Dax is enthusiastic about Widow's Bay — 'can't recommend it enough' — noting a standout performance from Nancy Lenihan (previously in Bless This Mess) as a museum guide who describes witch-burning as 'a great source of pride.' The show features Matthew Rhys, a past Armchair Expert guest. Monica and Dax then attempt — with mixed technical success — to play a Zarna Garg comedy video on the studio TV. In the clip, comedian Zarna Garg interviews Malala Yousafzai in her 'almost therapist' character, dismissing Malala's experience of being shot by the Taliban and only making it to Oxford as evidence that 'you complain a lot.' The accent and delivery are judged very pleasing.
From 2026, the minimum weight limit for an F1 car plus driver combination (excluding fuel) is 768 kilograms — down 32 kg from the 800 kg minimum in 2025.
Formula 1 cars carry a maximum of 110 kilograms of fuel per race, sufficient to cover approximately 300 kilometres without mid-race refuelling.
