For owls that are superb.

Mainly just curious to see how many non-US people we have. I know some languages have more than one word for owl.

Where are you from, and how do you say owl where you are from, and what sound do they make?

Yeah ~~we~~ our owls say "twit too woo".

Vic Reeves - "I was talking to an owl friend of mine recently, and he told me he just got married. I said, YOU TWIT TO WHO?!"

I couldn't find a video of the joke, but I did see Vic Reeves was offered with Bob Mortimer. I felt like it was a joke I would have heard in Taskmaster!

It seems the Tawny Owl is the source of the sound.

Same, binged it all this year. My girlfriend watches Big Fat Quiz Show, so she was familiar with a few contests, but I think almost all where new to me. It was a great way to get excited to modern British comedy. I also liked it didn't feel staged with like an American show would be. The interactions felt very natural between the hosts and contestants. I wholeheartedly recommend the show to anyone.
