To be honest, I don't like the young David Mitchell. He was too intense and absolute in his views and angry. It's off-putting to watch. He's obviously a very smart individual but he could be overbearing at times. Now that he's mellowed down a bit, there is a marked difference.

Not that older, mellower David is not good too. I like both. And I think having enjoyed the angrier David makes mellow David even more enjoyable. But I understand that may not be your perspective.
David Mitchell always makes me smile, because he looks exactly like a late dear friend. And they share the exact same (large) argumentative bulldog nature. Swap an English accent with an Arkansas accent, and you get my buddy David Young.
I was disappointed they didn't tell Sandy why. Bananas are high in potassium, and part of that is the radioactive potassium-40. So it's the additional radioactivity that contributes to the micromort.. There's actually a unit called the Banana Equivalent Dose.

Sandi works. She was always very, very dry. She's better at host than panelist, and no diss intended there. Plus riding herd on any random given bunch....is one hell of a job.
@@raqueldobson1 I think David would be going to far into the lording it over you style of logical person - that's one of the biggest reasons people preferred Fry hosting over Sandi, because where Fry obviously delighted in weird knowledge and in other people discovering that knowledge, Sandi being so dry comes across as being delighted in being right. The problem is there just aren't many funny smart people on TV lately who have created a likeable style of persona, since it seems out of style. Lee Mack is just as smart as David Mitchell but plays off as the northerner moron, James Acaster and Richard Ayoade are both brilliant but have that crazy socially awkward schtick. Probably the best fit would actually be Victoria Cohen Mitchell rather than David. The other challenge is you either need to fit as the parent/school teacher/older sibling relationship with Alan Davies (which David doesn't at all), or find a new Alan as well, which would probably be much harder to do well.
The way he shut Rory mcgrath up from going on and on about bloody birds and the Latin words for them. Not being rude at all just realising that it was going no where and made the audience laugh.
My vote has to go to David Mitchell. His mind always brings clear logic forefront with such humour and yet David debates or berates it in your face! No wonder his section is the longest in this video.
I just came across this show a few days ago and am now addicted. I have found my kind of people. And I actually know some of the people on the show! Stephen Fry, of course, but also Alan Davies, whom I adore. But the lot of them are just plain hilarious. And I love all the different accents. Plus I’m learning new shit.
Hi, You are in for an amazing ride. I have watched every episode multiple times and we are now up to season “U”. 12-18 episodes for every letter since 2003, it still makes me laugh hysterically. Even though Stephen left as host half way through, Sandy, the lady who makes the comment, “who needs swear words when you have knock hole “, is a stellar host. The show is different under her lead, but still hilarious and informative. I envy you, beginning this journey and experiencing all the hilarity for the first time. I’m a British born Australian, so I relate to a lot of the show, but I think it’s universal and I will be sad when we get to the letter Z and the show ends. I hope it brings as much joy, (and knowledge) in to your life as it has mine, enjoy x

As Stephen said she is a 'fountain of knowledge', and yet she is still eager to learn and she vibes well with the guests. Doesn't take herself too seriously, and has the same kind of condescending love for Alan 😄. Guest wise David Mitchell, Sean Lock, Bill Bailey and Phill Jupitus are my heroes.

@@orwellboy1958 Victoria would have been amazing too, no doubt about that! But she has her own quiz so that was never going to happen...

