. It was sad to see Stephen go but Sandi was the best choice to take on the role from him and she has been superb. She manages to share enough of his traits (smart, witty etc) that she fits the job really well but still very much has her own charm and personality too. Feels kinda strange it's already been about 8 years since she became host. :O
Stephen and Sandi bring completely different styles to their position and each one made the show infinitely watchable. I love the diverse guest roster that has appeared since Sandis role stared.
Sir Edmund Hillary was a wonderful humble man who generously worked for years for the people of Nepal unlike other climbers who just used them and left behind nothing except their rubbish on the mountain. He was adored by the Nepalese, and New Zealanders alike.He usually wins our fave Kiwi polls. 😊
I was a lumberjack for fifteen years. We used to ask ourselves, "If a tree falls over in the forest and there is no one to hear it fall, can they prove that I had anything to do with it?"
Everest climber Lincoln Hall, who was presumed dead and abandoned at 8700m. The next morning a group of climbers found him changing his clothes, alive, awake, and almost naked. He survived Everest to Found the Australian Himalayan Foundation
It always saddened me that Stephen never came back as a panelist after Sandi became host. I would love to have seen the banter when the shoe was on the other foot, so to speak.
@htmc2022 neither the poster nor the policeman suggested in the slightest that they were unsympathetic. Who wouldn't be when people lost so much? At the same time some of it was opportunistic, botnput of necessity, as with the person quoted in the show.who bemoaned the loss of opportunity to steal after the war ended.
@@cola_kidd1955not sure who Sheridan is? Sandi's son is Theo, and has appeared on the show - he was in the front row and she sat on his knee, to the shock of the audience until he answered a question with 'yes mum' 😄
I've been saying the same thing about the tennis grand slam tournaments for years, it's the same at all four, women only play best of 3 sets while men play best of 5, and I do not understand why. Not only is it unfair to award the same prize money for playing less, but there's no reason why women couldn't also play best of 5 sets, especially now final sets go to tiebreaks in all four tournaments and not just at the US open.
Judy Holliday always played really "dumb blondes" even though she was an extremely intelligent woman. I have read a description of her as "surpassingly intelligent". One year when my dad was filling in the census form he asked me what I wanted him to put as my religion (he was a very detail oriented man). I was going through a bit of a phase at the time, so I told him "Templar Knight". I like to think that somewhere in the archives, I am recorded as one of the few hundred Templar Knights in the UK...
I know! I think she's so underrated 😕 I also think you can see in these clips why they wanted Sandi when Stephen left - her rapport with Alan is obvious even then (and I think that's part of why I love her series' so much) ❤
Lets please clarify one thing for all eternity. If a sound is made, then it is utterly beside the point if it was heard or not for the obvious reason that sound is not a figment of imagination (usually), but rather a product of causality that can be measured. Therefore it is a thing which makes it real, period.
I have seen documentaries on the hijra. They don't all identify as transgender, as some identify at 3rd sex, neither male nor female, and some as intersex. We see the same with muxhe in Mexico. Personally, I have trouble of Westerners labeling non-Western groups as the gender markers doesn’t necessarily apply. Something to think about.
There's the way a culture thinks and speaks about a third sex or transgender identity ... And then there's the scientific and neutral way of discussing the phenomenon in human nature. The pursuit of neutral scientific language is relatively young and "transgender" is the best umbrella term we have at present. It's really not wise to make too much of word choice in these matters. Language is just a rough tool.
The Einstein face-mould is actually _Really_ interesting! (RI, not QI) - maybe disqualify it? 32:14 It is amazing to watch though. - We don't see things as they really are - We see things as WE really are!
So I went and looked at the whole line of David thing, cus I remember being taught about Mary being related to David via her relation to his great great grandparents Boaz and Ruth in children's church. As it turned out, it's kinda worse. It seems both Joseph and Mary are thought, by some to be related to David directly through his sons, though after "many generations" making them distant cousins.
I thought Edmund Hillary's berating of Mark Ingalls (double amputee) for Climbing Everest and passing David Sharp, who was still alive but barely conscious, was unfair. There was nothing Mark could do given that he really had no legs and others had mistaken David for Green Boots. The hard part of Everest is staying alive, the easy part is the climbing. Both are necessary but a lot get lost, fall and die.
