Facts The Way I Like It! is back with another quickfire exchange of facts between Gill and Pete and this week they get into the truth behind the myth of night-vision enhancing carrots, why Astronauts have their name, how to buy a dinosaur skeleton and Pete finds another excuse to talk about Italy in the form of where the term "paparazzi" comes from.

Finally, Gill just laughs at how Pete mis-pronounces difficult words.

Gill and Pete take a good long look at Ancient Egypt with a keen hieroglyphic eye focused on the pharaohs and their legacies but they also look at the every day life in an incredibly advanced progressive civilisation for its time. Love and romance and chilled out attitudes were alive and well as was the adoration of cats and other god-like animals.

They also look at the life of Cleopatra, her influence and powerful leadership.

In Love Factually, they look at how the Comedy and Tragedy masks came to be, as well as how the word nice isn't as nice as it seems.

Finally, Pete has a fact about how even though Space moves pretty fast, it still takes a long time to get anywhere in the huge expansive void!
