On this award-winning show Molly Oldfield, the original QI elf, Guardian kids' quiz compiler and writer (of four books), answers questions sent in by children around the world.


This week poetry expert William Sieghart tackles the question 'who wrote the first poem?' and there's a chance to win a copy of William's amazing book, Everyone sang!


We also answer Ellie's question about why Pluto is no longer a planet and we explore - thanks to a question from Denis - why we have curse words.
