I don't get to watch it as often as i'd like ( though last week i had the unprecedented 'get in!' factor of getting both starter for ten and all three bonus questions!) but the scientific question quotient i thought had been noticeably 'upped' in that particular episode - always a bit of a bugger they are.

I went to see a recording of University Challenge at the Granada studios when they did 'The Professions' series - good day out if you can be bothered.

I think as a basic you need

British Prime Ministers

The metal table thingy

Primary numbers

At least one team member witn Aspergers

At least one team member with autism

And a knowledge of flags of the world

I haven't seen it since Bamber was there, but I did think there was an inordinate amount of mythology questions in those days.

 

[Withnail]

Paxo = Anti-Bamber

In a thoroughly good way

 

[John Marwood]

He does enjoy a nice lady member doth Jeremy..

 

[Withnail]

And a knowledge of flags of the world

A knowledge of Countries of the World is all too often a depressingly telling failure...

Shurely it's important to at least know where we are destroying lives...?

 

[John Marwood]

Kyrgyzstan and South Sudan


Sounds like an Ian Dury lyric

 

[United57]

Highest primary number before a thousand. Everyone know that is 997.
