Monkman And Seagull's Polymathic Adventure
In the last series of University Challenge, Eric Monkman and Bobby Seagull became celebrities as entertaining team captains. But is there any useful purpose to knowing a lot?
Both Eric and Bobby are curious about many subjects, but feel intense pressure to specialize. In this programme they ask whether it’s possible to be a useful polymath. Along the way, they meet fellow polymath, Stephen Fry, and find out: who was The Last Man Who Knew Everything?
