In Qi season 11 episode 6, titled "Joints," host Sandi Toksvig and her panel of contestants delve into a topic that is sure to have viewers cracking up – joints. But not the kind that might first come to mind. This episode delves into the biology of joints, taking a look at the different kinds of joints in the human body and how they work.

Joining Sandi on the panel are regulars Alan Davies and Sarah Millican, along with guest comedians Cariad Lloyd and Rhod Gilbert.

The episode opens with Sandi discussing the history of the word "joint," which has taken on many different meanings throughout the years. From a carpentry term to a slang reference for a marijuana cigarette, it's clear that the word "joint" has a storied past.

From there, the panelists delve into the central topic of the episode – joints in the human body. Sandi shares pictures of various bones and joints for the panel to identify, leading to a discussion of the different kinds of joints and their respective functions. Along the way, the panelists tackle questions like: What is the strongest joint in the body? Which animal has the most joints? And, what is the smallest joint in the human body?

As with all Qi episodes, there are plenty of laughs to be had throughout. Alan Davies' trademark humor shines through as he makes jokes about his own joint issues, while Sarah Millican opens up about a unique talent she has involving her own joints. The guest comedians also get in on the fun, with Cariad Lloyd's quick wit and Rhod Gilbert's dry humor adding to the levity of the episode.

Throughout the episode, the panelists also take part in the various Qi-specific challenges that fans have come to know and love. In one segment, they must identify which joints belong to which animals, while another challenge involves a classic Qi game that involves buzzing in with the correct answer to a question.

As with all Qi episodes, the panelists also touch on tangential topics related to the episode's theme. In this case, the discussion turns to bone density and the different ways that bones can break. There's also a segment where Rhod Gilbert discusses his past as a wrestler and his experience with joint locks.

While the episode is certainly entertaining, it also manages to be informative. Anyone who has ever wondered about the science behind the human body's joints will come away with a better understanding of how they work and what they do. But even if biology isn't your thing, there's still plenty to enjoy in this episode of Qi. With Sandi and her hilarious panelists leading the way, "Joints" is yet another example of what makes this long-running comedy panel show so beloved by fans.