@@orwellboy1958 Yes but at least it's less pretentious these days and the guests who go there aren't intellectual snobs. It's unbearable to watch the early seasons of QI.
There's no question Stephen Fry was an amazing host, but, for me, the main reason the earlier seasons worked so well was because most episodes had one or more of this regular bunch of panelists (Sean Locke, Bill Bailey, Phil Jupitus, Jimmy Carr, Rob Brydon, Jo Brand, David Mitchell, Dara O Briain, and, later on, Ross Noble) who either already had or developed great chemistry with each other, and with Stephen Fry and Alan Davies. The are a couple of people on that list whom I don't really care for on otherwise, but they all contributed to making QI head and shoulders the best panel show at its peak. It's a shame they stopped doing that in later series, as there actually are a few new (for QI) faces I actually really like on QI, like James Acaster (whom I'm a big fan of anyway) and Rhod Gilbert, and I wish they appeared as often as the names I mentioned earlier did back in the day, and there are others whom I think have potential if they were allowed to build the same level of rapport with each other and the host as the regular guests did back in the day. But it looks like they're actually moving away from the idea of regulars as (I think) the last time anyone appeared even twice in a series was in 2021.
Sean was one of a kind. Best of friends with Bill Bailey. Bill I have been a fan of since I watched every “Blacks Books” episode more times than I ever counted. But Sean on 8 out of 10 cats was always hilarious!!
My favorite Billy Connelly quote is “never trust a man who finds himself alone in a room with a tea cosy and doesn’t try it on”. I would replace man with person, but I agree wholeheartedly. Can’t you just see him sporting a tea cosy?
Stephen is a complete one-off. I know he’s a huge admirer of Oscar Wilde. I think Oscar would like Stephen very much if they’d ever had a chance to meet. His Winston Churchill ‘Guardsman’ joke is, unforgettably, hilarious. I’m 11 minutes into this clip, looking forward to the rest.
I cant imagine why. Oscar Wilde was, well to call him a vile pig would be an insult to vile pigs, a terrible person who was good with words. The fact that he was homosexualish couldnt be less relevant.
You know, there’s a famous pub in Chester called the Marlbororough arms. Still pronounced correctly but sign writers made a cockup decades ago, which was left.
Can we just appreciate the difference between Roy knowing all about the topic in 15:10 and David in 48:00. Where Roy comes off as a stuffy know-it-all, David doesn’t and is almost endearing in sharing his knowledge.
@ 1:25.20 re: when does the Sun set? You could argue that it actually happens 8.3 minutes before even that because it takes that long for its light to get to us so it's a WAY below the horizon when we actually detect it.
Would a spider really smoke 8 tiny cigarrrets? Maybe it would smoke 4, if we assume that we have two legs and smoke 1 cigarrete at a time, so we would be multiplying by four. Or, maybe, just 2! Assuming that our arms count as limbs, so 1 cigarrete per every 4 limbs would result in 2 tiny cigarretes per spider. How would they pick up the lighter with 8 limbs occupied with the cigarretes? So many questions...
I thought I'd see this comment, and wasn't disappointed... Guy is a twat. It's not a serious game show, it's supposed to be funny and he sucked the life out of those shows... Glad he wasn't brought back after that..
Victoria Cohen Mitchell was the only guest to manipulate the show in her favor. She most likely researched the jackrabbit fact and created the story of the anxiety dream só that She would seem smarter than Stephen and the other guests. Nicely played!
The more I watch, the more convinced I am that Sandi Toksvig is my ideal woman. That wide ranging intellect, coupled with that smile, oh my. And yes, I know, I know. It's as Platonic as it gets, but still.
0:50 I'm really intrigued as to why Benjamin Netanyahu's name was coming up so long ago does anyone know the story behind this joke with Billy Connelly?
I once saved a bee from a birdbath. It was alive but truly spent. Next morning... found it still in resting in the grass so I gently put it up on the top of a coneflower (for its pollen).

Honestly, Victoria Coren Mitchell is just absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
Did Victoria create the future by effecting a change in the program with her dream story!!!1 Time paradox!!!
Johnny Vegas reminds me of buddy hackett in acting and looks or Lou Costello!
I don't see David Mitchell appreciation comments. He's very fitting for QI.
Victoria Coren Magnificent
...anyone else think the "pure english vowels" scots accent Stephen did sounded just like Big Clive?
Rollo rounded side triangle is used in car...Rotary engines because the shape touches the connections without the need for pistons. for over 40 years.
Not having "SHOW US THE ROUND THING" is criminal
13:15 what we wouldn’t give…
So glad Sean reminded Rory that it's supposed to be a comedy program and to stfu about his birds
Victoria Cohen Mitchell was the only guest to manipulate the show in her favor. She most likely researched the jackrabbit fact and created the story of the anxiety dream só that She would seem smarter than Stephen and the other guests. Nicely played!

Honestly, these clips prove that Sandi was the natural option to take over from Stephen.
Love Stephen's scottish sccent . Not at all bad.
4:39 Churchill
The more I watch, the more convinced I am that Sandi Toksvig is my ideal woman. That wide ranging intellect, coupled with that smile, oh my.
And yes, I know, I know. It's as Platonic as it gets, but still.
damn the outro was so loud. Good compilation though
0:50 I'm really intrigued as to why Benjamin Netanyahu's name was coming up so long ago does anyone know the story behind this joke with Billy Connelly?
He has been around an awfully long time
The joke is just that Billy finds it funny. And him saying it is funny.
@@GrahameChristianGouldi love that it's in the same vein of rowan Atkinsons pronunciation of Bob!
Re the German army , gynecomastia is a well-known side effect of steroid abuse btw.
I'm sure someone uploaded this as Stephen Fry's Accents.
{:o:O:}
WHY DOES THE THOUSANDT BANANA KILL YOU
"I'm feeling unwell"
WHY hasn't Billy Connelly been on QI??? WHY WHY WHY??
Schedule, he didn’t live in the UK, maybe he didn’t want to.
But how does the thousandth banana Kill you?!?
What happened to all the happy days.
Ross Nobel reminds me of myself when I used to do cocaine….
33:11 bees don’t drink honey….they drink water!!! Never feed a bee honey, to help it find its way home.
I once saved a bee from a birdbath. It was alive but truly spent. Next morning... found it still in resting in the grass so I gently put it up on the top of a coneflower (for its pollen). This bee sprang to life and noshed all over the coneflower head. Checked an hour later and had flown away. Bees, particularly the knackered ones, need POLLEN.

Sandi toskvig just isn’t the same as Fry
Not even close.
Well stephen is a man and Sandi is a woman
32:39 Don’t give bees honey. They need sugar water
I'm off to buy cornflakes and gloves,...... brb 😊
