Byron was slightly younger than Jane Austen (he was among the younger romantics like Shelley & Keats), and he kept a bear when he was a student at Cambridge because they didn't allow students to keep dogs.

As others have said, you can't sexually assault people in GTA. I think there's some form of torture at one point, from what I can recall of GTA V, that is a bit uncomfortable. Mainly the games are "just" an exaggerated/condensed criminal life, with humor sprinkled in.

Yeah: QI's awesome...and it's been going long enough to give reactors who do the whole show years of content.

The researchers on QI also have a podcast called 'No Such Thing As A Fish' whereto four presenters talk about a weird fact that they've learned that week, it's funny, entertaining and quite interesting.

QI is one of my favorite shows. So entertaining and educational. Nice to see you watch so much of it.

Every pic of me ever taken has me either looking drunk or my eyes being closed!! I don't drink and my wedding photo's were not great!! Lol!!

My brother had a bungalow in the exact place were Lord Byron used to sit and write his poetry. Beautiful place over looking green open fields.

There’s actually been a lot of research into if video games can be a safe outlet for people with violent tendencies/anger issues

Stephen Fry, the former QI host, is such a great polymath and just knows oodles about so many topics, always shot through with his great sense of humour😊

I learned the "sabot" story from a *Star Trek - The Undiscovered Country* where Kim Cattrall played a Vulcan officer who told the origin story of the word "sabotage" and its connection to the French Revolution. I don't recall why this was relevant in the movie and what the Enterprise crew was supposed to sabotage, but that information stuck. 😁

The man of the cloth in that clip is Reverand Richard Coles. He is incredibly intelligent and hilarious to listen to. he was also a member of a pop band called the Communards back in the Eighties.

I think you would really enjoy watching whole episodes. There’s so many fascinating facts you’ll learn.

Sometimes you just have to be a Star Trek fan. In Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country, Kim Cattrall explained the origin of sabotage, and it coming from 'sabo' lol.

More QI please! Thanks for the reaction! 👍

The guy with glasses, and the dog collar, is the Right Reverend Richard Coles. He was once the keyboardist in a band called The Communards (for another French connection). Nick, who is interested in music, should take a listen to their song, ‘Don’t Leave Me This way”. Richard Cole’s left the band to become a priest. He is a regular panelist on QI and a pretty smart guy. The Communards were members of the Paris commune, formed in 1871, after the the French were defeated in the Franco-Prussian War. The commune was suppressed by the French Army in May of 1871. 43,000 Communards were taken prisoner and 8000 fled the country.

**QI siren noise and flashing "RIGHT REVEREND" ** No, he's just the Reverend Richard Coles. Bishops are Right Reverend.

Just wanted to say good morning to you. Really good reaction today. All the best from the UK.

Lord Byron (1788 - 1824) tried to buy a 12 year old Greek girl whom he had fallen in love with (circa 1809/1810 when he was a 21 or 22 year old) - he offered her mother £500 (today that is equivalent to about £49,800)

I find it weird how people can straight up believe something just because they "heard someone say" without ever thinking to fact check

on the Nottingham tram system in England all the trams are named after famous people from Nottingham so there is a tram called lord Byron and a tram called ada Lovelace as they were from the Nottingham area.

You guys do the most genuine reactions, loving your content.

Right up until magnetic tape was introduced in the mid 1960's punched card was still used to program and enter data in computing. One of the first programs I ever wrote in the 1980's required a transfer from punched card onto magnetic tape.

I’ve taught programming and the nature of AI. Following my teacher Prof. Maggie Boden I use knitting patterns to get some key ideas across.

From what you described, the G in GTA stands for Gabe!

Ada Lovelace was amazing and Lord Byron was wild.

That's one of my favourite TV shows

Byron - "Mad, bad and dangerous to know" at least according to Lady Caroline Lamb.

Rock steady is a British company who made games as a British person. I wanted to check what you said in the video and as you can see, the answer that I discovered is in the paragraph below The widely popular "Grand Theft Auto" video-game series lets players get away with a wide range of virtual crimes, including looting and murder.

I got so bored with GTA that I bought the Taxi Company and spent time as a taxi driver!!

Lord Byron: mad, bad and dangerous to know - according to Lady Caroline Lamb. And the computer game Grand Theft Auto was developed in Britain, strangely enough.

The Royal Mint recently issued a Lovelace coin.

