Dennis Carol and Mark thatcher are her husband and kids. If you want a giggle look up Mark, he’s an UTTER shitbag
Please react to Greg Davies Bad Dong episode of big fat quiz 2015.
You could type your notes Neil
You should look into The Inbetweeners for a Greg Daviesfest. His first starring role on television.
The "unintended-but-the-guests-get-there" thing was more common in the early years of the show, with John Sessions and Clive Anderson being the leaders in that regard. (Also with less-regular people like Vic Reeves and Gyles Brandreth and– ugh—Rory McGrath.)
that "Good god… I can't marry you but couldhave a bloody good go" was the highlight of the episode
If you enjoy Greg as a guest, check out his appearances on Graham Norton. Not your usual fare for reaction content, but it might suit you, and he's certainly hilarious. Excellent storyteller, as you may guess from WILTY.

Yeah my Mexican friend invited her entire village, so her wedding was a cool 1000 people
Here's the thing. When it comes to the Stephen Fry era of QI, you don't have to wait for recommendations for specific episodes. The whole series is amazing! Yes, there are some that are extra special, but there is no such thing as a bad Stephen Fry QI episode.
I think we very nearly got a spit-take at anal hoopla.
15:05 women and men were shorter in the 19th century, women were an average of 5ft 3". "Long" Liz Stride one of the Ripper's victims was called Long Liz because she was so tall, she was 5ft 5.
Are you going to do the second season of I Literally Just Told You?
In your mission to see all the Bill Bailey episodes, I strongly recommend episode 8 of series M, '"Merriment" – it's also the Christmas episode for that year, so good timing if you're able to do it this month, obviously dependent on your schedule.
That monkey is looking back there thinking, "it's an absolute casserole back here".
I just saw the Christmas show for series r — rejoice. It was very funny and at times exciting. If you have a chance you should watch the Christmas episodes from each season. They are always good.
Series M Episode 4 Miscellany is fantastic also.
Greg Davies is pretty awesome in Inbetweeners too
The QI points system is going to be the last mystery of the Universe.
Ha. This episode is being repeated right now!
"We love Pliny, don't we" – I believe the QI elves, on their podcast No Such Thing As A Fish, have a habit of referring to him as "friend of the show Pliny", because he's involved in a lot of funny facts. I almost wonder if Fry's cue card referred to him this way as an issue joke, and Fry spun it into something that made more sense on air.
Or just everyone that is into odd facts loves Pliny.
On divorce rates in India – I had a conversation with an Indian coworker, and he attributed the extremely low divorce rates to the culture of arranged marriages, which I found strange, but it makes sense: you don't marry for love but for economic reasons. Which also means that not loving your partner (anymore) is not a reason for divorce, because it doesn't change anything regarding the reasons behind the marriage.
Of course, less and less marriages are arranged in India these days, but they still exist in pretty large numbers, so that would be one contributing factor.
And the correlation between cost of a marriage and its longevity (is shortevity a word? My autocorrect doesn't think so) could also be linked to something else – if subconsciously you know that you're not with the right person, you may want to drown this feeling in a glorious wedding day, or your expectations in your wedding day are so incredibly high (because movies and kitsch novels) that the reality of perfectly ordinary life as a couple after that day are too stark of a contrast.
9:37 Hes talking about the Thatchers Neil
