I myself obsessively collected those series at that age, that's how much I liked them! Having said that, I personally do not think they would appeal to anyone older than that, this is not "young adult" category (let alone for proper adults) with layers & nuances... but not for preschoolers either, due to the crime element.

Sean Lock's incredulous comment 'You had a prep-school tailor ... what, for that suit you wear when you're five' leads to the most hilarious follow-ups. It's one of my very favourite QI episodes. Jo Brand (perhaps not seen in this montage) doesn't join in at all, but just collapses in floods of comic tears. Classic episode.

And to think "They say of the Acropolis......" didn't actually make the final cut of the episode in which it was filmed. (It was put in an extras and outtakes episode that was bolted on to the end of the series to save making a Christmas special that year.)

I was waiting for the Acropolis clip to crop up, and I was not disappointed!

Rest in peace Sean Lock. You will be dearly missed!

Acroc-apop-acropolis had me in bits. The way he just wittered to himself at the end.

Watching this and nearly crying with laughter has made me realise how much I, and all of humanity will miss this great man when he eventually leaves this earth. But I hope that will not be for many more years to come. So dear Stephen, I know you will obliterate this cancer and you will continue to delight and educate us all. Fight for your life and don't let this silly little obstacle beat that beautiful soul of yours 💕

Stephen Fry, one of the all time greats - so funny and intelligent, yet humble and prepared to laugh at himself without a care. Amazing.

The 'child-buffing workshop' quip was absolutley GENIUS.

"Child-buffing workshop" is one of the weirdest things I've ever heard.

Always loved it when Phil Jupitus was on, a winning combination as you knew it was only a matter of time before he started taking the mick out of Stephen Fry; his Madeira pince-nez and the hilarious child buffing workshop have me in stitches every time!

I......I....CAN'T.....BREATHE...... Forgot how it got when Phil was digging at Stephen. So good.

Phil Jupitus is a hilarious beast.

"When other people are getting on with their lives ..." "He has chiseled out War and Peace!"

"I suggest a cummerbund for Geography". RIP Sean, you were taken too soon.

"You beast!"

-I think Phill Jupitus was probably the one guy who could get Stephen Fry so flustered. Personal favorite Jupitus-Fry moment is when Phil has the pencil in his mouth from this kzread.info/dash/bejne/i4d93LqigNzKgLQ.html What a fun crowd!

How could you leave out the part where Phil flirts with Stephen and in answer to his questions "how many muscles are there in your hand?" say: "One, if you play your cards right..." That whole segent (from Fingers & Fumbs) is hilarious!

Maria Hammarström wrong on both accounts: the hand has no muscles in it, only bones, tendons, and blood vessels. Also, the human penis does have a muscle, but it's at the base, behind the testicles, everything else is just a bag of skin with veins and a central canal. ....it's 4:30 in the morning and I'm responding to months-old comments of a compilation clip from a show I never watched...

@@MartinTraXAA Hmm ... I'd say it's certainly referring to a penis in said hand. Of course the penis is not really a muscle but it's commonly seen as such and it still makes more sense for that joke.

"...That there are no straight lines." An indeed there were none in that whole bit! There were so many wonderful bits where the members all chipped in with very funny stuff. ... Another of my faves is the giant tortoise. .. It always seemed like a bunch of friends getting together for a friendly evening of fun.

Stephen Fry is a gift to this world and should be remembered for generations as a witty comic, human rights activist, and a man with a brilliant intellect. Still, it is fun to make fun of someone who grew up with an upper-middle class background who doesn’t know what beer goggles are nor had a school without a school tailor to custom fit individual students.

it's 2019 and even after seeing it for I don't even know how many times, the acropolis bit has yet again left me in stitches

The sound Phil makes of the motor on the child buffer bogging down under load kills me every time.

Stephan is so bloody adorable. God bless him.

I dumbfounded by my love for this show. All seasons, both hosts, the vast majority of guests. QI might be the best thing BBC has ever produced, including the the rich wealth led by Sir David Attenborough. It's rarified trivia filtered with base and raunchy jokes. That's all it is. And it's _*great*_.
