Love the QI elves works, the Fish Team. However, these questions from the public books have not been their best work. They have answered the questions in an interesting and fun way like you would expect. But some of the questions that have been chosen fir print in this book must be pure filler proper album tracks). I’ve learn some new things, like I always do from QI, but some of the answers are pretty straightforward and I can imagine that the elves didn’t enjoy answering them. They could gave phoned some of the answers in to be honest. I’ve skipped quiet a few.
I did enjoying the little related facts which accompanied most answers. Proper QI one liner facts!
If the elves every read this, I’m sorry. Please know that I still absolutely love the Fish pod cast and all your other work and will still come the live tours! Hope the coming years get brighter so the Book of the Year series will return!
