00:00I
00:31APPLAUSE
00:35Good evening and welcome to QI.
00:38Right, what is the best weapon to ward off a wasp?
00:43They don't like a vacuum cleaner.
00:45Ooh, OK.
00:47Cos they just, they're there, and then they're gone.
00:52They...
00:53Always have one at a picnic.
00:55Oh, there's a wasp and there's a...
00:57Not anymore.
00:59It's not fun when you change the bag.
01:06It's nearer Nish's area, this?
01:09My ass!
01:11Yeah?
01:12People put distracting things near to a picnic, don't they?
01:15You mean like, maybe like...
01:16A jar of something sticky that they go to.
01:18Like a jar of...poo?
01:20Is correct.
01:22APPLAUSE
01:26That's the same...
01:27That's the same way you get rid of men in the morning.
01:31LAUGHTER
01:39You're calling her a jar?
01:42See ya!
01:44LAUGHTER
01:45Leave it in between, yeah?
01:47Morning!
01:49I'm going to go to work, actually.
01:51LAUGHTER
01:51I've known Lou, but I think about 15 years.
01:55And for some reason, that is the first time I've seen you
01:57actually shock yourself with something you've said.
02:01LAUGHTER
02:02Which animal has the largest testes?
02:05BUZZER
02:06The Nigerian male.
02:07Sorry, I...
02:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
02:16But in second place, some kind of whale.
02:18OK, what kind of whale?
02:19The blue whale?
02:21BUZZER
02:22BUZZER
02:22BUZZER
02:23BUZZER
02:25BUZZER
02:25Never say blue whale.
02:27No.
02:27Never say blue whale.
02:28So, you're thinking of the wrong kind of whale.
02:30Anybody? Another kind of whale.
02:32That's the wrong whale.
02:33BUZZER
02:34BUZZER
02:35BUZZER
02:36BUZZER
02:37That's the wrong whale, and we want the...
02:40Right whale.
02:41The right whale. Alan gets a point, is exactly right.
02:44Yes.
02:46APPLAUSE
02:49They're talking about the North Atlantic right whale.
02:52They have the largest testes on Earth.
02:54They can weigh up to 500 kilograms each.
03:00BUZZER
03:01Would sperm be so big that I personally could ride on it?
03:06LAUGHTER
03:08Having larger testes doesn't necessarily mean you have larger sperm.
03:11In fact, having larger testes makes you more promiscuous
03:14because what happens is you give a little bit of your sperm
03:17to many more partners and that's why you have large testes.
03:19I'm afraid, Sandy, that wasn't my question.
03:23Can I ride on one of the sperms of this whale?
03:26No.
03:26But what are the advantages of having such huge balls?
03:30Really?
03:31LAUGHTER
03:31LAUGHTER
03:35Anyway, I can show you this.
03:36Right whales, because they've got these very large testes,
03:38they produce four and a half litres of sperm in one go.
03:43OK?
03:44Erm, and that...
03:46Is that much?
03:48Oh, wow.
03:49That's a lot, isn't it?
03:51Yeah.
03:51Bleh!
03:55Bleh!
03:56In 2021, there was a Florida man called Kurt Hilberth.
04:00He spent three days trying to get an iguana out of his toilet.
04:06How big is an iguana?
04:07I have no idea.
04:08You've hugged me many times, darling.
04:10I am about the maximum height for an iguana.
04:13Height?
04:13Or, like, length?
04:14The length, yes.
04:15So, no, they don't stand on their hind legs.
04:17So...
04:17Yeah, but if you were to lie down...
04:18If I were to lie down, I could do that on the desk in front of you
04:20if that was helpful.
04:22LAUGHTER
04:22Let's do that.
04:23Let's do that.
04:25APPLAUSE
04:27Come on.
04:29CHEERING
04:40Right, now, you've got to imagine one of them in your toilet.
04:44Yeah.
04:46Am I going to get in trouble for stroking Sandy's arse?
04:51Not with me, not now.
04:54What were the hats called, anybody?
04:56Ten-gallon hat.
04:57Ten-gallon hat.
