Listen Later

In this week's show we answer three questions from Tasso, Lily and Mia with help from special guest expert Dan Stevens. 


Dan Stevens is an English actor who now lives in America, he shot to fame in Downton Abbey and has since been in The Man Who Invented Christmas, Night at the Museum and Eurovision. 


Dan tells us all about why actors love a stage to perform on as well as why they wear make up and costumes plus we find out about the history of make up including how our cousins, the Neanderthals wore make up 50,000 years ago! 


We find out how many people there are in the world right now and how many there are likely to be in the future as well as how many babies were born today! 


In answering Mia’s question we find out that there aren’t even numbers of boys born as girls and why that is.
