0:16:21 > 0:16:24As a performer, teacher, composer and leader of a Paris salon,
0:16:24 > 0:16:28she was an important influence on many now better-known composers.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Firstly, for five, can you give me the composer of this work?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Viardot gave its premiere in 1870.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41OPERA MUSIC PLAYS
0:16:46 > 0:16:49It sounds a bit like Wagner, if you ask me, but...
0:16:49 > 0:16:50What's the name of the work?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52I do not know.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- The name of the work? - Is it the opera or just...?
0:16:55 > 0:16:57- What were we asked for? - The composer.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Just the composer.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Is it Wagner?

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Oh, yeah, true, so it can't be that.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- Does anyone have any thoughts? - No, sorry.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18Sarah Waters... Is she not...?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20She wrote Instance Of The Fingerpost, I think,
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- but I don't think it's that. - Sarah Waters?- I don't know.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Pass.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41Your bonuses are on Chaim Weizmann,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44the first president of Israel and a noted chemist.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48Weizmann was born in the Russian Empire in 1874,
0:19:48 > 0:19:50not far from the city of Pinsk.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53In what present-day country is Pinsk?
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Do you have any idea?
0:19:55 > 0:19:56I THINK it's in Belarus.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58We'll just try that. Belarus.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- Correct.- Well done.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02In 1915 in Manchester, Weizmann developed a process
0:20:02 > 0:20:08known as ABE fermentation for use in the manufacture of munitions.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12For what common solvent does the letter A stand in this case?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14- Yeah, that's an idea.- Yeah.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Alcohol.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- No, it's acetone. - Oh.- Sorry.- Don't worry.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21And, finally, a shortage of grain for acetone production
0:20:21 > 0:20:24led to an exploration of other sources.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27This included organised collections, for example, by Boy Scouts,
0:20:27 > 0:20:31of what nut-like seeds, which are inedible, usually, to humans?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Could it be beech nuts?

0:20:38 > 0:20:39Beech nuts.

0:21:42 > 0:21:46are estimated by radiocarbon dating to be how old?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48You can have 2,000 years either way.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- Not the faintest idea. Sorry. - I wouldn't know where to start.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54Maybe 40,000?
0:21:54 > 0:21:5640,000. Is that what we're saying?
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- 40,000.- No, it's 17,000.- OK.

0:22:14 > 0:22:15Is it Moliere?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18No, it's not. It's Jonathan Swift.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21So we'll take the picture bonuses in a moment or two.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Ten points at stake for this.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Who was proclaimed King of England during his return journey

0:23:21 > 0:23:26- Did he do speculative fiction? - I don't know. Just...- Not sure.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Truman Capote?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Truman Capote?! No. SCATTERED LAUGHTER
0:23:30 > 0:23:31It's Edgar Rice Burroughs,
0:23:31 > 0:23:34who wrote a series of novels centring on a Martian adventurer.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35And, finally...
0:23:37 > 0:23:39That looks like Kafka, doesn't it?
0:23:39 > 0:23:40But it's not...
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- Shall we say Kafka?- No. - It's not Kafka.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44Who is it, then?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Kafka.
0:23:49 > 0:23:50Doesn't look at all like him.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- No, it's HG Wells.- Oh.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Of course, Mars was the source of the invasion
0:23:55 > 0:23:56in The War Of The Worlds.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37- Do we have any idea? - I can't remember.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Potsdam.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40No, it's Leipzig.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59of post-war Germany.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Give the surnames of both the other two.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04I'm not much help here, I'm afraid.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08Helmut Kohl was one.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Helmut Kohl and...
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- Schmidt?- And Kohl.- OK.
