I love how Fry reduces his guests to being the equivalent of children at school. Graham's pleas of innocence are convincingly desperate. Everyone wants Fry's approval.
Fry is wrong for once - everyone already knew who da Vinci was but thanks to QI loads of young and/or Irish folk now know who Rodney Bewes is. Knowledge has thus been imparted, albeit shite knowledge.
I honestly paused at the mention of his name to google him so I could get the joke before the audience... then they drew it out and I felt like an idiot.
@anus419 They were in the first draft, alongside Rodney Bewes. The three of them go back in time together in a couple years, when Graham's show is having ratings trouble.
In real life he is loathed by most actors and is known to be a complete twonk full of self importance, and for years hes toured doing a one man show... thats rodney bewes
If you've never seen the Likely Lads you're not likely to know who he is, and unless Graham's family had one of those enormous aerials required to watch the BBC in the ROI he wouldn't have seen it.
i need to move to the UK... now. immediately.
