by BradelyghI do love this show, however it is incredibly bias towards English literature, classics and history etc. There are so few questions on mathematics, modern day physics and other sciences etc

There are more arts questions than science questions, but this is presumably due to the relative accessibility of arts / science knowledge -- anybody can read some Dickens and learn who the characters are and what the plot is, but you won't be able to answer a set of bonuses on Fourier transforms without at least some level of mathematical instruction.

I know, I really thought they were going to pull it off.
I loved how they were answering the questions without Paxman finishing them off, the crowd cheering and the grins on everyone's face
Which teams are left in the competition now?

"...a website where two strangers are connected by webcams is-"
"CHAT ROULETTE"
"Correct...we'll go no further with that..."
(I paraphrased, but the actual conversation made me laugh).
