[TIP] Q.I. met Stephen Fry !

QI is a unique quiz show hosted by Stephen Fry (the QI master) and broadcast by the BBC. As well as being IQ backwards, 'QI' stands for 'Quite Interesting.' Though the teams supposedly change each week, you will often see guests do more than one show. The only permanent guest is Alan Davies who, despite playing every week, seems to lose every week as well. But this is all part of the fun of the game.

The rules of the game are simple - each round is based on a different subject, with the next round being linked to the previous one until the final round links back to the first round. Although points are awarded for answering the question correctly, more marks are given for the answers to questions being 'quite interesting' than for actually getting the right answer. However, if the question is answered with an obvious yet mostly-wrong answer you will lose points. Each guest is given an 'attention-seeking device' - buzzers where the usual 'ding' sound has been replaced with a daft sound effect. For example, in one episode Alan Davies's buzzer was replaced by the sound of an automated speaker system saying 'Cashier number four please'. Obviously, the show is not meant to be taken too seriously and the totalling of points does seem a bit off each week; however, this results in QI being a hilarious, yet very informative, panel-game show.

Is dit eigenlijk het eerste seizoen? Ik denk namelijk dat ik het al eens gezien heb, maar dat is wel even geleden.

The American English word cookie –meaning a biscuit –comes from the Dutch koekje, which means ‘cake’. What Britons call biscuits, Americans call either cookies or crackers. Cookies tend to be sweet, crackers savoury. In North America ‘biscuits’ are more like scones.

Digestive biscuits were originally designed as a cure for flatulence. However, they do not, in fact, help the digestion and have no particular digestive qualities. In the USA it is illegal to sell them under that name.

Over een kwartiertje, om 23:00 uur op BBC2. .
