Comedians pit their wits against scientists in a Great Big Science Quiz.

Psychologist Richard Wiseman hosts the Great Big Science Quiz, a battle of wits between comedians and scientists, recorded at the Edinburgh International Science Festival.

Everyone loves a good quiz, particularly when the smartest person is on your team. So what happens when the teams are not only smart but funny too? Welcome to The Great Big Science Quiz, recorded at the Edinburgh International Science Festival.

Psychologist Richard Wiseman tests the wit and wisdom of stand-up mathematician Matt Parker, TV presenter and geomorphologist Hermione Cockburn, comedian Susan Morrison and ex-call girl and forensic scientist Brooke Magnanti (aka Belle de Jour). Time to get your geek on!
