  Hi Stephen, Just about your card shuffle: You said: 'I'm going to do something that has not been done since the beginning of time' You then said that the pack was particular sequence for the first time since the beginning of time. I say random chance could bring up that same sequence on the very next shuffle although the possibilities against it are enormous.

  I love QI as well. However I have to agree with Stephen on today's show. He says the Germans don't care about beating England in Football. It is true that we probably want to beat the Dutch even more than England but that doesn't mean we don't care about beating England. Far from it. The point is England go on about 66 because they haven't won anything since whereas we have won a few titles since - even it is quite a long time since 1990 - so we kind of let it rest most of the time. And there's nothing wrong with drinking tea. I do and I love it.

• PaulB79266 | 18 Oct 11

  QI is great!! Tonite there was the old question about 'if a tree falls in a forest and there is no one there to hear it, is there no noise?' Stephen Fry said there is no answer as you can't tell. Rubbish! The forest is teaming with life that can hear trees fall, so I'd say there is definitely a noise which is heard or there would not be any forest.

  Just been watching an episode of QI, fantastic show but this episode had a BIG mistake in it, they were discussing the Judas Priest court case about subliminal messages in songs but they attributed the Ozzy song Suicide Solution to Judas Priest, although both cases where about the same basic principle of so called subliminal messages I'm surprised that the QI elves didn't pick up on this.

  In the first Harry Potter book it says that catching the snitch gives you 150 points, therefore generally leading to winning the game, but not always. I am disappointed Daniel Radcliff doesn't even know his own story! =) You have made a mistake QI, dun dun duuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnn

More people like Johnny Vegas, who give plenty of banter to the infamous and brilliant Stephen Fry. Again, well done and keep up the brill work guys, love it!

  QI is the most chilled out, entertaining and informative show on TV, from the point of view of not particularly being a quiz show based surely on trivia. Stephen Fry is quietly clever, gently patronising and totally at good as quiz master. And I take my hat off to the superb Alan Davies, for allowing himself to be made a fool of week after week. Simply wonderful. X :)

Please tell me you did get that and you weren't seriously asking about why it's not Q.I.LX?! p.s. I wish I could meet Stephen Fry for real; I love his mind.

  Love Q1 and watch it back-to-back for hours as well as the new shows. Congratulations to Stephen for his recent award confirming his national treasure status. However, I was dismayed to hear him say 'different to' as well as the correct 'different from'. Still, as he is a Cambridge graduate I suppose we have to make allowances!

  Noah took 7 sheep so they could eat one of them while they were afloat in the storm. 2 unclean to repopulate. 7 clean. 3 pair to repopulate livestock and one to eat. I'm not religious but that is really well written I think. Good retrospective belief fore thought! :)

  I know it is meant to be a comedy show, and I enjoy it as such, but when they claim that if you can see a ship when windsurfing it is 3 miles away, that is wrong, unless the "ship" is of no height!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The horizon may be 3 miles away, but a ship 30m tall and just visible, is 15 miles away. The show is pedantic, so am I.

  QI - with the wonderful Stephen Fry at the helm - is undoubtedly the funniest and most entertaining programme of its type on telly. I've been a fan from the very first show and love enjoying the shows again on Dave. We need to have a national campaign to have Mr Fry at least Knighted of not elevated to a Lord. He is one of this country's most prized assets, a true National Treasure!

  RE QI that is on now (22.31) - found this about the other MI numbers.... At which time we the british empire have been called upon to defend itself, its allies and dependancies it became nessacery to form a number of departments and agencies. Over the years these dapartments have served a number of different roles and purposes. in answer to the above question: MI1 Code breaking, MI2 Russia and Scandinavia, MI3 Easton Europe, MI4 Aerial Reconnaissance, MI5 Domestic Intelligence, now The Security Service, MI6 Foreign Intelligence, now the Secret Intelligence service, MI7 Propoganda and censorship, MI8 Signals Intelligence, MI9 Undercover operations supporting POW, MI10 Weapons and technical Analysis, MI11 Field Intelligence, MI12 Military Censorship, MI13 Remains Classified, MI14 German Intelligence, MI15 Aerial Photography, MI16 Scientific Intelligence, MI17 Secretarial section, MI18 Remains Classifed, MI19 Extraction of information from foreign POWs MI20 - MI25 remain Classified. It is important to also remember that most of these where small departments and at the end of world war 2 they were mostly all merged into MI5, MI6, GCHQ and other agencies. most british intelligence agencies still remain classified to the general public x the only reason this information has been released is that these agencies have all now terminated activity and new agencies have replaced them.

