QI

I've just watched last night's edition. Wasn't it good? I thought it was, anyway.
Interesting history of gender issues
e.g. Pink was the colour for baby boys until the 1920's
All babies/youngsters were called girls until (if I remember what they said) about the 1500s .... there were male youngsters who were knave-girls and female youngsters (wearing serene and appropriate blue!) who were gay-girls A mixed bunch would just be girls
Fascinating

Here's the link if you want to watch on iPlayer

Excellent guests on as well. I've just watched the repeat on BBC2 and thought it was great.

Re: QI

The first few programmes after it transferred to BBC1 seemed to be going down a rather smutty path and I feared that it wouldn't go back to the quirky BBC2 style, but it has. I think it is really wonderful - and probably wouldn't work with anyone except Stephen Fry as questionmaster/host.
