QI

. Episode 4, Series E
. Quiz show
. Host- Stephen Fry, panelists - Alan Davies, Bill Bailey, Sean Lock, Rich Hall
. The relationship between Stephen Fry is like a schoolboy and a teacher; the teacher always tries to teach the right thing, but the the schoolboy interrupts him and says obvious things that are not correct.
. The facts about Mount Everest and the first words spoken by explorers were quite interesting, along with the Mannequin bird than could moonwalk.
. The simpleness of Alan's buzzer compared to the others. The very dry comedy of Rich Hall. The banter between Bill Bailey and Sean Lock. The improvised singing that happens between the panelists. Alan Davies setting off the klaxon twice in a row.
. He recounts the entire story of the man who traveled all over the world and became fluent in English
. They are active because they clap along with the panelists when they start singing
. He is the 'genial fall guy' and answers the questions in the way the audience would themselves have answers, making him easy to relate to.
. It fulfills all three of these ideas as it makes us laugh (Entertainment), teaches us about exploration (education) and tells us how to correctly say mount Everest among other things (inform).
. The audience are positioned as powerless because they have no input on the answers to the questions that are asked, so we can assume that they are not omniscient because they are never questioned.
