QI Annual 2009 - Couverture rigide

John Lloyd is the founder of QI and the producer of some of Britain's best-loved TV shows. He is of the same opinion as Plato: unmitigated seriousness has no place in human affairs. On the other hand, he also likes A. N. Whitehead's assertion that it's more important for something to be interesting than true (although it s more likely to be interesting if it is true).

John Mitchinson is Director of Research for QI. He can regularly be heard muttering Niels Bohr's line about paradox being a sign of progress. He also shares the dilemma of Dr Johnson's friend Oliver Johnson: he tries hard to be a philosopher but cheerfulness keeps breaking in.

A festive funbag of F stuff, featuring Fantasy Football with Alan Davies, Food Foraging the Sean Lock way, Jimmy Carr's Famous Fannies, Romantic Ronni Ancona and Rob Brydon's Foto-Feature, Fags of the World (as used by Jo Brand), Fry's Forebrain forensically filleted by Phill Jupitus and a 'How-to-Use Furniture' masterclass with Rowan Atkinson. Plus a farrago of fruit, fish, frogs, fountains, feet, fragrance, fingers, fallacies, fairy tales, Frankenstein ... You get the idea!
