Have played on the same team as Mr Smith from the Edinburgh UC team once or twice, and he's an excellent quizzer. Edinburgh have another very strong team entered for the next series. Monkman of Wolfson is great, but I think Balliol might just have a bit too much for them in the final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 A very, very flukey 8/10. Way more than my knowledge deserved (but I'm taking it). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Don't watch UC, but I think that Monkman chap is great. Bit disappointed that show didn't have a chat with the man himself. And on the subject of UC "dumbing down", I've definitely posted this before, but it's my favourite quiz-show clip (and probably Youtube clip) out there.

I've loved every single incarnation, even though they've all had their major flaws. The original was probably the best, but playing on an emulator was a chore - and you don't really appreciate that point-and-click is a relatively new phenomenon! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World Service and Rhod Sharp for a balanced view imo. I'm finding R4 more annoyingly mediocre and bland as I age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSU Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 6/10 -- would've been worse if it hadn't been if I hadn't spent some time a few months ago listening to the Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums Ever Made, one of which was by Stan Getz.