04:58Do you think it had ten gallons in it?
05:00Yes.
05:01No.
05:02It actually came from the vaquero's sombrero,
05:05and it really didn't become popular until the 1920s,
05:08which is, like, way after the Wild West.
05:10Most cowboys wore bowler hats.
05:12They would call them derby hats.
05:14And, of course, they didn't hold ten gallons.
05:16Maybe it came from the Spanish tangalan, meaning so gallant.
05:20Probably, it's just an exaggeration.
05:22So we had a go at making a hat that could actually hold ten gallons.
05:27LAUGHTER
05:27Now, this...
05:29Whoa!
05:31LAUGHTER
05:39It looks like you're about to go on a hen do and drink out of that.
05:42I'm on if you are.
05:44Yeah.
05:44Weirdly, this is actually only five gallons.
05:46Do you want to try it on?
05:47If it had been ten gallons, it would have been as tall as me.
05:50So tiny, then.
05:52LAUGHTER
05:53Oh, that's...
05:54Fantastic.
05:55That could run it off a steamship.
05:58LAUGHTER
06:00How do you think that the sperm whales protect themselves from the killer whales?
06:05Ejaculate.
06:05LAUGHTER
06:13The thing is...
06:14The thing is...
06:14A very powerful...
06:15A powerful jet of ejaculate.
06:16The thing is...
06:17The thing is, you're so close to the right answer.
06:20LAUGHTER
06:21Oh, I'm always close.
06:25APPLAUSE
06:28Just because it's a sperm whale, it does ejaculate other things, it does throw out other things.
06:32What might it be?
06:33Oh, do they wee on it?
06:34Not oil, not wee.
06:35What's the other thing?
06:36They might...
06:36Poo.
06:37Poo.
06:37Poo.
06:38It is called...
06:39Shit on them.
06:40They do.
06:43It's called defensive defecation.
06:45So, they form into a puddle with their heads facing into the centre, and they put all the youngest and
06:52most vulnerable members of the group into the centre.
06:55Then, as the orcas attack, they release massive amounts of diarrhoea.
07:00Is this really a thing they do, or are they just crapping them?
07:04Yeah.
07:05It's like, what if...
07:06What if they've just been?
07:08LAUGHTER
07:10And they're like, oh, God, why didn't you attack me five minutes ago?
07:13I'm ready to go.
07:15The mum's in the middle going, just have a try for me, please.
07:18LAUGHTER
07:19And they've seen this in Western Australia, researchers.
07:21Not only do they spread diarrhoea out, they then flap their tails like this, and the orcas just...
07:26Spreading around?
07:26The orcas just bugger off.
07:27Wow.
07:28You would.
07:29Yeah, absolutely.
07:30Not eating that.
07:31LAUGHTER
07:32So, it's known as flocculent, which means it's woolly, but it just means it's got little tiny pieces in it.
07:38So, it's bits that have not been digested well.
07:40But, Kiri, you get a point of talking about the mums weirdly saying, come on, you can do this.
07:44Oh, I thought you were going to say, cos you've done it.
07:45No.
07:47Both the sperm whales and the orcas have a matrilineal system.
07:50So, it's basically, it's an older female or a matriarch, and she is the respected leader of all the pod.
07:55She's the mama, the mama is in charge.
07:57Yeah.
07:58I love that.
07:58Mama the pooper.
08:00LAUGHTER
08:02You shit and you shit.
08:05LAUGHTER
08:08There is an extraordinary culture in Japan, though, of sort of curious ideas.
08:12They have a word for it called chingdogu, and it means weird tool.
08:15The selfie stick is one that came out of Japan in 1995, but 20 years later was, you know, they're
08:21ubiquitous.
08:22There is a hay fever hat.
08:24Oh, OK.
08:26So cool.
08:28So you've each got a prop next to you.
08:30See if you can guess what they are for.
08:32These are weird tool inventions.
08:34That hay fever hat is by Kenji Kawakami.
08:36I mean, mine are.
08:38Right.
08:40So, Phil.
08:41I presume...
