When will France finally have the amazing freedom of speech and fun on tely?
Can you picture such a thing with Sarkozy as a main topic and people talk about him in such a way?
For the French and people who might not know QI, two things:
-It usually goes on air after “the river”. The river is 21h00 where everything that goes on telly is not censored anymore. For example, an episode of Brothers and Sisters showing Kevin and Scotty kissing would be cut in the afternoon but full after 21h00 because we consider the kids are now in bed.
You can now hear words like shit, bloody, arseholes…but all the Fuck related word are the only ones that remain censored. So when Alan Davis says: “She has a bip!” You know what it means ^^
-Another one related to the game itself. When Stephen Fry asks a question, the others have to come up with some responds. They get a point if it’s right, don’t lose anything if it’s wrong and keep guessing. BUT they lose FIVE points if they give an obvious answer. We know it because at that time, the answer appears on the screen with sounds and lights. Very Jean-Michael Jarre ^^
For example, at one point in the show Fry asks who invented champagne and Davis answers The French. At that point, “the French” appears on the screen with all the brouhaha for, of course, champagne was invented by the English despite a 19th century legend made in France.
