Whitewater gate

The answers you've been waiting for...though, I have to say, you're pretty much there. The quiz was the brainchild of this week's Editor-in-chief, Ryan Dilley, who's been demonstrating his sharp Photoshop skills.

1.
2.
3.
4. Notting Hill Gate Gate (spoof scandal from Armando Iannucci's Whitehall comedy The Thick of It. The Minister for Social Affairs, Hugh Abbot weighs up whether to resign over a scandal to do with his ownership of a Notting Hill flat - which the press are dubbing "Flatgate", but which Abbot's secretary feels would better be named "Notting Hill Gate gate".)
5.
6. (Bearing in mind that of this alleged scandal.)

In this week's programme the long-serving journalist, , who spent nearly 40 years reporting from Westminster, will join us to discuss the use of the 'gate' suffix to describe scandals.

And as we ask with - we tell the story of the map that helped rid the UK of cholera.
