    Proud of my old college's performance in the classical music round tonight (I got 'em all too! )

    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

      A nice team, sorry to see them go.

        Yep. They got the Shostakovich/Haydn/Mozart/Schubert question right too.

        However the failure to spot P.G. Wodehouse was hard to forgive....

          is there a PGW question on every show?
          haven't watched in a while, I quit while I was ahead after getting a sculpture Starter for ten.......

            Blimey - I see why Dermot Murnaghan was sacked from Eggheads!

              ...also slightly embarrassing for the Principal of Edinburgh University. But I suppose he was a good sport...as were they all.

                    Wilko answered a question! About all that can be said for tonight's very annoying show....Samirah A was impressive but annoying gamesmanship, as Paxo said. That hair....marine biologist....and then it came to me. Sea anemone

                      Christmas Day edition: a certain Radio 3 presenter did not seem to answer many questions.

                          Indeed, a decidedly Magdalene performance.

                            Magdalene was never renowned for its academic prowess, usually finishing in the bottom three in the league table of finals results. Looks like they were just upholding a tradition.

                              Yes that will take some living down Terrific performance by St Hilda's.

                              Tonight's pretty dismal - neither team in triple figures. Will Hutton was a partcularly hopeless captain, I wondered if he and Paxo had history.....
