Oct. 22nd, 2009 10:59 pmABC1 has started showing Series F of QI, the panel game of unexpected answers to apparently-obvious questions. It's running on Tuesday evenings, with episodes remaining available on iView for a fortnight thereafter.
This week's episode included a round on the meanings of nautical signal flags, with the panellists, it being that kind of game, going for laughs by extracting double entendres and suggesting non-nautical situations where each signal might be useful. Which took an unexpected turn on the last flag of the round: the Foxtrot flag, which signifies, and I quote, "I am disabled; communicate with me."
