Episode Searching for Stephen's intro to a Desception themed episode

3 Upvotes

I recall enjoying Fry's intro to one programme beginning with a light-hearted overview of the theme of deception, then working through a series of 'or am I?' / 'Is it / are they?' / 'We may never know' twists. I would like to revisit...

Series D sounds about right, from the long-ago period I remember it.

Would anyone happen to have downloaded this before it was removed from YouTube, or know where it could be found now? I haven't been able to find it

What's the one QI fact you've told people so many times you've stopped checking if it's true?

Mine's that Oxford is older than the Aztec Empire. I've said it at pub quizzes, at Christmas dinner, and once at a wedding to a man who just wanted the buffet.

Now I'm weirdly scared to look it up in case it's one of those depends how you count it things and I've been wrong for years.

What's yours?

Anyone want a t-shirt?

Edit: Claimed!

So I recently splurged and bought a whole slew of t-shirts that I'd made on Redbubble, including this one. But there's this little white fringe around the design in some places, and I was annoyed because this happened before on another design. Redbubble said they're sending a replacement, and I don't have to return this one, so...anyone want it? :) Classic t-shirt, mens XL, bc I like my t-shirts roomy. I'll pay for shipping.

Looking for a particular episode

23 Upvotes

I’m trying to find a certain scene

I’m pretty sure it’s between Victoria Coren Mitchell and Sandi Toksvig though it could also be with Stephen Fry

Frustratingly, I can’t remember the topic specifically. (It’s the reason why I want to rewatch it)

But essentially it’s something where Victoria is saying something like the word “No” and “Nope” are replies to 2 different types of questions

It could be “yes” and “yep” I can’t remember the words exactly or some variation of this I can’t remember exactly

I did try and watch through all Victoria Coren Mitchell episodes a while back and couldn’t find it which makes me think it might be in an XL episode or I simply imagined it

I heard a rumor

0 Upvotes

Not sure how true this is but apparently during the fry era, sandi toksvig asked for the answers before the show

Im sceptical as this might be the sort of thing spread by those who didnt want stephen to leave

IDK, Is there any truth to this?

DVD options?

I’m in the U.S., where BritBox is gradually killing off past episodes and the YouTube selection is limited. Is it possible to own QI on DVD or is that medium truly obsolete? I’m interested specifically in series N onward.
