I love that! :biggrin:

Does popular music (you know what I mean) only get used in the earlier rounds, with the focus being on classical pieces in the later stages? I'm just wondering, as that's how it appeared to me.

Also, I feel really ignorant - I don't remember the guy on the far left on Manchester's team from any past rounds. :redface:

It's quality. I wanna know how you go about applying for it etc.

I'm hoping Oxford Brookes win it this year. Sherlaw-Johnson comes across as a knob, mind. Bolton - Sheffield is the contestant of the series BY FAR.


I have a friend whose sister was on it at Birmingham. I think. :tongue:

Well, that's my 15 minutes of fame over.

That was brilliant, I wanted Clare College, Cambridge to win because of their comeback; thanks to Janes, and their scientific background.

I liked both teams, but I love Clare College's speed in answering some questions - that was Janes wasn't it? :biggrin:

I LOVED THAT CONTESTANT. Like when he answered 'the thirteen colonies' for some flag, and it actually turned out to be correct, but the researchers said it was wrong. His glare could have destroyed Paxman.

:rofl: Grinyer was a legend. I just wish I could watch some of the earlier episodes from this series, because I can't find any clips of him on YouTube. :frown:
