This was my favourite episode, shame I couldn't find a better quality video though.

This is actually the exact thing that introduced me to Q.I.

[QUOTE=Pocket Medic;32584397]Mister Royzo, you forgot to add the Indecisiveness episode to the episode list of Series I![/QUOTE]
I'm still considering doing so.
Has anyone ever worked out the scoring system?
It's not like he explains it at the beginning of every episode.
Basically, it's like the scoring in the American "Whose line is it anyway?", only more fair.
A point or two for every correct answer, more points for being interesting and 10 taken away for every incorrect answer. Because the filming is hours long and then edited down, the scoring doesn't seem to make any sense.

I like that it doesn't make sense. As long as Alan Davis loses by about 50 points as usual :v:
So in S3E01, who is Stephen referring to when he's talking about the written letters, and what did he try that was a disaster? :v:

This has always been a mystery to me. If someone could explain this we'd all be eternally grateful.
Something quite interesting: There's one, and only one, regular guest panelist that always insists on having the questions of the show beforehand. Fry hasn't disclosed who it is, but he said "It really annoys me. In fact, one day, I'll make sure that person is given a list from another programme because they don't need them.". He did reveal that it isn't Davies or Rob Brydon though.
Speculations, anyone?

If I were to place a guess I'd say it was either Sean Locke or Jimmy Carr. As funny as they both are their gags often seem to arrive much quicker than every other comedian I've seen on there. Plus most of the other regular guests seem way too casual to do something like that.
Jimmy Carr's laugh is annoying.

I may go for Sean as you said.
Probably Sean.
Jimmy Carr is naturally witty as fuck.
Maybe we're ganging up on Sean because he looks/acts unsympathetic in the show? :v:
I think it's Jupitus
[QUOTE=jaykray;32643117]I think it's Jupitus[/QUOTE]
I like how he stands up and puts his hands on his chest whenever any vaguely patriotic song starts.
I don't think it's Rich Hall. He doesn't really talk all that much, it seems to me.
It's Stephen Fry, nothing a word he said was false; he just fucked with us.
[QUOTE=Cypher_09;32650617]It's Stephen Fry, nothing a word he said was false; he just fucked with us.[/QUOTE]That's not true actually, as he specifically said "Guest". Fry himself is not a guest of the show, but the host.
This ep was [I]too[/I] funny.
Ah man, Johnny Vegas and Sarah Millican were like siblings. Fantastic.
Bill Bailey is absolutely hilarious. I love this show.

I've always found it pleasant in Television threads to see the new episodes being posted as they become available.
Do you imagine it's a tradition worth initiating?

I've seen it happen in the Regular Show thread. It's good for people that may have forgotten to watch the new episode or have no access to the channel.
Also, in regard to the QI guest who demands to know the questions beforehand, my best guess is Jo Brand.
It may be due to editing, but she's made some intricate jokes that came out bizarrely fast, and some of her jokes were forfeits, word for word.
Maybe she had jotted down a bunch of jokes for the program and let some slip, then the scamps in charge of the claxons had prepared forfeits for them.
Stephen's wording also implies that it's a very frequent guest, and she happens to be the number one most frequent guest.
But the forfeits match word-for-word plenty of times to other people too. I can't remember exact examples, but I do remember Stephen saying "we know you" plenty of times.
And besides, Jo usually makes a joke about her husband which is pretty easy to see coming and set the forfeit up for it.
I have to go with David Mitchell; his jokes aren't quick and well-put like most of the others but he always has a rant seemingly out of no where on one of the subjects.
I love these rants, but I doubt he could make them up with such good metaphors and alike without some preparation .

Also, I love how he said it's not Rob Brydon, otherwise I would've thought that speech about long socks was prepared beforehand :rolleyes:

It's definitely not Mitchell, if you've seen him elsewhere you'd know that if there's one man that can make up a rant like that on the spot, it's him.