Team Jodi. Ftw 😊

Ada Lovelace’s mother, Lady “Annabella” Byron was a very gifted mathematician herself, and pretty good with verse too. Though her husband’s ability with words was something else and no doubt helped him enormously in his copious relationships with the ladies, despite his apparent club foot.

Lord Baron Byron FRS (22 January 1788 - 19 April 1824).

I was born in Huddersfield in West Yorkshire in Britain and literally at the bottom of the road I lived on as a child we had the meeting place of a Luddite group which went on to attack a mill in 1812 (in fact the meeting place called the "Dumb Steeple" because it didn't have a bell in it was in the middle of a roundabout on the way to where we did our local shopping for vegetables) Also as Huddersfield was a wool cloth manufacturing town the local museum was full of cloth manufacturing history and when I went on a school trip to the museum as I was one of the tallest children I got to operate the loom which were replaced by the Jacquard looms later Later in history we did a year of revolutions Three 18th century revolutions: The Industrial Revolution The American Revolution The French Revolution So you could say we had a very revolutionary education LOL You might be interested in some videos on roundabouts (I think they are called circles in the USA) This is a video about the "Magic Roundabout" in a town in Swindon England by Tom Scott: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dmZmpLGId8XWdrA.html Enjoy!

Please watch a documentary on Ada Lovelace. She was the only legitimate child of Lord Byron. He abandoned her and her mother and fled to France to avoid debtors. He didn’t see her again. Ada was a genius.

There are a lot of people who need to get there angry feeling free, must go to a contact sport or play a violent game, When you’re stressed they advise you to go to a bokssport or judo to get the bad stress go away, (but a lot of people can pay it) So they saw that violent games helpt to, you can react with games and not with movies. ❤❤

As much as some people cry "It's just a game!..." The reality is we use games in the military to desensitize and train troops. Because it works.

I remember when the first ever GTA was released and my nephew who was 7 at the time played it. Imagine my frustration when he followed every road law possible.. Stopped at red lights, kept to a safe speed limit, wouldn't overtake on a bend etc etc I guess it was a good thing that he thought that way, but so annoying.

You can't rape anyone in GTA. Think of GTA more like an interactive cartoon. No one was turned into a violent loon by Tom and Jerry or Wilie Cayote see it like that because that is the closest analogue.

Ive played GTA since i was 5 years old and im fine... People love anything for an excuse. I myself love comedy No you can not sexually assault people in the game, there are prostitutes. Then San Andreas had a debacle where they left game code in that could unlock a consensual sex mini game with girlfriends in the game and Hillary Clinton at that time used that for her campaign. They are mostly dark comedies, GTA3 parodies the godfather and sopranos type shows in vibe, GTA VC parodied 80s miami vice and scarface type cinema, San Andreas was 90s African American gangs and the crck epidemic. I am aware of 1 game however from the 80s that visually looks like the old school 8 bit style of that time where you played as a cowboy and the only goal was to sexually assault a native american woman... That game was and still is banned as far as i know of. Video games get judged far more harshely compared to the silver screen... Youll essentially never explicity see sexual assault in a game unlike movies. Its rare you see consensual sex and even nudity is pretty uncommon without having a heavy rating applied... Unlike casual violence cos thats apparently more acceptable than concensual love making... Modernity 🙄 On the other hand a show called Outlander i believe scarred my mother cos in 1 episode they had a 15+ minutes long sxual torture scene...

I don’t think it’s so dismissive at the same time. Now I don’t think there is a link myself. But something has changed society the last 30-40 years and this younger generation is something else. I think newer technology like video games have a part in it. I also think the internet and the ease and quickness of information and items also adds to it. But to say a video game created a serial killer. I don’t agree with that. Interesting enough. Pornography has been shown to be a link to criminal activity

I know the point of these channels is for you to react to things you don't know about, but maybe experience the thing before reacting to it. You just reeled off the list of GTA things that either aren't required in the game, or dont happen in the game, yet are constantly quoted. Theres so many things wrong with GTA games, attitudes regarding women, and Rockstar games flogging a dying horse for ten years spring to mind, but levelling up via rape isn't one of them 🙂

Early QI (older than this even) you always had panellists that could answer the questions and load on the knowledge... but then diversity quotas became a thing and the stale old white men had to go, and were replaced by the Beeb's rotating carousel of mid-wit 'stars'.

QI. usually lives up to its name .
