Synopsis

Four more contestants approach the iconic chair, bathed in the spotlight and the pressure of the ticking clock, ready to face questions spanning their areas of expertise and broader knowledge. Tonight, John Humphrys poses inquiries on a diverse range of topics: the Gospel of Matthew, the novel *Wicked* and its musical adaptation, the works of Johannes Brahms, and the history of Ireland during the turbulent decades of the 1920s and 1930s.
