“Manchester were brilliant weren’t they!”
The university now jointly holds the record for the most wins, with five. Much to delight of the Alumni Society, which had an email ready to send early the next morning.
I thought the team relied a little too much on the captain in the early rounds but all four contestants contributed good answers in the semi final, which I thought was their best performance.
Amol Rajan is OK but his slightly matey attitude with some of the contestants grates a little bit sometimes. Paxman certainly wasn’t like that. And while Bamber Gascoigne was so polite and well mannered, he did stay slightly aloof from the teams.
