University Challenge's Eric Monkman and Bobby Seagull will travel up and down the country in search of British’s most remarkable scientific and technological achievements for their first TV series. Monkman and Seagull's Genius Guide to Britain (4x30') is made by Label1, makers of RTS-winning and Bafta-nominated series Hospital. Feeding their insatiable appetite for knowledge, the Cambridge graduates and best friends will drive off the beaten track through England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to find the hidden gems of British ingenuity. From Sir Hiram Maxim’s Captive Flying Machines to the world’s smallest museum in a phone booth, and from the Titanic’s little sister (used to ferry people to the ill-fated passenger liner) to the science of the deep-fried Mars bar, their road trip will showcase an assortment of remarkable inventions whilst giving the duo the opportunity to share their pearls of wisdom along the way.
