Someday, I want a king or queen to say: "There you go, Sir Alan, off you pop...."

Thank you for that correct distinction. The Nazi’s killed in mass murder camps over 6 million souls. The overwhelming bulk were Jews. There is no dispute. Yet the disabled, the intellectually unable, the Travellers (Gypsies). The socialists, the same-sex attracted and the opposition are counted within that number.

re the spacing of door hinges - Before hinges could be made of brass or stainless steel they were iron, and if the lower one were placed too low it would soon rust, from being splashed with water while the floor was being mopped. 9 inches from the floor is enough to keep it mostly dry. The invention of the metal hinge, and of the earliest keyed door locks, was such an impressive advance, that such things were placed in the care of the Goddess Arianrhod, whose home, Cae'r Arianrhod (Arianrhod's castle) is Polaris, the 'hinge of the heavens'.

John Sessions is like the not-interminably-dull version of Rory McGrath

I was a lumberjack for fifteen years. It's dangerous. You don't cut a tree down on yourself but trees often have dead branches that fall straight down, or the tree hits another tree and breaks a branch that thwangs back in your direction, or you're on a clearing job with a machine operator that picks up a fifty foot trunk and decides to do a 180 degree without looking behind him, or, the chain on a saw runs so that if you accidentally touch something with the tip of the bar it jumps back at you very fast.

Also get a kick out of Jeremy Clarkson's skill of confidently identifying tropical islands by a photograph.

Alan’s idea about a fluffy cleaner train should be considered

Please keep making these compilations. x

Stephen's sartorial splendour in that cravat really sells it. Here's hoping the cravat makes a comeback.

"50 men or 25 fat birds" when Jo Brand brings it... 😂 "measuring my door hinges... naked"😂😂

I love this show. Educate with humor.

I love Mr Fry's admonition of Mr Carr's limp wrist gag.

A bird of prey is an Eagle, a bird of pray is a nun...

There's something so goofy, endearing, and Bertie-Wooster-ish about Phill when has asks "Are you more weightless?" at 53:47.

I am an American and my door hinges are spaced 7" down from the top and 11" up from the bottom. Granted my house was built in 1919.

I'm so glad that they put the bit about the brown owls in twice.

One of the prisoners in Bastille was a madman who claimed he could see into the future and thought he was Napoleon.

Ah, Dara ! The thinking man's Grimly Feendish.

Eat the pidgin on the way back?!! NOT SPECKLED JIM!!!

I caught a mistake! Barbie ‘spoke’ well before the 90s - I had a talking Barbie in ‘68 or ‘69 and also Barbie’s red headed British friend, Stacy, who also ‘spoke.’ They were my first two Barbie dolls.

I thought well that's an odd topic for having deja vue about ....... BUT NO The Brown OWL's up for a mini series - After an appearance at the 4 minute its back at the 49th. THE EPICUREAN MYSTERY IS SOLVED ! *Turns out Brown Owls repeat on you*

56:00 >>> Dara is always the comedic star of ANY SHOW he is ever on. God how I love his stories.

I am pretty sure two of the ravens at the Tower of London were (are?) called Hugin (not "Eugine") and Munin because those were the names in Norse mythology of Odin's messenger ravens who flew across the earth and reported back to keep him informed of world events. They are the two ravens mentioned more than once in Wagner's "Twilight of the Gods" so I am surprised Stephen, being a Wagner fan, was unfamiliar with the names.

18 years ago, wow wee where did the years go.

"You didn't brush your teeth" 🤣💀💀💀

I believe that the whole ''arise Sir ......'' knight, was planted in our subconscious by Buggs Bunny smashing the sheriff of Nottingham's head with each bequeath of status and order. LOL the break in the fourth wall when Buggs looks out and says, ''kid's got stamina'' lays me out ever time. LOL london bridges baking a cake comic genius.

02:25 Alan’s not wrong- of the many things the Apollo men left on the moon: golf balls, lunar lander bases, a lunar rover….bags of urine and bags of faeces were also left!

53:46 Female Astronaut 1-- Do you think our space shuttle launch will be this much fun? Female Astronaut 2 - I'm sure it'll be one nobody will forget. Male Astronaut - Damn I forgot to check that rubber O ring on the booster rocket before they rolled the shuttle out to the launch pad. . Ah, i'm sure it'll be ok.

For another Kim Catrall movie, you could react to Porky's... or Star Trek VI.

Imagine a weekend away with vic and Bob, Sean lock, David Mitchel, Stephen fry, and the cockney with the mop head who I can’t remember the name of…. Oh and the Scot bridges who’s first name I can’t remember

I have hundreds of vinyl albums and hundreds of CDs. Of course I keep them in alphabetical order by band, and then chronological order by release date. And OF COURSE Kate Bush goes under "B", Jimi Hendrix goes under "H", Deep Purple goes under "P" and Led Zeppelin goes under "Z"! {:o:O:}

“It used to make, like… cheesy movements” 😂

My 12 year old daughter loves this show

Why the hell would 24 people dislike this?

40:40 "Doorhinge" is the only word that rhyhmes with "orange."