08:43LAUGHTER
08:44That is a daddy-nurser.
08:46Right, what have you got, Alan?
08:47I mean, they're plastic glasses and they've got little funnels on them.
08:50Mm-hm.
08:51So you could pour...
08:54..erm...
08:55..eye drops in?
08:56He's exactly right, darling.
08:57They are eye-drop funnel glasses so that you don't spill.
09:01That's amazing!
09:02That is a good invention!
09:03That is a good invention!
09:04You know...
09:05Together, Alan, we could get some pretty precise milk in those eyes.
09:09LAUGHTER
09:13They look very clean and eyeballed.
09:16LAUGHTER
09:16What's another name for a cardiac arrest?
09:21Yes, Danny.
09:22Oh, heart attack.
09:24Oh, Alan.
09:26Oh...
09:27A myocardial infarction.
09:31What?
09:31Wow.
09:32OK.
09:34APPLAUSE
09:36I know that.
09:37Yeah.
09:38Because it's on the warning label if you buy a packet of Viagra.
09:42LAUGHTER
09:50We are going back to 1735 at Drury Lane.
09:54There were two actors called Charles Macklin and Thomas Hallam,
09:57and they were both working at the Drury Lane.
10:00This is Charles Macklin.
10:01And they got into a terrible argument over a wig.
10:03They both wanted to wear this particular wig in the show.
10:08So, the story goes that Thomas Hallam had it on.
10:11There are various versions of this.
10:13Most likely what happened is that Charles Macklin, who always carried a cane,
10:16was so angry about the wig that he went to flip it off Thomas Hallam's head
10:22and he accidentally, violently pierced through his eye...
10:27Oh, jeez.
10:28..and into his brain.
10:30Oh.
10:31OK.
10:31So, there was a third actor there who was playing...
10:33Good noises.
10:34I know.
10:35He's really like Panto.
10:37He's really like Panto.
10:38He's really like Panto.
10:52..in his eye.
10:53Whip up your skirts and urine in my eye.
10:56Well, there was a belief that urine could disinfect wounds.
10:59Anyway, this is a terrible thing.
11:01This made the actor in the dress so nervous,
11:03he couldn't produce any urine.
11:06Yeah.
11:06And so, Macklin, who'd done the stabbing
11:08and was really sorry that this had happened,
11:11urinated into Hallam's eye socket.
11:14I don't think he was sorry.
11:17Well...
11:19I think the original excuse of,
11:21sorry I pierced into your eye,
11:23I was trying to whip the wig off your head
11:25is a bit far-fetched.
11:26And also, sorry for them pissing in your eye socket.
11:30Anyway, it's not a good story.
11:31Hallam died.
11:32Oh!
11:34What?
11:34Despite the urine, I know you're surprised, right?
11:37Did he go to prison?
11:38Did the other one go to prison?
11:39Well, he was tried for murder, Macklin,
11:40and part of his defence was,
11:42the wig was absolutely necessary for my part.
11:47These were homosexual men?
11:49I suspect so, my darling.
11:50They do.
11:52So, 2018, the communications director of Zoo Miami
11:55told a story of an unnamed man.
11:58So, this man was originally from Central America,
12:01where iguanas are eaten,
12:02and he came across dozens of lizards on the ground,
12:05all frozen.
12:06And he thought, well, this is marvellous,
12:08I'm going to have them for dinner.
12:08And so, he put them all in the car.
12:11And off.
12:15Off he drove.
12:16Off he drove.
12:16And they all warmed up.
12:19This was like a contender for the Darwin.
12:21I know, right?
12:23And they all started running all around the car,
12:25and unfortunately, he crashed the car.
12:27Oh, dear.
12:28I had a similar experience.
12:29Not with iguanas, but...
12:32I put a load of firewood in the boot of my car.
12:35Right.
12:35Because we were renting a cottage in Wales,
12:37and they were charging a fiver for a bag of wood.
12:40I'm not having that.
12:40I'll bring me own.
12:41Yes.
12:42But wasps hibernate in wood.
12:44Oh!
