The Chase

Did anyone notice on yesterday's The Chase, Anne Hegerty hastily changed her answer from Peking to Beijing?

This prevented the two contestants from winning the money.

Although technically the answer was correct to a certain extent, since Peking is now called Beijing, but I was always under the impression that Bradley could only accept the first answer.

Was it not the case that the question referred to something that occurred at the time the capital was Peking?