• Leonae | 9 Jun 09

  Ps. I have just read Bumflufs comment and realized you were referring to him about the whole I.Q thing, which adds two more points, one being; On your next comment, watch your grammar and two; my point still stands about your intellect being insulted, whether it was by me or some one else. Pps. Not all I.Q tests are taken online, you can take official ones set by your government, true they're not accurate, but they're the closest thing to it, figure out a new way to test I.Q if you want, you could get rich from such a discovery, or... you could always calm your fingers and leave this game for the big boys to handle... Now who's being undermining. (Thought I'd add that in for Bumfluf)

• Leonae | 9 Jun 09

  You really should read what people type before you decide to "bash" but I'll humor you. Firstly; I didn't write that I used Wikipedia, in my opinion Wikipedia is flawed, because it gets its information from the public and not from trusted sources. Secondly; I gave facts and proof into my claim, thus why I gave a link in my comment, you on the other hand would rather show how childish you are by trying to undermine someone over the internet for merely giving some insight into a topic and not having any proof to back up your claims that I may be wrong. Thirdly; I never mentioned anything about I.Q tests, I just think you saw my post as an insult to your own intellect, because in some small childish way, you're somehow jealous of a random person on a random website that just happens to know more than you. And to be honest, that's pretty sad... Grow up.

• nirvana452 | 8 Jun 09

  im sorry but leonae just because you do a ton of research on wikipedia doesnt make you an expert QI has more then one person researching so do you really think that you can aquire more knowledge then a huge group bumfluf doing an online IQ test doesnt prove anything those things are often off by alot and ive not seen the one about the navy so i cant comment on that but about nelson simple where you there? how do you know what was really said you ever played chinese whispers because with nelsons last words thats whats happend people have told others n theyve misheard and its ended up being something a million miles away from what he really said

• norfy1935 | 22 Apr 09

  I have to agree with Leonae regarding the idea of firing whoever supplies Stephen Fry with his duff information. His 'last words of Nelson' were miles off the mark, and as for 'the only boats in the Royal Navy are submarines' totally ignores such items as longboats (which are nothing to do with either canals or Vikings), motor torpedo boats, whalers .... even an admirals barge cannot be regarded as a ship. Incorrect facts should be avoided like the plague in a programme of this type.

• Dwarfer 3million | 17 Apr 09

  QI is FANTASTIC, it is one of the best tv programs in the UK. It also is very funny and yet it is very intresting and I hope that it carries on to influence, like me, generations to come.

• bumfluf | 26 Mar 09

  Qi is the bong! the humour is very high brow (unless Johnny Vegas is on - then its manic!) This is Fry at his best. I myself have an encylopiedic knowlege, and an IQ of 148, but I still learn things while peeing myself laughing, It is brilliant TV.

  So my last comment didn't seem "bleak" to some, I'll end on a Proverb by - Zhuge Liang. "Those who are skilled in combat do not become angered, those who are skilled at winning do not become afraid. Thus the wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win."

• Leonae | 20 Feb 09

  I have no idea who Stephen Fry has working for him to get his information, but he should fire who ever said Cruithne was a moon, I also do a lot of research into facts. I think the object that you're referring to which is a 3 mile (5 km) object in a horseshoe orbit around Earth that has a period of 770 years. You can read a press release about it at Space.com. It was discovered in 1986, but it took a lot of observations in order to figure out its complicated orbit, which was determined in 1997. In the press release, one of the scientists involved with the study called the object a "moon", because it shares Earth's orbit, however, it's definitely not a moon like our Moon. First, a horseshoe orbit is much different from the elliptical orbit that the Moon makes around Earth. The Moon actually orbits the planet Earth, while Cruithne just shares the Earth's orbit around the Sun. The orbit of Cruithne is also very inclined with respect to Earth's orbit around the Sun, so it moves in and out of the plane that the most of the planets orbit in. This large inclination is part of the reason that Cruithne won't collide with Earth. Second, objects trapped in orbits like Cruithne's are only expected to remain in the orbit for a few thousand to tens of thousands of years, which may sound like a long time, but it's actually fairly short in the timescale of Solar System history. After Cruithne escapes from its present orbit, it may become a Near Earth Asteroid on a different close-to-Earth orbit, or move onto an orbit more similar to our Moon's orbit, in which case it would be more like a "real" moon. No one seems quite sure which scenario will happen. So I guess I would think of Cruithne as more of a Near Earth Asteroid that's trapped by Earth's gravity, not as a moon. And in fact, it's classified by astronomers as an Aten asteroid, which is a group of Near-Earth Asteroids on similar orbits. But Cruithne is a good example of the fact that Earth's gravity can interact with nearby asteroids, bringing them closer to Earth or forcing them onto different, strange, orbits.

  QI is undoubtedly one of the best and funniest shows on TV. It is the perfect vehicle for Stephen Fry's impressive intellect and the interaction between him, the guests and the audience is often hilarious.

  Definitely agree with the comments about Bill Bailey being great on here. Since Bill has retired from Buzzcocks and panel shows generally "to concentrate on his tour", AFTER the tour I reckon Dave should approach Bill about producing a new show with him featuring heavily on it. There have been various attempts in the past to get a regular Bailey show on telly to varying success but I reckon he's now learnt enough to crack it.

There are now seven states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, plasma, fermionic matter, Bose-Einsten condensate and (since 2000 at CERN) quark-gluon plasma. Why not put the updates at the bottom of the screen about new discoveries like this? You'd get fewer physics pendants emailing in like this!
