Leeds
Three groups of friends from different primary schools visit the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds at night. With no adults around, they are free to go on their own journeys of discovery. The museum contains artefacts from a thousand years of warfare, including armour from the age of Henry VIII, the largest suit of elephant armour in the world, and machine guns from the First World War. It also features exciting live combat displays.
What objects will spark their imaginations? Will they be inspired? Bored? Amazed – or confused? And although the kids are on their own, they are being watched – by the museums' curators. They provide a light-hearted commentary throughout each programme. What do the kids like? What do they find boring? Do the objects in the museum mean anything to them? How do they imagine the past? All these questions are answered during the programmes – often in funny or unexpected ways.
Can museums and the historical objects they contain inspire kids brought up in an age of tech. Are they still relevant in the 21st Century?

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the #1 show in late-night. Featuring bandleader Jon Batiste with his band Stay Human, the Emmy Award-nominated show broadcasts from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. He talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology, and more. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer, and writer of The Late Show on Sept. 8, 2015.
Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and lest known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Before joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed The Colbert Report, which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one-third of the time. Good luck, Bill!
