I used to like him then I thought have I actually heard him say one original thing worth remembering?
Now I realise he's just good at remembering things
A bit like any pub quiz bore
A great man, in my opinion. He really doesn't take himself too seriously but when the subject is serious he is considered, intelligent debater.
I've been a fan of his since his early days. He did go a bit off course in QI three series ago and was far too smutty with all the references to choir boys bottoms and so on, but he's back on track now.
