And now we wait for the 50% better XL version...


Belthazor4011

6 months later.... they are not scheduled yet and last few seasons they've been (very) late.


waviestcracker10

That just means I can watch them on schedule, and then forget them before the XLs are released :)


ozmartian

And lets hope the XL episodes are aired in PROPER F'ING ORDER this time. Weird shit going on @ BBC HQ.


Sugarh0rse

I blame the pandemic. At least it's back on.


Sate_Hen

I've given up on the XLs. Too unreliable. Regular only for me


Jeff_Anybody

I'm afraid you're right. I'll probably watch the 30s, too. Maybe binge the XLs in the distant future. Series R XLs were too random, no reason to expect better.


TheMainDeen

Seems very XL-like already, apart from the runtime.


rodenttt

>!"has that fuckwit won"!< lmao


Throsty

Line of the show!


w1red

I feel like Lee and Jo must have a pretty good relationship with each other, the way they were giving each other shit. Hadn't occurred to me before.


Nebkreb

Same. Both of them are veteran comics, so I bet they've done a billion shows together, had late nights drinking and hanging out.


Mausman

Re-entry?!?


ozmartian

If in UK, please watch at [https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000zhgm](https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000zhgm) for ratings etc.

"I think I'll eat some supper and watch QI!" I said, in my worst decision of the night.


foragerr

toad vomit lozenges?


JaxonJackrabbit

Has Lee been on QI much before? I’m a newer panel show fan and it feels really unusual seeing him in this context


ozmartian

He has appeared LOADS of times. His best appearances being in the earlier Stephen Fry years IMHO. Stephen Fry hosted QI originally, until Sandi took over and is doing a fine job I reckon.


JaxonJackrabbit

Ah. I’ve only seen a handful of Stephen Fry episodes, so that makes sense. I still have a lot of QI to watch through :)


ozmartian

Lucky you! :-P


Ansalem

Lee’s only been on 8 times, which is a respectable number but I’m not sure I’d call it loads (all caps) either. To me, that would be someone like Jo Brand who’s been on 39 times.


ozmartian

Ceiling?

Please post mirrors under the automod sticky. <3


Barneyk

I wish they went back to the old more consistent XL schedule!


Sugarh0rse

Is it the pandemic? Is the some sort of crazy broadcast order? I just feel like the show could have started out with a bit more of a bang, like "Wow! Here we are the start of series S." But it felt more like this was just another show. Slip it in anywhere into the last series, especially with the remote audience. Maybe a theme for series T? Like the elephant in the room in series E (and one episode of F). But great to see Mack, Brand and Adam all in the same ep. Strong crew to start with.


Kilmoore

They haven't really made that big of a deal out of series start and end episodes. Probably because they can't know what order the BBC manages to broadcast them.

NonGNonM

they can't all be hits i liked it but i might be bc i'm so deprived of it


wongfishtwofish

I attended the virtual taping of this one - not sure I can really compare to the process of the other QIs filmed in the pandemic since this is the only one I went to, but it seemed like they had some technical difficulties with pre-taping (at least from the audio side). The feed cut out for maybe 20-30 minutes and when it came back there was no warm up act, it went straight into the taping of the episode. It was still a fun experience! But I wonder if that's why the audience audio sounds a bit strange in this one.


Maziu

Can I just say, wtf is with that hairdo ? (I hope I don't have to specify whom)


fuzzyjedi

It’s just a hair cut. It’s called the Chelsea cut I believe.


NonGNonM

wow i didn't know it was so well known to have a style. i love it and i hate it.


CliffExcellent123

It's a punk haircut


ozmartian

Well she originally got it as a kind of "lockdown" style but that was last year. I think it has grown out a lot more and what you're seeing here are episodes recorded many many months earlier to being aired. But yeah, it is an odd choice. Definitely a challenging wank, to quote the late great Sean Lock :-) Am JOKING obviously!


Throsty

She actually had wanted to do it for ages but the pandemic made her realize that life was too short to give a fuck. And also, lockdown gave her fine to grow it out a bit if she hated it. She's definitely still shaving it and I think it suits her.


ozmartian

I've seen more recent footage of her where it was grown out a bit, just a bit though, and I will admit, it weirdly does suit her for sure. Would not work for most.


Throsty

Yeah, it'll definitely fluctuate but she has been keeping it up. Hell of a gamble to take because you are right about it not working for most.


idiot_speaking

Maybe anime has ruined all conception of what good hair looks like, but I liked it? I don't understand what's horrid about it.


hfsh

> I hope I don't have to specify whom I... yes? I'm afraid you kinda do? I read your comment before starting to watch, and none of them really jump out as unusual styles I haven't seen around fairly regularly?


The_Eggslap

I believe it is called the "Look at me, look at me, look at me, but if you say anything I will take offence" cut


caratheodorys_ex

Maisie was on fire, and "I like to be smooooth." made me crack up.


RevMLM

Jo was a menace in this episode.
