It's not just any art and literature quiz – this one spans from the dawn of time to 1979's City Of Death! Si Hart (The Library Of Impossible Things) and Lucy McCaul (Benton & Hawthorne Investigate) join Mark for a trip to Paris in 1979. How do the third- or fourth-last of the Jagaroth spend their time? Which 21st-century painters will The Impossible Librarians find in Scaroth's stash? And to be or not to be – is that the question?

The Fifteenth Doctor, the Beatles, and RTD's lyrics are all on the deck this week as we remix 2024's The Devil's Chord into a big Doctor Who music quiz.

A mad quizmaster invites Doctor Who fans to talk about The Wedding Of River Song and then turns it into a gameshow. Mark Donaldson (On The Time Lash) and Lee McMenemy (The Polis Box Live!) are the Doctor's companions as he travels from Lake Silencio in Utah to the top of the Great Pyramid. How will they fare in the history quiz? Do they have the knowledge to win? Or will they have to phone a friend?