Hej Stephan. I just measured my door hinges. They are pre cut by the factory and cost 700 gbp each! There are only 2 hinges and they are equally spaced from the top and bottom of the door! Additionally, you cannot tell! I am 6’1” and have spent 16 years working with these. So I am calling BS. How many moons are there?

This show is phenomenal. I just got back from England and it is hilarious that they think they are more sophisticated and/or skinnier.

46:26 oh Jeremy thd irony of that question will come back to haunt you later!

Kite Flying in Vasant Panchami is a Hindu Festival, Its an Indian festival celebrate according to Hindu Calander. Its not a Pakistani festival. And, Yes, people have been caught and harmed by random strings of "Maan-ja" hanging from severed kites stuck or fallen in trees. Worst is seeing Pigeon hanging on one wing tangled in string and in hard to reach branches. Thankfully, the government did take measures back then and risks are greatly reduced.

I’ve always said, this is how we should be teaching our children in schools.

Mongoose not only attack cobras but scorpions too!

Whistle language last one I think is literally “Domingo era infermo.”

Interesting thing about door-hinge: Pronounced with a Liverpool accent, it's the only word that rhymes with Orange.

Dogs have been recorded warning people that something was wrong minutes before the person had an epileptic seizure.

Why is the brown owl clip on here twice?

What a thumbnail lol poor Fry

An Antonio Carluccio cooking video, he visited a highland of Itally couple of sheep herders. One on one mountain whistled, 'Raise your right leg.' There was a pause, then the man on the other mountain raised his right leg. Whistling wasn't just as similarly but as exact as the man to raise his leg wondered, what the other man was up to. He didn't want to be made a fool of but it was the best example of the precision in the language, that seems like just a few notes to untrained ears.

where do you get your content, dvds?

I havr always wondered exactly what a knave was . Now I know.

Wel, all I can say at least something interesting definitely happened, or very nearly interesting! Sorry, couldn’t resist!!! 😉😜🤪

And yet America resisted 😂

"They cut their own heads off". I'm afraid I'm going to need a few sources for that. It just sounds like Stephen Fry repeating urban legends again.

The way mass works is that if Phil floats into you it would create more force than if Alan did it. Billiards physics, basically.

Let children play with their food, it's a sensory process.

So many ads

Another accident: The Americas LOL truth!

Kippers.

Knighting Stool.

Clive the first to bring us whose line is it anyway, am not sure what his last name is. Owen's or andersen?

Do Series E

Aren't oliggosaccharides the greatest source of flatulence?

You try seeding a crop and the pigeons come and eat all the seed or your grain if it makes it that far . It was to save freshly seeded crops .

Doors are 6 and 6 at my house.

Has Alan been knighted yet?

All this talk of pigeons involving Stephen Fry and not one mention of Speckled Jim?!

An Australian Prime Minister has been seen to partake of his own ear wax. True.😮

St David was Welsh

the kiting is done with normal string endowed with glass particles. you cannot flow a kite on a wire. this is done in Afghanistan, too. watch the movie the kite runner in which this pastime is featured.

Wtf happened to Jonny Vaughan?

1:13, Roni will you marry me?

41:55 El Presidente!

PRESSA CANARIO .

Trying

To be so clever that you can correct somebody over the saint they resemble whilst having no positive interest in the topic (religion).

From where I'm sitting I can see four doors, all straight on. Hence zero foreshortening. No one spends more waking time in a doorway than elsewhere. It may be true but it's garbage thinking

I know he's dead but surely Saville should have had his taken away aposiopesisly ?

The last time i took my dog to the vet, he was going on 12 months old, and the vet asked me if i was planning on getting him desexed?, to which i replied "i have no plans on it at the moment, hes perfectly well behaved and hes in perfect health" She said "thats okay, but it was her duty to make sure i was aware that if i didn't get my dog desexed he would be at a much higher risk of getting testicular cancer" I just kind of smilled and noded and that was that. But the whole way home i couldn't stop thinking that, yeah of course having testicles makes you more likely to get testicular cancer, you might even say its a requirment... you can't get testicular cancer, if you don't have testicles! how is that in any way an argument to cut a perfectly healthy and functioning part of my dog off? When i got home i told my wife, we have to go hospital immediatly to have your breasts removed!. she replied "what the f*ck are you talking about?" and i said "did you know you are at a much higher risk of getting breast cancer if you have breasts, while we're at it we should get me prostate removed aswell!"

7:59 This perfectly encapsulates Vic Reeves’s level of “comedy.” He is not and have never been funny and he’s only had a career because Bob Mortimer has been carrying him.

right! thanks for the evidence of your greed, I shall be taking my QI joneses elsewhere from now on :)

Difference between America and Britain: Americans say "take a sh*t." English say "had a crap."

Who edited this did a shit job. They cutout what the K in Ghandi's name stands for, and they put in the bit about Charles Darwin twice.

How many bloody adverts do you need on this channel? , it's only been 6 minutes an there hv already been 4 stops for adverts, I'll stick to watching on I PLAYER

Don't watch this compilation unless you like bathroom humour

That Allan is the most Boring so called comedian….get rid of him.

Same old english crap

That Jo Brand is a disgusting thing

Stopped watching when Stephen Fry left. Not the same without him.

Dart...ugggh just as boring and nonsensical as golf and soccer (i'm not american)
