Hi everyone, welcome to this week's episode of No Such Thing as a fish. Hope you're

all very well. I have a little bit of news here and it is of particular interest to people

in the UK and a particular interest to people who love our mothership of the TV show,

QI. Now you all know QI, it's facts, it's funny, it's just like fish, but it's been going

for a full 20 years and the big news is that all 20 series of QI are now available on BBC

iPlayer. So as you probably know, each series of QI is represented by a letter of the alphabet

and so you can go back and watch facts about astronomy, about bees, about Campanology, about

dark, what you get the idea. It's 20 series of QI, so many facts, so many amazing moments

from over the years and it is all as I said available on BBC iPlayer. And of course it wouldn't

be a top of the show announcement if I didn't remind you all that we are going back on the road

in autumn, if you live in Scotland or in Wales or indeed I think we have one show coming up also

in London, then do go to qi.com slash fish events and get your tickets fast because I know for a fact

that some of those dates are just on the verge of selling out. Anyway, before you go to iPlayer

to binge on all the episodes of QI, we better get on with this week's show, so I'll look at the podcast.

Hello and welcome to another episode of no such thing as a fish, a weekly podcast coming to you

from the QI offices in Covent Garden. My name is Dan Schreiber, I am sitting here with James

Harkin, Anna Toshinsky and Andrew Hunter Murray. And once again we have gathered around the microphones

with our four favorite facts from the last seven days and in no particular order, here we go.

Starting with fact number one, that is Andy. Myfactor is that in 1944 the book The Great Gatsby

sold 120 copies. In 1945 the number of copies printed was 155,000. Wow, I know. Well, I know.

Well, I didn't realise how I was going to deliver it until I got the tours the end and I thought

I've just said 120. Why not say 155 in them, rather? Anyway, great behind the scenes in time. Lovely.
