Big Brother has a Task for the housemates. The two most historically knowledgeable housemates must answer ten questions about events, people and facts found throughout the ages.

Should they answer eight out of ten questions correctly, they will pass the test but three incorrect answers and they'll incur their fourth fail and so fail the entire Time Travel task, leaving the housemates with only a basic shopping budget to live on.

When the housemates heard the announcement, Jonty had dashed to join Gerry at the door of the Diary Room.
Amanda had also started to run to the Diary Room.
"Amanda!" laughed Brian, calling her back "you're about to go into the Diary Room for something and you don't know even know what it meant."
"Historical can mean anything," protested Amanda, "like bands." "Come on," said Brian, "that's museum talk.
They want someone to go into the Diary Room who's, like Museum-ish."

Could Brian be thinking back to a previous trivia-testing Task in which he told Big Brother he wasn't sure who William Shakespeare was, though he was confident he wasn't the Hollywood director behind the feature film Babe 2 -- Pig In The City?

Fortunate he didn't volunteer for this Task, then!
