CLASSIC QI REACTION Series K Ep 5 XL - Kings (Bill Bailey, Jimmy Carr & Jeremy Klaxon!)

[@woeshaling6421]

bill bailey is my favorite as well, a nice balance of silly, musical and intellectual comedy

[@Tomp4ul]

He's an absolute treasure

[@deano2506]

he's perfect for QI

[@casinoclown5502]

Even in the show Black Books he's amazing..

[@taniaPBear]

Definitely a fun one. No big stand out moments, just a run of good comedy and 'interestingness'. Love it, thank you Neil.

[@fedpoulton]

I was there in the audience watching the recording. It was a great night

[@qwertyTRiG]

How the producers manage to keep a lid on the chaos I cannot imagine.

[@daviddalby8537]

I remember Valiant comics. Janus Stark, escapologist, Private eye Lewis Crandell, the Steel Claw. Great stuff.

[@RockyBobbieBuster]

Jesus I'm 57yrs old and I don't remember valiant but then again I only had Beano and Dandy ahh those were the days.

[@IndySidhu88]

Pilot' Famous Last Words: THIS IS TRICKYYYYYYYYYYYY!

[@gavinhall6040]

Only watched this episode on BBC I Player on Wednesday and a thought came into my head "Neil would find this episode funny" nice little coincidence.

[@samfisher6606]

I'm telling you, check out "Quest Part 1" and "Sideshow, Stunts, and Scavenger Hunts." Two of my favorites.

[@casinoclown5502]

Thinking of Bill Bailey makes me think of your pilots.. He's in a show called Black Books which is hilarious and I think you'd love it.. Its a shame you're not watching that

[@MARKSTRINGFELLOW1]

Jeremy Klaxon !!

[@BD-yl5mh]

Weirdly, even with his paper crown, I see the whole cast of this episode including Alan as believable kings, except for Clarkson

[@DrDaveW]

If I eat beetroot I put a note on the toilet to remind me.

[@PHDarren]

King Ragnar and his son Ivar the Boneless are the two characters played by Ernest Borgnine and Kirk Douglas in the movie The Vikings.

[@Baiko]

Travis Fimmel and Alex Høgh Andersen in the TV show Vikings.

[@makaveliuk86]

Yeh I found out a lil while back that the chainsaw was invented for childbirth!😱

[@eolsunder]

no the chainsaw was invented for amputations and cutting bones, a earlier version and the osteotome. The item used for childbirth was just a simple cutting chain attacked to 2 handles. Wasn't the same thing, and it wasn't a chainsaw.

[@ennesshay5040]

Ragnar in the movie 'The Vikings' is thrown into a pit of starving dogs !! Just thought you'd like to know !

[@TheClairem75]

James May has a KZbin channel 😉

[@HermanVonPetri]

And many interesting mini-series. "James May's Toy Stories" was one I found particularly adorable.

[@ry_jayy]

@@dannykent6190 that's very good

[@dannykent6190]

@@ry_jayy Ha. Thanks for noticing.

[@bobd2659]

"Chain Saw" was invented for...childbirth...

[@eolsunder]

wrong. The osteotome chainsaw wasn't a devide for childbirth, but for amputations and cutting bones. The item used for childbirths wasn't a chainsaw, it was simply a cutting chain attacked to 2 handles. It was a manual hand chain.

[@anitahargreaves9526]

QI has the most intelligent audience on any show, imo.

[@samfisher6606]

Also, spoiler but Ragnar Hairy Britches is also Ragnar Lothbrok, who is the main character of Vikings

[@dave_h_8742]

Was a series with James May the assembler puts things back together e.g. petrol lawn mower, was cathartic to watch but not on here !

[@JamesChiles]

Yeah, really enjoyed that series. Sort of fascinating for a series that basically watches a bloke do a complicated Meccano set.

[@daveofyorkshire301]

You do know James May has his own KZbin channel?

[@davidabaxter]

I too am a James May fan. As has been mentioned a few times in the comments James May: Our Man in Japan is worth a watch. Educational and very funny. Episode 4 is particularly funny. As James struggles with his tiny robot guide, who addresses him as Bim. And I see that he has a new series launching on 15th July 2022, Our Man In Italy. Looking forward to watching that. Both on Amazon Prime. And he's already said that he's hoping to do many more

[@docfish21_94]

Another great episode with Jeremy Clarkson is military matters from series m

[@squidcaps4308]

The blood eagle was most likely never done in real life. AFAIK, it is not even medically possible to keep them alive that long after all the brutality involved. Same as the Brazen Bull, most likely never used. Also, Iron Maiden belongs to that group, they were terror weapons used to scare people but never actually used. Also also.. inquisition was much less cruel than many think, at least in Spain. In Netherlands.. they took it a bit further when it was occupied by Spanish but it is debatable if those were the "real" inquisition as they were 100% politically motivated. But in total, only couple of percents of people inquisited were executed, and even less were tortured. In fact, many WANTED to be tried by the inquisition as there was a rule that if you were found to be persecuted, harassed or the person reporting them had a personal grief, they were let go free. Now... the things that happened outside spain, there are some freaking gruesome things made in the name of the inquisition but if we look at the events, they used inquisition as an excuse, the trials were hastily done, with no defense allowed and people were executed en masse for being heretic just for living in the wrong town...

[@jonbolton3376]

I'm also a Clarkson fan. Also as a James May fan a show you might like, if you can find it, is James May's Man Lab. I loved that show, it ran for a few series while he was still doing Top Gear.

[@Savingforlife]

Yes Bill is great, Jeremy not so for me personally..but still a great show

[@TheBertjeT]

James May has a couple of youtube channels. - JM's unemployment tube - DRIVETRIBE - What Next? (used to be FOODTRIBE)

[@avidgardener7859]

As a fellow James May fan I can highly recommend the Amazon Prime show James May: Our Man In Japan. If you type: James May Bim in the youtube searchbar you can see a hilarious clip from the show. It would be interesting if you could react to the QI episodes themed around spying: Espionage and Secrets, Spies & Sleuths, and compare them. Espionage is one of my all time favourite episodes.

[@annother3350]

clarksons got a good heart

[@RockyBobbieBuster]

Agree with you about jezza he's very much Marmite but personally I think he's brilliant,try out Clarksons farm,it maybe a bit long to react to but it's fantastic,it's something no-one would expect JC to do but obviously he does and its top notch entertainment,I could watch cheerful Charlie,Caleb and Gerald all day long plus it shines a light on how difficult life is for the average farmer here in the UK,can't wait for series2

[@ariadnepyanfar1048]

I myself had full anaesthesia for a full colonoscopy. Beetroot.

[@bobd2659]

You and Sandi Toksvig have something in common!

[@ajb2901]

Well if Neil chooses Vikings he'll get more of Ragnar and Ivar

[@shaneord7527]

Check out Jeremy clarkson documentaries, Victoria Cross then greatest raid of all time. Absolutely brilliant!

[@GingerDwarf]

Jeremy my man

[@redrb26dett]

Jezza been on a few times one of the few people who everything gets attributed to normally bad but he is too old to care