12:45I had to pull over three times on the way
12:47to let wasps out of my car.
12:49They just woke up in the boot and started flying around.
12:52Yeah.
12:52What is wrong with you, darling?
12:54It's only £5.
12:55It's £5.
12:57That was £5 for a one bag of wood, though.
12:59I had a boot full.
13:01We had that fire roaring.
13:04And buzzing.
13:08And the irony is,
13:09he didn't want to get stung for the bag of a...
13:16Does anybody know what is the best way to toss a wok?
13:20You go down.
13:21You go down,
13:22and then up.
13:23Down and up.
13:24It's a down and up motion.
13:25OK, but it's...
13:26I don't know if this is...
13:27Not like that.
13:27Not like that.
13:28It'll go everywhere.
13:29You've got to go up like that.
13:30Right.
13:31It's really heavy, can I just say.
13:33So this is a proper professional one.
13:34So have a go, darling,
13:35because it is really a heavy thing.
13:37Woo!
13:44Take me to your leader.
13:47It is heavy, though, isn't it?
13:48No.
13:49It's not heavy, Sandy.
13:50Oh, OK.
13:51It's not heavy at all.
13:52Just like that.
13:53You go down and up,
13:54and then it goes.
13:54I'm imagining it.
13:55OK.
13:56Going up.
13:57OK.
13:58Could you use it as a hat?
13:59Would that work?
14:00Oh, fuck!
14:01Oh, fuck.
14:07Oh, fuck!
14:11Oh, fuck!
14:13Oh, fuck!
14:15I love it!
14:15Oh!
14:16I love it!
14:17Oh!
14:18I feel you've been as stupid as you can be.
14:22I think something happens.
14:25It makes sense.
14:27It's not as deep as you think.
14:29You all right?
14:30I think I'll be all right. I mean, I might get a lump, you know?
14:36I don't know.
14:37It's deceptive. It's not as deep as you think.
14:42You all right?
14:43I think I'll be all right. I mean, I might get a lump, you know?
14:52So you won't remember any of it?
14:58OK, next question.
14:59What use is a square wagon wheel?
15:03It stopped me rolling away.
15:05That is a very good point.
15:07But in this case, wagon is a person's name.
15:09So in 1997, there was a professor called Stan Wagon
15:13at Macalester College in Minnesota,
15:15and he made a functioning square-wheeled tricycle.
15:20OK? This is not him.
15:21This is a man who, I don't know, in a suit.
15:25And he's called Stan Wagon?
15:27The guy who invented is called Stan Wagon.
15:30Did J.K. Rowling name him? Like, what?
15:34So in order for a wheel to work at all,
15:36the centre has to be level, right?
15:38So the easiest way is to make a round wheel.
15:40But if you make a specific track,
15:43so you can see he's on a very specific track here,
15:44then the wheels can be any shape pretty much,
15:47apart from triangles, really.
15:48So look at this, right?
15:49This is a rather brilliant bus,
15:51but it doesn't go anywhere because it's got square wheels.
15:54However, if you make a surface like this,
15:59which has got what these humps are called inverted catenaries,
16:03and basically, look, along it goes like that.
16:08I know.
16:09So the reason this is interesting,
16:11there's an engineer called Gerard Font,
16:13and he thinks because stones with very similar curves
16:17were found in Giza,
16:18this method may have been what helped people
16:21to roll the blocks into place for the pyramids.
16:23So I guess you can see it's kind of pointless,
16:26but it's also interesting.
16:27Yeah.
16:27How did they do that?
16:28But that road there looks like every 20 mile an hour
16:31is only a school anyway.
16:32Yeah, that is so true.
16:35Isn't it fascinating?
16:36Wouldn't it be great to have a car with square wheels?
16:38I just really like it.
16:39I really don't think it would.
16:40No?
16:46Desperate for one speed bump.
16:47Here we go.
16:48Here we go.
16:49It comes into its own.
16:51Oh, well, it's just me.
16:52I like a square wagon wheel.
16:54That's just the way I roll.
16:56Oh, nice.
16:57Come on.
16:58I like it.
