How much does Have I Got News for You pay? An angry MP blurted the answer out on air
Have I Got News for You has been on air since 28 September 1990, and the BBC has never published what Ian Hislop and Paul Merton take home for it.

What happens at the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey? Kubrick himself explained it, in an interview lost for almost 40 years
For half a century, the final 15 minutes of 2001: A Space Odyssey were cinema's most argued-over puzzle. Stanley Kubrick refused to settle it, on the grounds that naming one meaning would kill every other reading. He did settle it, once, in 1980. Nobody heard the recording until 2018.
