Gyles Brandreth seems to have an entertaining story for literally every occasion. I wish I had such a stockpile of stories and his gift for gab. The only problem is getting him to stop talking, but I do enjoy his tales. I like the story he told about the time he and his wife were on a beach in Jamaica when what they thought was a wizened old lady teetering up to them turned out to be Mick Jagger. 😊
My dad has the same gift of a story for every occasion. I used to marvel at his varied life, until I realized his real gift was making them up on the spot.
I would love to see Giles on WILTY !!! (with Bob + David + Sandi + Alan + Bill...oh dear...I keep thinking of so many people to add) ...I already hear "arguments + a lot of hysterical laughter) ☆ naturally he'd need to be given cards with lyes....
Bahahaha! 🤣 I'm now picturing Mick doing a seaside version of Alan Davies" impersonation of Tina Turner. It's really worth tracking down on here if you can find it - he kind of staggers about the stage like a wind-up toy, and it is rather funny... 😬
I briefly spoke to Lord Longford when I was at university. He gave a talk on prison reform. At a reception afterwards I drew an unflattering caricature of him, without his knowledge. However, a "friend" grabbed it and showed it to him. He smiled and said he would have bought it if I had made him look more handsome.
The best bit was later when Gyles unexpectedly reveals "I have eaten a pie that contained a human" causing Alan to almost spit out his drink and Sally Phillips to cry through her fingers with laughter 🤣
I just watched a video of an American who was shocked to hear about meat pies since pies in the US are normally fruit-based. He seemed genuinely grossed out at the thought of meat in a pie.
@@RatKindler We have meat pies. We call them pot pies and they sell them in the frozen food section. They're not something you'd often see at any eatery though.
@@RatKindler He was "shocked to hear about meat pies"?? Must be from a completely different culture. Was he used to one of the Asian cuisines, perhaps? Anyway, among the quintessential pies are pork pies and steak (and kidney) pies. Meat pies are absolutely typical pies.
@@rosiefay7283 He's got a channel where he, as an American, responds to learning about Canada. A video he was watching was talking about Canadian meat pies and he really did seem shocked to see beef in a pie and talked a bit about the American conception of what a pie is/should be, and that is fruit pies.
I bought a small blueberry pie from a now defunct store that used to sell discount everything. I bit into it once I got back to the car and remarked how it almost tasted like a mushroom. My girlfriend was laughing hysterically and I flipped the pie over to discover why. The bottom of the pie was covered in green mold. I did not go back in for my money back as it was only 10 cents.
Similar story - my sister used to work at a cafe and could take home uneaten cakes and pies. As we sat down to a late supper I discovered mould with fruiting bodies (black dots on a blanket of hyphae filaments) inside a pie. I think that was the last time we ate anything from that place.
Why so many offensive ads and BS propaganda from RUclips? Has the google somehow misplaced all that personal information they collected about me? No, I think the EVIL google is deliberately trying to offend me with those ads.
i dont think a pie chart can be considered evidence.. "theres even been a scientific study to confirm this, i think. i remember seeing a pie chart about this" would be a better joke
Ah but Ah .... Do *bear in mind what a Raincoat is in American slang* (Which is entirely congruent given their 'fact finding mission' - The word was 'fact' wasn't it?)
“A pie should be meat and potatoes!” Y’all pie snobs haven’t lived until you’ve had a good blueberry or cinnamon apple pie. That’s a pie eating contest I’d get into!
On my roadtrip from the eastcoast to the westcoast of Australia, every time we stopped for gas I got a meatpie. I gained like 20 kilograms on that trip 😄
It's qualified though, isn't it? If you have to specify the partially lidded variety to distinguish it from the unqualified "tart", it shows that tarts aren't lidded - the exception proving the rule.
I was once asked if I wanted a cheese and onion pie or a dead animal pie by a vegetarian in Wigan. I chose the dead animal cos cheese gives me migarines.
I always find it jarring when Sandi makes the classic 'weak vegan' jokes, which she does quite frequently. It's the type of gag you'd hear from Jordan Peterson or Andrew Tate and smacks of toxic masculinity. Surprising, given she's a co-founder of the Women's Equality Party.
See, you say "pie" and an American (me) thinks "fruit." A vegetarian pie? Aren't all pies vegetarian? Forgot you guys put meat in yours. (Ours are scrumptious.)
When I think of a pie, meat and potatoes is most definitely NOT what I imagine. Fruit of some kind is my fist thought, then maybe a cream pie, still fruity though.
Cream pie. Good lord what a euphemism. When I think pie I think savoury first, sweet, say apple second. A good steak and ale pie is something I feel the USA misses out on.
Because the knuckle draggers would throw a tantrum about how woke everything was, and everyone's so fucking bored of their constant, mindless bleatings.
The QIs with Brandreth on the panel are among the best. Masterful storyteller.
Brandreth almost surprised himself when he said “I’ve STILL got the PHOTOGRAPHS!!!” 😂
I suspect that he was warning the clergy that he still had his blackmail material.

Truer words, my friend.
I'm sure there was one at the time though...
What a life this man has lived...
Gyles is really good at that shaggydog comedy style, but it's always a balancing act for him to not overtake the panel.
Gyles has literally done everything and is related to everyone.
Gyles Brandreith and Bob Mortimer are two sides of the same coin.
Jekyll and Hyde except they're both lovable
I could listen to Gyles go on and on about his life for AGES lmaooo I hope he has grandchildren hahahaha
Giles could listen to Giles go on and on about his life for AGES
He certainly does.

"Reduced pie consumption may be..." and no one said "do you have any evidence, like a pie chart?"

Different clip. It's here somewhere.

"If everyone ate two pies ... the pie sector of the economy could double in size."

"Pies are supposed to be meat and potato, and anything else just isn't normal." He'd have an aneurism if someone ate a sweet pie in front of him.
I mean not really. Fruit pies are absolutely a thing in the UK. Pie eating contests in the UK at least though are almost always savoury and not sweet.

Apple pies etc. are for pudding, not a main course like real pies.
This is Northern Britain. They don't do fruit oop north. Only meat and potaters.
Wait until you discover macaroni pies!!!
How is a sweet pie more palatable than a savoury pie?
Make them more pc you say.... Maybe we make sure there are no cream pies
