Efter en fantastisk förmiddag i Lund med bl a John Lloyd pĂ„ Skype ("Man kan vara rolig utan att vara elak") sĂ„ lĂ€ser jag en lĂ„ng intervju med honom i Intelligent Life. HjĂ€rnan bakom Not the Nine OâClock News, Spitting Image, Blackadder och sist men inte minst QI sammanfattar det ganska bra:

Itâs about money and acquisition...you wonât get anywhere until you realise that itâs this negative side of human nature that needs to be addressed in some radical way and educated out of us right from the beginning. We need to educate parents how to be parents...Weâve got an obsession with fixing things, but itâs fixing us that we need to spend some time on. And thatâs what âQIâ tries to do in its small way: itâs waving this little flag rather futilely in the darkness and saying, âLook, if everybody was interested...
