@Kathryn Schauf Depends on the book and more importantly the age of the reader. The only books of hers that I know of are about children sleuths solving mysteries/crimes of one kind or another (The Famous Five etc) and as such will appeal the most to kids of that age range, around 8-12 year olds. 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.

"I know you think you're doing a voice, but that is how you talk." is still one of the quickest, funniest put downs I've ever heard. And the varnish bit is amazing. (Couldn't have happened without ALL the guests being creatively funny. Phil's imagination runs wild, but it's Sarah's "are they varnished? Can i varnish one" that kicks it off. And Alan's impression of a child encased in varnish really brings it.. to a high sheen)

QI with Sandi Toksvig is still an excellent programme, and I can't think of anyone who could have done anything like as well as she has done in stepping into Stephen Fry's shoes, but this collection of clips illustrates just what made the show such a joy to watch. It must be awfully difficult to be as "English" as Stephen Fry is.

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.)

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...

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.