(@ 38:00) Is it not the impact of the tree hitting the ground and the wood cracking that causes the sound waves. Therefore, does the presence of a listening ear become irrelevant. Its like what the little guy said, the sound of lightning cracking may not hit your ear drum for several seconds, does that mean the sound didn't exist until then? Because I reckon those closer to the lightning would beg to differ.🤔👩🎓👩🏫
The chief elf is wrong about the tree falling in a forest. Sound is the vibrations in the air, not the observation of those vibrations. That is like saying light doesn't exist until you see it.
Wow, I am.Australian and didn't know that. Obviously wasn't trained well enough by great-grandpa in how to properly dispose of a body (no doubt there is a section about it somewhere in that darn book!)
it's impossible to remove all the organisms that hear from the forest. The tree itself can hear itself fall, as can all the bugs, squirrels, plants, etc
That sound clip really pisses me off because he obnoxiously goes "well the definition of sound is what happens in the ear" and makes repeated arrogant remarks about the question being easy... but thats not the definition of sound. The definition of sound is "vibrations that CAN be heard by an animal or person", and the vibrations a tree produces could be heard by an ear if one were present therefore it does produce a sound. Arrogance that you are right usually betrays an unsureness as to if you are wrong.
Around 40.00: "if a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it": none of them discuss "no one". What, no creature from creepers to flyers was present when the tree fell? The question needs refining imo. Get rid of the forest and tree, and form a cleaner enquiry. _Walks up and down library, gesticulating wrathfully._
I think the main objection I have is that they're using the same word with different meanings, as Stephen pointed out but his guest totally missed; to a physicist, a "sound" is the vibration, and there is always vibration of molecules, whereas to a neurologist, a "sound" is the experience of the vibrations at the eardrum. Same word, entirely different meaning - which results in a discussion that just goes around in circles, without either side understanding that the other side also understands. Which does make me wonder exactly what meaning the original bishop meant, too.
Lots of people have grown up hearing lazy male comics get big laughs about fat women, loud women, lazy women, and ugly women. There’s an old standard, “Take my wife *pause* please. *hold for laughs*”. Because female comedians often don’t tell this type of lazy joke, some people don’t think they are funny. That’s the comedy they grew up with. Therefore, if comedy isn’t making fun of women in some way, they don’t find it funny. There’s a way you can still make fun of women in comedy, as a male. You just have to say something sexist, then say ooooo. The implication is “look at me, I’m being a bad boy”. That allows you to still make fun of women, and get away with that type of lazy humour. I can think of many funny, female comics. A lot of them appear on QI. Sarah Millican is one I enjoy immensely.
… and right on queue, a “joke” about women talking too much. Oh, I’m sorry sir. Were the two women having a conversation that took attention away from you? Time to tell a lazy joke at their expense! Oh well done you.
And no male comedian has ever made a joke at their own expense, have they? You're really stretching here trying to play the part of the noble defender of women.
Pack your bags! We’re going on a guilt trip! This is such a load of horse manure, you are talking about I don’t know, decades ago. The only comedian who does jokes on women, yawn, are female comedians. And only the real good ones know how to expand to other topics and are actually funny! Usually I find most female comedians a bore exactly for that reason, this fanny focused victim card playing lazy comedy is usually restricted to female comedians themselves only.
@@Argeaux2this comment is so dumb I don’t know where to begin. The assignment within this episode was earning extra points for being loud mouthing the other team. Hence this joke and it was a golden one, perfectly placed within the episode boys vs girls.
Sound is oscillating variations in pressure that makes our eardrums vibrate and that is what we hear as sound. So it only becomes sound if there is eardrum to pick up the vibration and a brain to interpret it as sound.
So if the noise of a falling tree is recorded digitally with nobody around to hear it, and then the recording is played back to a human, it is only sound on the playback but not during the actual tree fall? I'm sorry but that is utterly ridiculous. Sound is sound, regardless of whether it is observed by the ears or not. We can look at a graphical output of a microphone and observe the sound with our eyes even though we haven't heard it. The physics definition of sound is much more sensible than trying to define it with psychology.

