A live recording from Edinburgh Fringe Festival last month when we time traveled back to 2013 with our audience. We teach them history, including a meteor exploding over Chelyabinsk in Russia, a 3-D printer creates the first lab grown ear out of collagen, Pope Benedict XVI resigns, and China launches an uncrewed rocket to the moon. Take part at home in the quiz at the end where an audience member has a chance to win £25,000 by being more of a genius than Bobby and Red. Also Red had a bad gig the night before because of some theatre kids from a show called "Two Fingers Up" and Bobby has been doing some creative promotion of the show with his baby daughter.
