Sue Perkins is quite funny, but holy crap, she cannot not talk. It’s less obvious on QI than on other shows she’s done, particularly radio stuff, but she often seems to feel that she has to get a few words in on every single subject that comes up. Yes, much more so than other panelists.
Me, I don’t need to hear Jo Brand’s story about getting fitted for a bra again. What was the name of the Australian comic who was on recently? Cal something? She was a hoot and I hope she comes back.
Also, what is even the point of the half hour shows when there’s an XL episode? Who wants less QI?
Ross Noble is severely underrated. He is utterly incapable of not being hilarious.
Cal Wilson, a New Zealander who lives in Australia (just like me!) and whom I follow on Twitter. Very funny, one of my favourite local comedians.
You are welcome, but I really did that by memory, I found out some of those are not correct, the correct episodes are not I-Spy and Explorers, but Espionage and Exploration.
