That £10K in yer hip pocket is all well and good but University Challenge seems to have become the TOWIE of the chattering classes:

Radio 4, on Saturdy, did a profile of Eric Monkman, captain of the Wolfson College, Cambridge team: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08ks464

And The Mail had an article on a girl on the Edinburgh Uni team who knew about tampons: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-4378118/University-Challenge-male-team-bemused-tampon-question.html

Uni Challenge is the one quiz show I never miss. 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.

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.

First two wrong, Fluked the Aussie sport then stormed to eight. Pot luck was indeed pot luck, and the capital came to me from the African scenario in railroad tycoon three!

 

 

Wait? What now? I'm guessing this is an old Railroad Tycoon? 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!

Precisely. You don't have to be a dedicated quizzer or gamer to have a casual acquaintance with recent World affairs.

I thought, "Some of us just listen to Radio 4" was just too snide...perhaps not.

World Service and Rhod Sharp for a balanced view imo. I'm finding R4 more annoyingly mediocre and bland as I age.

Yip. Guess-bombed my way to victory. Here's the awkward moment where the presenter went for a hug and I went for the double high five.

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. Also, guessing.
