Treasure House of the Seto Inland Sea: Honjima

Honjima is one of the Shiwaku group of islands in the Seto Inland Sea, between Japan's mainland Honshu and Shikoku. It lies off the beaten track, but there's plenty to see there. Although it is a small island with a circumference of only 16 kilometers, Honjima boasts numerous temples, shrines and towns with beautiful traditional architecture. In ancient times, the islanders were skilled navigators who knew their way through the treacherous waters of the Inland Sea. They later turned their nautical skills to maritime trade, gaining them great wealth. Radio DJ Chris Glenn is a history enthusiast. On this edition of "journeys in japan", he explores the history and culture of Honjima and discovers handsome townscapes that have changed little for more than a century.

The Floor

The Floor is a physical quiz show that sees 81 contestants face off in quiz duels on a giant LED floor divided into a 9×9 grid of squares, each representing its own field of knowledge.

The first challenger, selected at random, must choose one of his or her neighboring opponents to go head-to-head in an epic quiz duel in the opponent's category. The winner takes over the loser's square, gaining valuable ground as they expand their territory, while the loser exits the game. The winner must then choose – do they continue on and attempt to secure another square? Or do they let The Floor choose a new challenger? The last contestant standing who gains full control over The Floor takes home a life-changing $250,000 cash prize.
