Stephen Fry

Radio Times review

Although it manages to keep the smutty/lavatorial humour to a minimum, Jack Whitehall's exuberant reaction to solving an Only Connect puzzle makes Stephen Fry smile. "You've made a happy man very old," he sighs.

Several clips in this compilation of QI highlights have an ocular theme: Phill Jupitus tries on night vision glasses, Alan Davies a peripheral vision aid and Josh Widdecombe "railway spectacles", while Jo Brand reckons her bonnet with a monocle probably belonged to an elderly Dickensian prostitute. Plus there are some terrific "liquid larks" and scientific tricks. The one involving stroking a fake hand gets Sara Pascoe very excited indeed.

If you've missed any of this series, you can catch up in one go with this compilation. Of course, those who are offended by the show's occasionally lavatorial humour should leave the room during the gags about briefcase toilets, the genitals of the beluga whale, the sex lives of ladybirds and so on.

Granted it's not been the wittiest series of QI. So for me the best bits (they're included here and still made me laugh) were the panellists' riotous attempts to rotate their right foot clockwise while drawing the figure six in the air and Stephen Fry's messy science lesson about how to make a lava lamp using effervescent hangover tablets.

Radio Times review

Here's the kind of knowledge-nugget many QI fans might appreciate. Tonight, Stephen Fry offers a scientific explanation for the phenomenon of walking into a room, then forgetting why you went there. It's not just brain decay, he reassures us, but a possible hangover from our evolutionary past, whereby crossing a threshold, moving from one environment to another, in some way resets our mental state.

Now where was I? Oh yes, so also on the show are Jimmy Carr, who, love him or loathe him, is on flying form, Suggs and Claudia O'Doherty, as well as the very QI line: "I can't believe you're being so blasé about this Stephen - you've killed a unicorn."

Opinion: what is a comedian?

I wouldn't claim to know every gigging comedian by any means. But when it was announced in the press that Stephen Fry was to marry stand-up comedian Elliott Spencer my ears pricked up. I'd not come across Spencer and couldn't find any mention of him on any reputable comedy websites. Is it possible that he had slipped under my radar?
