Everyone just hates on Rory because the role of the really knowledgeable one on the show was for Stephen, not the panelists. That and the fact that Rory seemed to think it was a show to prove how knowledgeable he was rather than a comedic experience.

I always liked Sean Lock, but my respect and admiration for him rose considerably after his 'portal to the underworld' joke that effectively cut off that insufferable Rory McGrath being a self-flagellating bore. Most QI fans suspect that McGrath was the 'unnamed guest' who demanded to know what all the questions would be for each show they appeared on in advance, so they could research them and make themselves look super-clever by apparently knowing almost all of the answers. And, having watched that particular show in full, I can attest McGrath had been smug and very condescending right from the start. Sean was THE ONLY PERSON on that panel who finally stood up to him and knocked him off his pedestal, because Sean was a good man who believed everyone should share the spotlight, not just one self-important prick who thought he was better than everyone else. He could've even been nasty about it, but no - he took the diplomatic route instead, and used humour rather than humiliation so there would be no uncomfortable atmosphere afterwards. The man was a class act, and was taken far too soon.

@@janchapman3445 Honestly, in light of what McGrath had been doing up until that point, that was mild - by ANY comedian's standards, not just Sean's. He'd been condescending to other panel members, 'correcting' their answers when he decided they hadn't got them as 'right' as they could've been, and just generally taking any and every opportunity to make himself look like the cleverest dick in the room - even if that was at the expense of making it look like he'd just 'schooled' another panel member. He was OBNOXIOUS. I had heard it was actually John Sessions who was the 'unnamed cribber' on QI now - but honestly, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if McGrath didn't also pull the same stunt. He was never invited back after this one appearance, so there's that...
