How did I miss this?? Is there a topic on this already?
Someone just told me a Dutch version of QI is starting on 27 December, hosted by author Arthur Japin, with one regular panellist in the form of comedian Thomas van Luyn.
I'm just baffled that I didn't know this... And I'm not sure if I like it... Until now, hardly anyone here knows QI (except the people I've annoyed with my general ignorance knowledge, which is... well, most everyone I know), and now everyone will know! I just hope they'll watch the BBC version as well, because the Dutch version can't possibly be as good.
The show has found the right place though, as it is broadcast by the VARA, a broadcasting association that does a lot of comedy. Also, they apparently actually only work with comedians, not just the random people they can get.

I've found this blog post about it. It's in Dutch, a language that I don't speak but can more or less read the sense of.
Perhaps one of our Dutch speaking contingent could give us a fuller idea than I can of what it says ... |

| Quote: | | BBC-programma the QI have been of the most vreugdvolle mouth calibrating dignities since the invention of the naked Ms. In the first place I thus considerable enthusiastic then I had been suffered five minutes - keeps turning simultaneously with the 108 millions remaining to the intellectual bovenlaag of the Dutch population belonging kijkers of the world - learned that there a Dutch alternative of QI comes (hoera!). To I a fractie later understood that will present the programme to Arthur Japin (hoewáááát?!). The original programme is presented them Fry, which occurs below - especially for your - just as how I look forward to this way by the bank taken there and sat already QI-kijkend:...... |
There was more but I and the Dutch language had suffered enough.

Calling all Elves and Wranglers.
If you can get Stephen to say that, I'll go on the show and let the viewers decide which of the two they prefer ...
Fingers crossed ... |
