Reviews

[Owen Watts · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great shame the QI annual series finished the book after this one - as they're a solid and glorious set of things. Full to the brim of quite interesting shit (QIS) and brilliant artwork featuring the likes of Hunt Emerson and Roger Law. Also bizarrely the only QI appearance of Rowan Atkinson in photo form. There's a stupendous amount of variety which is, as I understand it, why they stopped doing them. Must've taken an arm and a leg just herding everyone together.

Favourite fact on this reading: "Polishing the king's iron with my eyebrows" is an 18th century expression for being in prison.

This is the third QI annual and my least favourite of the bunch (first here, second here). It's still fun though, there are just fewer sections that really grab me. My favourite part has to be "Bill Bailey's Air Guitar Masterclass".

The TV series is so much better but there are a few good laughs in here.

The QI "G" Annual.

A fun and typical Annual with a QI twist.
