A Question of Genius - FINAL

This afternoon sees the final of "A Question of Genius" on BBC 2 at 4:30 pm presented by Kirsty Wark! As the second placed person on the leaderboard I was involved in the episode - but as always, I cannot reveal what happens. I can say, though, that it was another enjoyable experience and you'll just have to wait and see how it goes. And if you miss it, there's always BBC i-Player where you can catch up with this and many other BBC programmes.
