QI, Series One [A]
Stephen Fry:
How many planets are there in the solar system?
Alan Davies:
Nine.
[The klaxon goes off.]
Stephen Fry:
Oh, sorry. Not again. [He holds up the ‘nine’ card.] Nine. Not the right answer, another forfeit of 10, I’m afraid. I’m afraid the answer is actually eight.
Alan Davies:
I’m gonna write them down. You carry on.
Stephen Fry:
Alright. Okay.
Alan Davies:
Mars.
Stephen Fry:
Yes, Mars is one.
Alan Davies:
Pluto.
Stephen Fry:
No.
[Alan stops writing and looks up at Stephen.]
Rich Hall:
Here we go again.
Alan Davies:
Pluto is a planet! It was discovered in the 1930s. It was the most recent planet to be discovered.
Stephen Fry:
It was discovered by Clive Tombaugh in 1930 exactly, yes.
Bill Bailey:
It’s a collection of gasses, it’s not actually...
Stephen Fry:
It’s not a planet. By no criterion by which planets are judged could Pluto be said...
Alan Davies:
It’s really, really big and it goes around the sun!
Stephen Fry:
Yes, but it’s not really that big at all. It’s tiny.
Alan Davies:
Well, that’s why it took so long to find! Don’t be hard on it cos it’s small!
