CAN I IMPROVE MY MEMORY?, 8PM, CH4

HOW much does Valerie Singleton know about UK grime music? Precious little, it seems, which is fair enough — and that makes it a good topic for her to learn from scratch in this oneoff memory challenge. There’s a clearly humorous element

to making an ex-Blue Peter presenter learn about the music of Dizzee Rascal, Stormzy et al, but this is about education, too — the techniques used are handy for everyone. Also broadening the horizons of their knowledge are Joey Essex (learning about William the Conqueror) and Gok Wan (the periodic table), while Michael Buerk (pictured near right with Essex, Singleton and Wan) is the host.
