Yes he is very good. The questions since the quarters have been very tricky too.

UC has been of the highest standard this year, with some very good teams and quirky characters.

I forget the name of the team which lost on Monday, but i kept thinking that their captain, Bobby Seagull would have been good in The Apprentice.

The losing team was my old college, Emmanuel, so I'm one of the few to be disappointed that Monkman (and Wolfson) made it through to the final.

Step aside Monkman, nirvana & Chompy - UC has a new star.

Anyone see this guy overwhelm Monday's Show? Correctly answered 13 starter questions.

Golfinos was incred. A mix of super pleased with himself and nerd under pressure. Lovely scenes.

For the record, I'm 0-4 down this series. Must be in sharp decline here given the standard of opposition.

You'll love this documentary Tikay


Starts with the history of quizzes on the beeb and ends with the rise of the 'professional quizzer' which has shades of poker.

Ha, thanks Barry, I've already got it on "tape", but good nudge, I'll watch it again.

In the opening sequence, did you see the little segment from Michael Miles's "Take Your Pick" where they did the "Yes-No Interlude"?