I believe John Hodgman tried to get an American version of QI made. Never happened, but I think he was a big reason why the show got on BBC America. As to why an extra panelist, they probably had already booked everyone else and he was available only for that particular taping of the show or something like that.
Bits? What bits? This discussion of a goose as a wiper of “knock holes” is a hoot. (Pun intended). But what are the men talking about “bits”? This must be a male thing. I’m flummoxed. Is there a man out there who can explain this to me, please?
If you mean the part at 8:20 he's talking about the "bits" of poo, it would "get all the bits" meaning be able to clean thoroughly. I think it was partly in reference to Sean's earlier comment about the scorpion having a sharp point so it could dig into any folds of skin (the "knibbly bits"), which you tend to get if you have haemorrhoids, which approximately half the population will have at some point in their lives by age 50.
Comedy requires ridicule and self ridicule. Not many women are bold enough to be the butt of the joke in front of a large audience, or even ridicule others in that context. It goes against their nurturing tendencies. That's probably why Holly Walsh, Jo Brand, Kathy Burke, Sarah Millican, Sara Pascoe, Morgana Robinson, Sandi on QI and the presenter Claudia Winkleman are so beloved in the UK and Aus. Wish more people appreciated that.
20:00 I have always stated that Joseph and Mary going to Bethlehem for a census makes little sense, but going to stay with relatives when you can't reconcile the number of months you've been married to the birth date of your baby to your neighbors~ even the most ignorant peasant can count nine months; it was common in those days to move to relatives elsewhere and to tell the folks two weeks away an earlier anniversary date, then as a journeyman carpenter he could go away for a couple years, by the time the family returns eight or ten years later who's to tell a month or two off...?
I feel sorry for all the deer's and animals in the forest that don't hear that tree fall down just because us humans can't hear it, so it doesn't make a sound.
It was better with Stephen sorry if you don't agree but it just was, having said that you could not get a better replacement than Sandi she is brilliant. Unfortunately the guests are now just not as good and the reasons are easy to see, I just watch repeats, thank god for Dave lol

