They say the show ain’t over
until the fat lady sings, but in the case of this series of University
Challenge, it ain’t over until another team winds up facing the wrath of
Wolfson Cambridge, AKA Team Monkman.
It’s well known how much
humour the man can inject into such a potentially dry and joyless show; every
small utterance is delivered with comedic gusto, except you know that no
writing was involved. He’s an natural in his unnaturalness and a human
antidepressant; I laughed nearly every time he spoke.
See below for my mostly
Monk-themed tweets; there’ll only be more to follow when he returns next week.
