The Great History Quiz (1 x 60′) – Hosted by Kirsty Young, this new quiz show gives viewers the chance to pit their wits against some of the country’s most respected historians. Between them, they’ve racked up 16 university degrees, published 18 books and contributed to more than 200 hours of television. They are author and broadcaster Dr Kate Williams; author and Horrible Histories consultant Greg Jenner; and team captain Dr Lucy Worsley, Joint Chief Curator at Royal Palaces.  Challenging them are author and broadcaster Dr Anna Whitelock, architectural historian Dr Jonathan Foyle and their Team Captain the broadcaster Dan Snow.

This special is dedicated to that notorious dynasty the Tudors, who ruled the country from 1485 to 1603 and changed the face of British history forever. Across seven fascinating and challenging rounds The Great History Quiz will bring the kings, queens, courtiers, noblemen and women, sailors and discoverers, heroes and villains, playwrights and poets, rogues and vagabonds who helped shape this extraordinary period back to life.
