I love Q.I. generally but this episode is just incredible. The sci-fi themes, the Trek-ish costumes, the absolute delight of the sci-fi nerds, especially Susan Calman, who is currently my absolutely most beloved comedian—hilarious, a complete nerd, and an adorable Glasgow accent.
I have not watched a QI episode in a few years, I’ll have to check it out.
I could not agree less. I watched it in 2019, this episode is the worst one I’ve ever seen and caused me to give up on Qi
I love Stephen Fry too, but Sandy Toksvig has been great on the show.
It’s a great episode, but my favourite one is “Overseas”… because I was in the audience.
Fantastic! I’ll have to track that one down.
I’m so used to Sandi Toksvig now that seeing old clips with Stephen Fry is a little bit jarring.
