For those who don't know this programme, let me explain that this is a very long-running quiz programme on UK TV watched by many and with questions of a 'cultured' variety - many on history, the arts, language, geography, and politics.
The inclusion of questions on Esperanto strongly implies that this is something of which an educated person should have some knowledge.
This taken with the recent use of an Esperanto greeting by a BBC Radio 4 presenter on Esperanto Day, honouring Zamenhof's birthday, suggests that the Zeitgeist for Esperanto may be changing.
