Gill calls in from abroad (hence lockdown style internet sound and delay!) to teach Pete all about Elizabeth I and they delve into her powers of diplomacy, foreign policy and Fire Boats. They also find out what it's called when you play golf down a busy, London thoroughfare.

Pete tests Gill in his Elizabeth I quiz and they find out that best part of the Tower of London is the bit on the left.