16:59Thank you, Ishan.
16:59I appreciate that.
17:01Obviously, I can't give you drugs or antidepressants,
17:03but I've got these,
17:04and in fact, you've got some in a little thing there.
17:06So these are called warheads,
17:09and they're sweets and they're readily available,
17:11and apparently they are to ease anxiety.
17:15Oh, OK.
17:15It's a kind of grounding technique.
17:17Before you put it in your mouth,
17:18I will just tell you they are very sour sweets.
17:21They have a pH of about 1.6,
17:23so that's two and a half times as sour as a lemon.
17:27And the idea is that they're a distraction,
17:29so if you feel anxious,
17:31apparently, put one of these in your mouth.
17:33It's a short-term fix, OK, for anxiety.
17:36Do you want to try it?
17:36I have an anxiety disorder, so I'm excited.
17:39Yeah.
17:39On initial contact...
17:42LAUGHTER
17:44LAUGHTER
17:48LAUGHTER
17:48LAUGHTER
17:52You're not sending it to me, Nish.
17:56LAUGHTER
17:56LAUGHTER
17:56You're not sending it to me, Nish.
17:58But...
17:59LAUGHTER
18:00LAUGHTER
18:00But have you forgotten about being anxious?
18:02LAUGHTER
18:14When I was a child, I was in the choir at Holy Trinity Brompton
18:18and we were paid a shilling a week for services,
18:22two shillings for weddings, but five shillings.
18:24I'll tell you what they are later.
18:26Five shillings...
18:27LAUGHTER
18:27For funerals.
18:29Yeah.
18:29So we wanted funerals.
18:30We were little boys who wanted death in our midst.
18:33So we would, during the prayers,
18:35we would eye up the congregation
18:37as we were praying through our hands like this,
18:39and we'd focus on the frailest-looking member of the congregation.
18:44LAUGHTER
18:44And then we would all simultaneously
18:47pray for this person to die.
18:52LAUGHTER
18:53APPLAUSE
18:55And God loves a young entrepreneur.
18:59LAUGHTER
19:00Because week after week,
19:02these old buggers fell off the back.
19:04LAUGHTER
19:05Many of them, unfortunately, dying intestate.
19:08Because they weren't...
19:08Without a will.
19:09Without a will.
19:10Right.
19:10So that is the point.
19:11So I feel guilty that people do die without leaving a will.
19:14But if they were old and frail,
19:16by then they really should have had wills.
19:18They should have known better.
19:19They weren't like...
19:20If Michael didn't have a will,
19:21it would be more understandable than no offence.
19:23Because if...
19:23You didn't have a will.
19:24LAUGHTER
19:27I've got stuff.
19:29I've got, like, tamagotchis.
19:30I can give them...
19:31LAUGHTER
19:32What's the worst or most embarrassing accident
19:35anybody here has ever had?
19:36Oh, you're counting soiling yourself.
19:39LAUGHTER
19:39I mean, we are now.
19:41LAUGHTER
19:44I've got a poo story.
19:46Go on then.
19:46I was going to tell a story about shaving.
19:48Oh, I cut my scrotum with...
19:52LAUGHTER
20:00I was alone.
20:02Sure.
20:02To do a podcast.
20:03And there was a company that...
20:06There were lots and lots of podcasts about football.
20:08Nearly all by boys and mostly listened to by boys.
20:10Anyway, they started sending these shaving kits around,
20:14giving the shaving kits for shaving your undercarriage with.
20:18And we were all sort of in the 40s and 50s.
20:21I thought, what?
20:21People are doing what now?
20:24Anyway, I tried it and I cut myself on this shred.
20:28LAUGHTER
20:28I thought, this shouldn't be possible.
20:30It's got all this kind of protective thing on it,
20:33but I got a little bit carried away.
20:36And that is the most embarrassing accident.
20:38And now you've made me say it on the Christmas show.
20:42LAUGHTER
20:44I'll tell you where you went wrong.
20:46You need to stretch the skin.
20:48That's what it is.
20:49You just went like this, cos you're lazy.
20:51But you need to stretch the skin.
