[YI]

It's that fucking good.

The Royle Family instead of one of the Blackadder's then.

The highest rated non-BBC sitcom was Father Ted at 11. I remember everyone called bullshit that it didn't make it when Vicar of Dibley did.

I'm proper rubbish at thinking of these.

Who outside of Alan Davies and Stephen Fry, has appeared on the most episodes of QI?

[Kaney]

I'd say it's either one of Sean Lock, Rich Hall or Jo Brand. If you FORCE me to pick one, like a complete bastard would, I'd say Sean Lock.

[YI]

Jo Brand is right.

[TGC]

I am bringing this fucker back.

American Psycho was almost a big budgest Hollywood flick. Who was pretty much all cast to star in the movie before it went back to being a low budget indie film?

[EddieG]

Johnny Depp, Leo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Edward Norton and James Woods

[Skummy]

Mind Your Language didn't even make the top 100.

Well, what a fucking crappy list this must be, then.

Amazingly, the list was generally quite slim as far as fucking shit '70s racism goes.

[TGC]

Johnny Depp, Leo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Edward Norton and James Woods

You got it. Which one? Fuck off. You are no longer allowed to answer. Anyone else?

[Ace]

Johnny Depp.

[Josh]

It was DiCaprio I believe.

[Jimmy]

DiCaprio. I asked the same question earlier on. But I think he rejected it in the end because someone suggested it might alienate his female fanbase.

[TGC]

Oh oops at asking same q. But Josh nailed it yes.

In the movie "Dirty Work", Chris Farley's character tries to play "Street Fightin' Man" on a jukebox. He presses the wrong number and gets "The Pina Colada Song" instead. What numbers were each of these songs on the jukebox?

12 hour rule.

In Memento, there's one moment where Leonard has a tattoo not seen at any other point in the film. What does this tattoo read?

[Josh]

Boo-urns to all of you for not attempting an answer. "Street Fightin' Man" was G7 and "The Pina Colada Song" was G8.

It's been 12 hours, but I'll guess and ask one anyway.

Is it the "John G. Murdered My Wife" one. I know it's backwards and it's shown once in the mirror I think. It's been years since I've watched Memento anyway.

Last year, in the musical "Nine", Guido was played by Daniel Day-Lewis. "Nine" was originally a Broadway play. Who played Guido in the original musical?

Man this thread is dyin'! And no, the tattoo you're describing is seen several times, I was looking for a tatoo seen only once. In a dream/fantasy sequence, he has a tattoo that reads "I've done it" over his heart, as he is reunited with his wife.
