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 Shriver.
I'm sitting here with Anna Chazinski, James Harkin, and Andy Murray,
and once again we've gathered around the microphones this time with our four favorite Christmas facts
because this is our Christmas Day special.
And so, in no particular order, here we go.
Starting with you, James Harkin.
Okay, my fact this week is that the oldest turkey in the UK is called dinner.
That's great.
And yet so cruel.
How old is he?
She?
It's a he, and he is at least 16 years old.
Okay.
And they know that because for 16 years they haven't eaten it.
Does it get to a point where a bird is too old to eat?
You could eat it, but I think birds tend to be nicer when they're younger.
Right.
Yeah, because usually we eat turkeys when they're about really young, right?