20:52Trust me, I know I'm Arab.
20:53I know about hair.
20:55LAUGHTER
20:56Thank you so much for doing mine.
20:58LAUGHTER
20:58I'm not grooming that bathroom to get that smooth.
21:02LAUGHTER
21:06You'd need two people like if you were folding a sheet.
21:10LAUGHTER
21:12Two people pulling it out and one other person with a lawnmower.
21:16LAUGHTER
21:21Imagine you have a big bowl of cream and a hand whisk
21:25and I want you to show me how you'd whip it.
21:27Now, you should have beside you an apron,
21:29cos we don't want to get you all filthy,
21:30and a whisk and a bowl of cream.
21:32Ooh.
21:32So, let's have a go.
21:33There's your thing.
21:35I'm not going to bother doing it.
21:36Are you good at cooking, Joanne?
21:38No.
21:38No, nothing.
21:39It's not your area.
21:40No.
21:40OK.
21:40I order a lot of food in.
21:42Right.
21:43Yeah, toast and stuff.
21:44Like, I'm...
21:45LAUGHTER
21:46I bought an air fryer to try and make an effort,
21:50but I just keep my keys in it now.
21:52LAUGHTER
21:53Alan, you don't have a bowl of cream.
21:55Why not?
21:56Well, I'll show you in a minute.
21:57You look like you could do a cooking show.
21:59Yeah!
21:59Very hot.
22:00Can we start?
22:01Yes, go ahead.
22:01Go ahead.
22:02Yeah.
22:02Sally's done that before.
22:04Yeah.
22:09Yeah.
22:10So, nobody so far is doing it correctly.
22:12Oh, what about?
22:12Is it that?
22:13No, it's still not that.
22:15Very technical.
22:15Yeah.
22:16So, the way that it...
22:18LAUGHTER
22:20What are you doing?
22:22It's how I make money.
22:25LAUGHTER
22:27Andrew's OnlyFans is popping off.
22:30You want to introduce air bubbles, right?
22:33Oh.
22:33The most effective way is to whip side to side,
22:36not round and round.
22:37Yeah.
22:38Yeah.
22:38Because it produces something called shearing forces.
22:40So, where the two forces go in opposite directions,
22:42and they affect each other.
22:43So, Alan, you have got...
22:44Why am I not allowed to play?
22:46You've got a cocktail shaker,
22:47because it's exactly the same shearing forces,
22:50and you can easily make cream in a cocktail maker.
22:53No way!
22:53No, just go...
22:55Don't...
22:55I've seen them do it.
22:57It's not the Copacabana.
22:59I've seen them do it.
23:00I've seen them do it.
23:00I've seen Tom Cruise do it.
23:01Just go back like that.
23:01The backers have always like that.
23:03What you want with the shearing forces
23:04is you want to make the liquid continually bash into itself.
23:07OK?
23:08So, no, just side to side.
23:10Just side to side.
23:11Just side to side.
23:11Just side to side.
23:16They did this in a bar.
23:18No one would buy a drink.
23:20You want to have a cocktail? Stop doing that.
23:24Who the heck?
23:25Who the heck?
23:25If you...
23:27What is this?
23:30Can you imagine that in a Tom Cruise movie?
23:35So, we were going to do a test to see if it works,
23:37and to see...
23:38Has anybody made enough cream
23:39that we could tip the bowl upside down
23:41and put it over your head?
23:43Oh, no.
23:46They have not.
23:57So, have I got it on your top?
24:00That is literally the worst thing a boy has ever thrown at me.
24:05It feels like we're at kindergarten, doesn't it?
24:08Oh, that's right.
24:10It's all over me cards, you knob-end.
24:13Sorry.
24:15The team thought that I should have a buzzer of my own.
24:19What noise does it make?
24:21Well, let's have a look and see what noise it makes.
24:23Do you know what that is?
24:26It's the Danish national anthem.
24:27Oh!
24:32So, because it's the Danish national anthem, they bring me...
24:34Thank you, Jack.
24:35Please respect our pastries.
24:38This is...
