The stamp king segment is in there twice. And the segment where the mother is introduced occurs after another segment where she appears.

Alan Davies is so incredibly smart and funny. 😂

Makes me wonder if he got annoyed being the comic relief and hit the books a bit, he pulls some surprising answers out of his ass something XD. He and Sandy are great together.

@@metubecm Apparently what really happened is that Alan is very smart, and smart doesn’t get you anywhere because soaking up loads of common knowledge is penalised in this game show. After a few seasons of coming in last place Alan stops answering and starts to win, he doesn’t like being the butt of the joke and is considering quitting. That’s when the producers tell him why he was losing before, and losing actually proved how smart he really was. He knows a lot of the common knowledge, the stuff we’ve all been taught but isn’t exactly correct, which means he’s learned incredibly well in school and is very intelligent, most people wouldn’t remember all that stuff. After that he started to engage more in the show again.

I remember as a nipper back in the 50's, when we still had small lit candles which had a small circular 'drip tray' on a clamp to clip onto the Christmas Tree, before the electric lights were invented....Never set fir to the tree or our house.....

I mean yeah, probably a coincidence 😀the etymology of Christmas is "Christ + mass", ie. the mass (a particular religious celebration of the Eucharist) of Christ.

Also Mithras comes from indopersian languages and refers to the exchange of gifts/contracts. Also related to Christmas then?

Mithraism, the worship of Mithra, the Iranian god of the sun, justice, contract, and war in pre-Zoroastrian Iran. Known as Mithras in the Roman Empire during the 2nd and 3rd centuries ce, this deity was honoured as the patron of loyalty to the emperor.

Don't forget it's also freaking expensive to send cards now. 75p or £1.10 each. I normally have to send 20 so that's £15 minimum. Plus the card prices so maybe an extra £5. So no wonder few folks are sending cards now.

I hope people realise that plenty of people aren’t celebrating Hanukkah in Israel due to the war Hamas started and the shocking massacre and hostage taking of innocent Israeli civilians.

I hope no "Orange Jesus Trumpists " see this. Hide, if they do. oh, wait. They won't understand anyway

I'm 45 and stopped celebrating it about 10 yrs ago.. The opening stats cement why.

wow that was a disappointing opener, thanks for pointing that out Dara. Stephan Fry is the worst...

The way they talk about Mithras, is slightly skewed tbh. Christianity didn't replace these gods/festivals, it just made sense to use the old calendar. It is quite normal. No compromise can be made about bewen niches little religions like Mithras and the worldwide impact the Christianity has had. Not even near to comparison, no matter what posh people say :)

The catholic church is a roman pagon rewriting of the jesus story, they deleted almost 90 gospels telling the full story, and only kept 4 badly edited gospels which were designed to recruit pagons over into their religeon.

Pure fucking laziness. The stamp clip’s in there twice, and Romesh’s mum is introduced in the second clip she appears in.

I have kinda lost respect for Christmas... kinda lost the feel good feeling... I agree ignorance is a bliss! Now with the Isreal doing what it is doing and justifying it, and United States and United Kingdom supporting it unquestionably... makes one wonder if all these religions and festivals and even Stephen Fry is just hollow! Stephen Fry is almost a relic from the British Raj... Anyways, if one tries to be honest to themselves, there is nothing much to it!

I’d like to watch more clips but unfortunately they include Rich Hall… He’s pathetic
