Clive Myrie hosts the first semi-final of the enduring quiz show, where contestants face the familiar black chair, illuminated by spotlights and the pressure of a ticking clock, for a chance to advance to the final round. This evening's specialist rounds explore Oscar-winning performances from the 1990s, the biographies and obituaries of celebrated stars, the comedy of *Peep Show*, and the film *The Great Escape*.
