Episodes
Quest for an Heir
It's midsummer at Hampton Court, and before the palace is opened to the public, the team of warders must hustle to unlock many of its rooms. But another tour is taking place behind locked doors as Historic Royal Palaces Chief Curator Tracy Borman hunts down the private chambers of Henry VIII's third wife, Jane Seymour, and finds the luxurious space where she gave birth to Henry's heir, Edward. Meanwhile, out in the stables, things are equally busy for head coachman Ed McDowell as he prepares his team of rare breed Shire horses for the day ahead. See what it takes to keep Hampton Court running today and revisit the tragic marriage of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour.
Death of the Queen
It may be one of the hottest days of the year, but that doesn't keep the swarm of tourists from lining up to visit Britain's popular Hampton Court Palace. As the team of warders opens up some of the building's 1,300 rooms, gardener Graham Dillamore and his team give a "haircut" to the estate's world-famous, 300-year-old hedge maze. And back inside, we explore the creepiest part of Hampton Court--the Haunted Gallery--where people have reported seeing the ghost of Catherine Howard, who was executed after just two years of marriage to Henry VIII. Follow the team at Hampton Court, in the palace, and on the grounds, as they keep the palace running on a hot summer day.

The Big Fat Quiz
The Big Fat Quiz is an annual British television programme broadcast on the last Sunday of the year on Channel 4. Essentially, the show is a comedy panel show in the style of a pub quiz. Three teams, of two celebrities each, are asked questions relating to the events of the year just gone by, which they write answers to on an electronic board in front of them. At the end of each round, they then display their answers, scoring a point for each correct one. The first edition was broadcast in December 2004. There has been another at the end of each year since, as well as a special edition in November 2007 for Channel 4's 25th anniversary celebrations.
