This series is simplicity itself. I present lots of puzzles to teams led by Kathy Sykes (Rough Science physicist) and Michael Rosen (author and poet and they try to solve them. Some of the puzzles are stinkers, some are trivial, some are scientific, some are literary and the rest are just strange. Guests on this series include Lord Robert Winston, comic Dara O'Briain, crimewriter Minette Walters, historian Bettany Hughes and world land speed record pioneer Richard Noble.

The series is ocassionally repeated at strange times on BBC4, so you might still be able to catch it if you miss the initial time slots.