How is “Jedi” any more ridiculous than “Christian”? They were both imagined and fabricated by people. Maybe it’s about popularity.. if enough people do a ridiculous thing, they have to be taken seriously 🤦🏻♂️
Most democratic countries with freedom of religion have some relatively broad, but objective, criteria that a congregation has to meet to be registered as an official religion and receive the benefits of being a registered religion. "Jedi" does not fulfill these criteria, and since it's a government census there is no official way to register "Jedi". You are of course free to consider yourself a Jedi nonetheless, but in matters of bookkeeping, it isn't a registered religion. :)
Because there is no one with a sincere belief in the Jedi religion, unlike the millions of people with a sincere and heartfelt belief in the Christian faith.

@switchbox239 the old question, if a tree falls in the forest and there's no one around. Does it still make a sound. Of course it does. The world doesn't wait till we're paying attention. I've always thought it was a stupid question.

As to why an extra panelist, they probably had already booked everyone else and he was available only for that particular taping of the show or something like that.
@@jripuleI think you are correct. That is how I remember it. 🇬🇧👍
Bits? What bits? This discussion of a goose as a wiper of “knock holes” is a hoot. (Pun intended). But what are the men talking about “bits”? This must be a male thing. I’m flummoxed. Is there a man out there who can explain this to me, please?
If you mean the part at 8:20 he's talking about the "bits" of poo, it would "get all the bits" meaning be able to clean thoroughly. I think it was partly in reference to Sean's earlier comment about the scorpion having a sharp point so it could dig into any folds of skin (the "knibbly bits"), which you tend to get if you have haemorrhoids, which approximately half the population will have at some point in their lives by age 50.
Men come largely un-assembled. Bits can come off if not properly attached.
Comedy requires ridicule and self ridicule. Not many women are bold enough to be the butt of the joke in front of a large audience, or even ridicule others in that context. It goes against their nurturing tendencies. That's probably why Holly Walsh, Jo Brand, Kathy Burke, Sarah Millican, Sara Pascoe, Morgana Robinson, Sandi on QI and the presenter Claudia Winkleman are so beloved in the UK and Aus. Wish more people appreciated that.
Oh no! @19:35 You mean ... the Bible isn't 100% factually accurate?!?! 🤔🙄
20:00 I have always stated that Joseph and Mary going to Bethlehem for a census makes little sense, but going to stay with relatives when you can't reconcile the number of months you've been married to the birth date of your baby to your neighbors~ even the most ignorant peasant can count nine months; it was common in those days to move to relatives elsewhere and to tell the folks two weeks away an earlier anniversary date, then as a journeyman carpenter he could go away for a couple years, by the time the family returns eight or ten years later who's to tell a month or two off...?
I feel sorry for all the deer's and animals in the forest that don't hear that tree fall down just because us humans can't hear it, so it doesn't make a sound.
All those poor animals!
I love Dee on ISIHAC

It was better with Stephen sorry if you don't agree but it just was, having said that you could not get a better replacement than Sandi she is brilliant. Unfortunately the guests are now just not as good and the reasons are easy to see, I just watch repeats, thank god for Dave lol
They're as good as each other for me
In relation to the clownfish the male starts to change sex within twenty four hours
This finished far too early!
I find Sandi very funny.
She certainly has a dry smart wit…
I understand that Jack Dee’s comment about women comedians was a joke, but come on - how do you get Giles Brandreth, for instance, to stop talking?
Stephen Fry - you are wrong, women population is about 1% less than the male population
so the answer to the first question: because the bbc sure as shit werent going to be front runners on any egalitarian nonsense ifg.......
5:30 Stephen just put the nail is the coffin of the wage gap there...
In one particular sport... Generally speaking, the wage gap is a very real thing.
@@jamesedmonds7519 can you please share two URLs of scientific that studies in one field that describe the correlation and that describe the lack of correlation?

These clips are taken from the RUclips channel, which ends with an outro from the host Sandi Toksvig
@@Ursi_ yup, but did they have to cut it so badly? Lol
I mean, not hating Sandi but I prefer Stephen as host

How is “Jedi” any more ridiculous than “Christian”?
They were both imagined and fabricated by people. Maybe it’s about popularity.. if enough people do a ridiculous thing, they have to be taken seriously 🤦🏻♂️
Most democratic countries with freedom of religion have some relatively broad, but objective, criteria that a congregation has to meet to be registered as an official religion and receive the benefits of being a registered religion.
"Jedi" does not fulfill these criteria, and since it's a government census there is no official way to register "Jedi".
You are of course free to consider yourself a Jedi nonetheless, but in matters of bookkeeping, it isn't a registered religion. :)
Because there is no one with a sincere belief in the Jedi religion, unlike the millions of people with a sincere and heartfelt belief in the Christian faith.
@@johnwhite1356 80-odd million people had a sincere and heartfelt belief in Mrs Hitler's little boy! That proved to be about as much benefit to the human race as a belief in some non-existent Sky Pilot! 🙄😱😵💫
Speaking as a Christian, the way I look at it is this. If you are right all that awaits us when we die is oblivion. If I am right, I will be going to Heaven and you will not.
@grahamhume5953 With respect, what if both of us are wrong, and Islam is right? Or Hinduism? Or Buddhism? Or everyone's wrong. Maybe Zeus and Jupiter are really pissed that no one's worshipping them anymore. You're burning with the rest of us, buddy.

How arrogant and ignorant of humans to assume that they are the only species with ears?
What did they say to make you think that?
@switchbox239 the old question, if a tree falls in the forest and there's no one around. Does it still make a sound. Of course it does. The world doesn't wait till we're paying attention. I've always thought it was a stupid question.