24:38They're so tasty.
24:42This is genuine Danish licorice and it's called spunk.
24:45Oh!
24:47Really good.
24:48Would you like some of my spunk?
24:49I don't want it, but I will have it.
24:52I'll have...
24:53Yeah, I'll have...
24:54You want some spunk?
24:54Yeah, I'll have some spunk, Sandy.
24:56I know that's going to become a meme or something.
24:58Hank, give some spunk to Ashley.
24:58Thank you very much.
24:59Oh, yeah.
25:00I'm not even going to tell you what this tastes like
25:02because, you know, it's written on the tin.
25:06It's really bad.
25:07Yeah, it's truly bad.
25:09It tastes so salty.
25:10It's even worse than black licorice.
25:11You're talking about my national candy.
25:14Do we have like a spittoon or something?
25:18What I've always wanted is to have an audience of people watch as I...
25:24Ashley?
25:25Yes?
25:25A tiny bit of spunk just...
25:32APPLAUSE
25:37One spoke on a coach trip...
25:39Oh, please don't.
25:43And the driver was a huge man.
25:45Really, really big man.
25:47And he pulled over on a hard shoulder and he got out of his cab
25:50and he made his way down the aisle.
25:52He thought, what's going on?
25:53And he went down the stairs into the loo.
25:56And eventually he re-emerged and he said,
25:59no-one can use the toilet.
26:01It's full.
26:03LAUGHTER
26:09Anybody in the audience want to talk about...
26:14Now it's time to wet our whistles.
26:17Anybody know what these cups are?
26:19Is that the Europa League and the European Parliament?
26:22LAUGHTER
26:23So we'll start with the one on the left.
26:25It's called a wager cup, OK?
26:27And it was used in drinking games.
26:30So this looks nice and easy and you just drink out of here.
26:32But in fact, what you do is you hold it like this and here is a cup
26:37and here is a cup and it is designed for two people to drink from.
26:41And the idea is that you both have to drink all of it and not spill any, OK?
26:47Simultaneously?
26:47Yes.
26:48So, I'm going to bring it over.
26:49Oh, no.
26:51So, which one of you wants to drink from the smaller cup?
26:54Who's going on bottom?
26:55Who's going on top?
26:57I'm going on top.
26:58I've got some vintage QI wine here.
27:01There we go.
27:02Like that.
27:03Oh, that's full.
27:05Like that.
27:05OK.
27:06Shall I go on my knees?
27:08LAUGHTER
27:13Someone's getting rebooked.
27:14Yeah.
27:17Oh, sorry, are we still filming?
27:19OK.
27:20So, you have to do it at the same time.
27:22So, am I going to watch you?
27:22And you both have to finish all of it.
27:26Go on.
27:27Oh, it's pretty good.
27:29Oh, brilliant.
27:30Why is it so sexy?
27:32It's fantastic.
27:36Yes!
27:37CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
27:44And this is one for older people.
27:46You may remember Ronnie Hazelhurst.
27:48He was a former BBC Light Entertainment musical director and composer.
27:51And he wrote lots of famous theme tunes.
27:54Some others do have them.
27:54Blankety Blank, Generation Game.
27:56And when he died, the obituaries blindly took his wiki page,
27:59which also said that he wrote the S Club 7 song, Reach.
28:03LAUGHTER
28:04Which I think we should just listen to right now.
28:06Do you not think?
28:07What do we all think?
28:08Let's have a dance.
28:09Yes.
28:09Let's do this.
28:10Here we go.
28:10Here we go.
28:12Here we go.
28:13Like every massive high-up feature.
28:16Don't stop.
28:18The love of your host is high-up feature.
28:21Don't stop.
28:21It went round, didn't it?
28:23LAUGHTER
28:24Here we go.
28:26Here we go.
28:31Here we go.
28:38This is fantastic.
28:40Waiting just for you.
28:43That's for you.
28:44It's a special place.
28:46Where your dreams are.
28:48Come on.
28:49Let's go.
28:49Fly.
28:50Whoo!
28:51Whoo!
28:52Whoo!
