While I’ve generally found the current
series of University Challenge a little dull, tonight’s show was more fun than
usual.
Perhaps it was just Raii’s inspirational
beard density that got me going, or Roger Tilling’s particularly enthusiastic
voice-overs (though when are they not?). I may have been deeply perplexed by UCL’s
complete incapability to identify a song performed by Kylie Minogue and Nick Cave,
but that’s the way things seem to go on the programme, if one team’s incapacity
to identify a track by the Manic Street Preachers was anything to go by; if a
question’s not about something elitist, the contestants basically have no hope.
See below for this evening’s Twitter
rundown.
