	Game show
		A game show is a radio or television programme involving members of the public or celebrities, sometimes as part of a team, playing a game, perhaps involving answering quiz questions, for points or prizes.
		Quiz shows usually involves members of the public, but sometimes special shows are aired in which celebrities take part and the prizes are given to charity.
		A panel game usually involves a celebrity panel answering questions about a specialist field such as sport or music and is often played for laughs as much as points.

		It was revived barely a year later, with a new chairman, new teams, and a new format of six teams playing four matches, leading to an overall winner.
		Some suggest that questions in the Nick Clarke era are less difficult than the past; others maintain that RBQ has always adapted with the times, and that the questions are already quite hard enough as it is. What has certainly changed lately is the transparency of when the questions are given to the contestants.

	Whispers of War – The British World War II rumour campaign by Lee Richards
		Psychological warfare had an important role to play in exaggerating Britain’s defence capabilities and to persuade the German invading force that they were undertaking an impossible and perilous task which would only result in their annihilation.
		The essence of the rumour was that Britain had a secret weapon which could set the sea on fire, engulfing enemy invading barges on their cross Channel trip.
		Both in France and in Britain a new self-generating rumour formed telling how the Germans had launched an abortive invasion attempt repelled by Britain setting the English Channel on fire; a rumour that is still believed by some to this very day.
