Q.I. Researchers...

You've been rumbled.

We don't mind you using our material, but give us some of the credit please.

Personally, I love your programme but you've used waaaaay too many B3ta references now for it to be 'just a coincidence'.

Give us a mention and we'll say no more about it.

You have been warned (in a friendly way).

Blapto...

I'll start with a couple I can remember from the latest series...

The websites bit including www.whorepresents.com & www.penisland.com etc

The political correctness gone mad 'Winterval' bit where Stephen Fry actually mentions a 'daily mail readers' line straight out of the QOTW.

There have been over half a dozen occasions where B3ta posts have turned up as references on QI...and I only know that because I never miss an episode.

Soooo Auntie Beeb...give old Pooflake a call and I'll write for you...

I too
Thought it a bit of a coincidence but put it down to that Q.I has tentacles all over the web and possibly finds stuff that we also find.

Also...
I've been able to answer many a QI question from childhood memories of reading Reader's Digest books such as Fact or Fallacy, or How is it Done? *taps nose*

Another thing to consider...

The fact that after (and during) nearly every round, they show photoshopped pics relevant to the subject matter.

How do they think of these things????
