Here's a question from this week's Brain of Britain along with the wrong answers all the contestants gave, and a bonus mathematical question.
Transcript
David Hopkins: Émile Zola?Russell Davies (presenter): It was Émile Zola, yes. The British TV series Doctor Who began on the 23rd of November 1963 with an opening episode whose title was "An Unearthly" what?
David Hopkins: Adventure?
Davies: No... Sue Brooks?
Sue Brooks: Awakening?
Davies: No. Plenty of chances for a guess here. No? An Unearthly... Elizabeth Mowbray?
Elizabeth Mowbray: World? (I think this is what she said?)
Davies: No. Graham McNeilly?
Graham McNeilly: Dalek?
Davies: No. (He chuckles, so does the audience.) Ha ha ha it would be, wouldn't it? No, "Child"! An Unearthly Child The whole thing was repeated the following week as its launch had been somewhat overshadowed by the assassination of JFK the previous day. Graham McNeilly, in mathematics, what's the particular characteristic of the sequence of numbers known as a Fibonacci Sequence?
Graham McNeilly: Um the, each number is a sum of the previous two numbers.
Davies: That's precisely right, that's a very good explanation. So it goes 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 and so on.
