Can anyone else hear David Mitchell talking when Victoria starts complaining about the dumbing down of the media? Those two were made for each other! 😂
Ian Hislop loves to get stuck in to other for their views, but doesn't seem to like it when it's aimed at something he likes. Not the first time I've noticed that.
He just doesn't like it when people correctly point out all nonsense around the royal family.I remember he said on the show once that he was having a party himself to celebrate the Queens birthday one year.@@BumMcFluff
@@alancawfield6549 yeah I actually like Ian a lot but he goes full-on "fingers in ears saying lalala can't hear you" when someone suggests that just maybe the UK doesn't need a monarchy in the 21st century
but victoria always looks like she's got something up her nose. She really can't pull that look off now as she is 100 lbs overweight and did not age well at all.
Kirsty is beautiful beyond words. Seems they have edited out a lot of Kirsty's laughing crack ups to make her far more serious. She's renowned for losing it completely and taking ages to get a re-take.
I’m so in love with Kirsty, love her voice, sense of humor and stunningly beautiful. The only woman who could tear me away from Victoria. (Who doesn’t look very happy here.)
Kirsty's voice reminds me of Loraine Kelly's voice. They both have soothing voices that are just so calming, especially while listening to them during Covid-19. I also think that even if they said something terrible it would still sound okay because they said it! Lol
Was just thinking, When did Victoria marry David? Because that exact firmly dismissive tone, with that precision timing, when she disputed the pig's psychic ability was so utterly David, she must have been 'channelling' him! {Oh..just looked it up - that same year - 2012! I rest my case.)
I have seen a video montage of the flottila , it was boats on a river. Quite boring but then again i am not british so i did not get excited about it. Oh well it is some years ago now
One of the best episodes. Tho' this is really an episode of extreme sizes. Do we go with huge/tiny or put 2 huge on one side and make the show look like it will tip over at any point? I know Greg Davies is huge 6' 5"? Edit: I've just read he is 6' 8". That is seriously unfair. I want to put a claim in for 8" of leg. I don't want the hair or the huge feet - and I want it balanced. 4" from below the knee and 4 " above. I don't want freaky legs. But I didn't know Paul Merton was huge. Now I want to know everybody's height, cos I can't stop a look of disbelief crossing my face, at the differences, every time the cameras change angles..
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"
Bless you, Victoria, for sticking up for QI. She's right, it's one of the few shows on TV that actually celebrates knowledge and doesn't assume the viewer is a complete moron. How rude of them to suggest otherwise!
Except that at the time this was broadcast Fry was still the presenter. He's pompous and condescending, and spends most of each episode mumbling unintelligibly. Sandy Toksvig is a HUGE improvement.
The show is well conceived. Paul has a very sharp wit and Ian has a great sense of humour . Kristy and Victoria are perfect in their touch of repartee.
She's touchy about that stuff because deep down she knows she's bullshitting herself about there being a god. Keep an eye out for it; it's always the way with smart people who are openly theistic -- they are particularly sensitive about their own bullshit being so much more sensible than stuff like psychic pigs and horoscopes.
@@samharper5881 I didn't know she was a god believer! I had heard David Mitchell making some dubious mutterings about possible god and thinking, "Don't tell me...!!! Please! No!" So are they both god believers, or is David refusing to rubbish god belief because he so adores Victoria? And is this a Xtian god?
@@georgielancaster1356 There's a great bit on an episode of The Unbelievable Truth where Victoria buzzes in on Henning Wehn's "invented by Jesus" bit just to see how David rules on it. (He gives her half a point because there might be a God.)
It would have been great If just in the background you saw a trio goofballs sailing a Tobota with an outboard engine bolted to the back ... *I do agree with Victoria though . My mom used to call it lowest common denominator programming . Just keep throwing shit at the wall to keep the idiots entertained and they won't notice it's shit ... I've recently added on the last part but I think it holds ....
I always love HIGNFY, but these shows where BOTH Kirsty and Victoria are on are magic! Also, having Greg Davies crashing about making glorious fun of everything on the same program, it's too much, too good!
Be pretty hard to hang onto a dead shark wouldn't it? All sharks are slightly negatively buoyant as they don't have a swim bladder. Perhaps it was a dolphin, they're often mistaken with those big fins.
Old Ian has had a great many likeable moments. He might seem cynical, but he has always been a good egg. It's hardly his fault that the UK that he reacts to as a journalist and a comedian is chock-full of the likes of Robert Maxwell, Rees-Mogg and bloody Nigel Farage, is it?
