njsykora posted:Which is basically an office building with some set dressing funded by a Kickstarter campaign, the games are a mix of old games from the series and new games though most of the games played on the special were old. It was never supposed to be a TV set but for a one-off special/pilot it did the job. It did! They must have made the dome really easy though since usually people got maybe 80 gold tickets and then at least as many silvers. 300 or whatever they got is the most I've ever seen.

The Big Taff Man posted:Ive got a story about my friend bumping into Andi Peters. My sister swung around too quickly once at the NEC and her elbow flew into Andi Peter's ribs, winding him. It was very good. It was the first celebrity I'd encountered, I think. It went well, really. We could've kidnapped him.

My friend was in a queue at the airport and thought they saw Peters further down the queue ahead of them. She turned round to her sister and said "I think thats Andi Peters", and Peters turned round and said "YES ITS ME" with a little flourish and then walked off quickly

I've never seen Andi Peters in real life but he did send me a signed picture and a T-Shirt when I won a CBBC competition in the mid-90s for answering an extremely challenging question about Animals of Farthing Wood (where are they trying to get to? [White Deer Park])

WeAreTheRomans posted:how did he walk off quickly when he was in the queue? your story's falling apart Taff He got out of the queue and walked off. I believe it was in a starbucks in an airport in the US, maybe he heard a boarding call, maybe he was frustrated at being spotted and wanted to get out of there quickly. Who knows how the mind of Andi Peters works

I think the dome at the public experience is smaller than the original, might make it easier. Plus it was a charity special, so they likely wanted to give the celebs as much chance to win as possible.

A boozy chat with QI elf Stevyn Colgan set my mind at rest about Sandi. He says they all can't imagine a time when Stephen hosted the show, which is incredible.

Yeah, I'm cautiously optimistic about Sandi hosting QI. Seems like the ideal use of her.

I was once in a lift with Terry Gilliham. I also work in Soho so see TV folk a fair bit. I have walked past: Andy Serkis Mark Kermode Josh Widdicombe (twice) Alex Brooker Alistair McGowen Lucy Porter Sara Pascoe The Actor Kevin Eldon I have also been in a pub with David Cross. And yes I want to see Sandi host QI, she has a teacher quality like Stephen, has the same capacity for humorous exasperation, but will also be a bit different. The gay and posh jokes get replaced with lesbian and posh and Danish jokes.

I've never met any famous TV people. I met David James in a strip club though. He's not as tall as you'd think.

I do shows during the fringe, work at a university and also am involved in organised skepticism so I've been pretty lucky with celeb spots. A few became mates. Weird really, the things you get into.

I sat next to Jeremy Beadle on a plane to Ibiza when I was nine. He made me move out of the window seat because he wanted it. He didn't speak to me much and seemed kind of grumpy, but that might have been because I was staring at his weird little hand a fair bit.
