Shockingly it works in Canada. I would be so happy if being a Dominion got us access to the BBC online services in general though.

BBC shows are a funny thing for overseas watchers. I once tried to find Region 1 QI and Peep Show DVDs, and evidently they just don't exist. But I'm also not allowed to watch it online legit, so :filez: it is I guess.

I looked for a way to pay for QI too and could find nada.

Also iirc they only blocked the most recent series of QI so if you aren't caught up there's tons you can watch on YouTube for free.

I kind of found the opposite to be true. I started watching from the beginning a few years ago and got through the first few seasons before taking a break for a while. When I tried to start watching again I found them all region-blocked except for the most recent ones, which I assume the BBC or whoever hadn't gotten around to doing that yet.

It's more or less impossible to get it in North America because of licensing issues- apparently they would need to re aquire rights for nearly every single one of those clips shown on the back screens. It's a legal and financial nightmare so we're stuck with either importing or YouTube.

QI is the only acceptable way to laugh at gay jokes and not look like a bigot for your more liberal friends. Basically, Stephen Fry is everyone's one gay friend.

The best thing about QI is how different the actual tone of the show is to the initial impression it gives. On the first glance it's got Stephen Fry, british accents, a relatively posh studio, and the goal to be "Quite Interesting", so you might be led to believe it would be a relatively sophisticated programme.

Then you actually watch it and it's basically half an hour of nonstop dick jokes.

Well, someone said "you forgot the klaxon sound" and someone else said "try opening the gif in an mp3 player," so my working guess would be that PROBABLY if you open the gif in an mp3 player, it plays the klaxon sound. just guessin'

More like 80% dick jokes 20% half-remembered maybe-facts that the researchers will totally for reals put corrections for on the website, which definitely everyone who watches it will see.

They do corrections on the show. I think episode K Knowledge talked about how a given percentage of "facts" will not be factual after x number of years.
