    Ep. 26 - Royal Holloway vs Robert Gordon

    Class is starting to show and the questions fell this week for Brown. Royal Holloway stormed ahead of a reasonably disjointed Robert Gordon. We get into old teams, questions falling for ones own self and who is class. Player of the Match - Brown Granny's Favourite - Harvey Twitter Gong - Cullen's headband Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Ep. 24 - Durham vs Bangor

    A good old fashioned thumping from a lovely spread of a team in Durham. They're nice and all but I have to say this wasn't end of season quality. We're desperate for the next stage. Gongs: Player of the Match - Durham, Radcliffe Granny's Favourite - Durham, Bennett Twitter Generator - Bangor, Silcocks Theme tune by Hardworking Families. Hosted on Acast.

    Ep. 23 - Christ's vs Southampton

    An odd little episode. Something to keep the feed ticking along. Theme tune by @hardworkingfamilies Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Ep. 22 - UCL vs Newcastle

    A rip roaring game where both sides lead at points. UCL (the people's favourite), mothers and sons, Salmons, heroes and the true joy of it brought them in to the finish. There's a smidge of conspiracy here but more classy quizzing. There's potential finalists here. We do not hold any responsibility for the colds we are suffering under. Hosted on Acast.

    Ep. 20 Bristol vs Queen's Belfast

    It was a McLaughlin show this week and that's just the way he likes it. Listening back we were really quite kind to him over all, but so was the scoreboard. We must respect knowledge when we see.

    Ep. 19 Newnham College vs Cardiff

    I can't believe we've had another tie! Nothing short of absolute scenes Rob and Ed are both hooked on all things Newnham now. Somehow they stole the hearts and yet they only won by 5 points. Things are hotting up and people are winning repeat gongs Player of the Math: Newnham, Ellis Granny's Favourite: Newnham, Holloway-Strong Tweet Generator: Newnham, Ellis Hosted on Acast.

    Ep. 18 Robert Gordon vs Courtald

    A return to the new year, to our routines and University Challenge. It's wonderful to be back and healthy again. Robert Gordon split the room - Rob and Ed couldn't agree. But they triumphed all the same God love you Courtald, you don't know how beautiful you all look! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Ep. 14 - Robert Gordon vs Roehampton

    We had debutants in the competition which is the real story of the week. Heroic for Barb (former winner) to have the presence of mind to realise that it was worth having a documentary let into his life just as his University was pitching for the top spot. We had Rob proving yet again that having watched lots of episodes helps you get extra points And a roaring victory for Robert Gordon. Next time it's the second round so we look forward to seeing some familiar faces. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
