Help with finding QI in Lithuania

Good evening everyone!

I live in Lithuania and would love to watch QI. Since I am not in the UK, I can't use BBC iPlayer or any related services. Any advice?

Mass pink leaflet air campaign in London - 1970's

I can't find anything on old news websites or Google etc. I'm sure this happened though, but can't remember the details;.

In (north and west) London in the 1970's or early 1980's, a huge number of pink leaflets as part of some campaign were dropped from an unauthorised aircraft (certainly in the part where Wembley is). Literally thousands of them, and they lay on the ground for days afterwards, before eventually being gathered up into huge piles.

It was widely reported at the time, but the only clue I can give is that it coincided with Aston Villa playing at Wembley (their fans in London for the game saw the leaflets in huge piles still lying on the ground near the stadium). So that would either be;

February 1971 (League Cup final against Spurs).

March 1975 (League Cup final against Norwich).

March 1977 (League Cup final against Everton).

August 1981 (Charity Shield against Spurs).

(Am leaning towards one of those middle 2 games as to when it happened - so Norwich or Everton fans might remember it too).

What was the campaign about? I've forgotten. (I don't think it was gay rights despite the pink leaflets but I might be wrong).

Question about a question on the quiz

Hello all, I need a bit of help. I've recently told a friend about a fact from QI where someone did a study about the best way to wipe after pooping, and I can't find the episode where they discuss this. Can someone please help, either with the particular episode in question, or by giving me the piece of trivia they had mentioned on the quiz? My friend and I would be much grateful! :)

Stephen and the royals

Don't know if this episode exists or If smoking crack but I remember an episode where everyone was saying the royals must be pricks and they ask stephen which one is an asshole and stephen let's out a Freudian slip on which member of the family he doesn't like? Did this happen or am I imagining things??

how to watch qi as a non-british viewer

as someone who had to search quite a while for the answer, i hope i can help anyone that’s had the same difficulties.

the best option is to use a website called dailymotion. i recommend downloading ‘undetectable adblocker’ (first option, red shield with a white x on it) on google chrome as an extension, or the site is basically unusable because of the ads.

search up the series name and you can find videos from the user ‘deaddogsmoking’ of the full episodes from all seasons!

What is a moment from the show that will forever live on in your brain?

"Why does Edward Woodward have four Ds in his name?"

"Because if you took them out it would be Ewar Woowar"

I must have last seen this episode over 10 years ago (maybe 15) and this bit has tenaciously hung around in the recesses of my brain, just to pop up when I least expect it.

Me: putting my son to bed.

My brain: "Ewar Woowar"

It's probably been asked before, in series Q, episode 7, there're people sitting forward from the main audience. Was there a significance, to this? I know from experience that the Beeb give out more tickets than spaces. I'm just wondering in QI wanted everyone to see the show, who turned up.

Best QI episodes for kids

Hi all!

Looking for recommendations for some funny episodes for young kids (ages 7-13). Ideally nothing inappropriate (playing it at a school)/ not too much inuendo. They'd probably love a couple fart jokes...

I’m trying to find a section from a QI episode but the internet doesn’t show anything

I watched it once, when Stephen fry was still hosting and they discussed what was essentially convergent evolution, asking the guests to guess what animal they were showing (they looked like a hedgehog and a mole etc), to which he explained that these animals were actually native to Madagascar and evolved to look identical but had no genetic relationship with the species in the uk and the rest of the world. Google has no answers and I saw it years ago but if someone knows what I’m on about please help point me in the right direction x
