We can but hope. I get a question on blues singers deeply embarassingly wrong at one point, as many of you will no doubt see... (I knew what I answered was wrong as soon as I said it, and then the answer came to me immediately. It's the way of these things.) I also get three questions on limestone wrong.[1] As to when it will be on, I don't know myself; there'll be a first-round match on some time between September and December, between Jesus College, Cambridge, and Oriel College, Oxford. I'll post the actual time of broadcast when I know what it is. (I'm only representing my college, not the whole university - Cambridge and Oxford colleges enter independently, rather than as a university, for historical reasons...) > apologies to 'University Challenge' challenged > US listers Likewise; but if I get my CDR working, I have a TV capture card, so I might be able to supply dubiously legal[1] VCDs... ("University Challenge" is the British derivative of the American "College Bowl" programme, though it's outlived it substantially. It's about the second-hardest quiz show on British mainstream TV, and is on BBC2 in primetime: gets an audience of a few million. The format is a standard buzzer quiz, two teams of four students: everyone can buzz in on starter questions, and if you get the starter, you're asked three further questions (on which the team can confer) for five points each. The side with more points at the end win. It's a very simple format - no gimmicks, apart from a couple of picture questions and a music question.) http://www.ukgameshows.com/atoz/programmes/u/university_challenge/ is a good synopsis. - - Andrew, who has lost all of his rock'n'roll cred in one fell swoop [1] "Andrew Walkingshaw, BA MSci (Geological Sciences) (Hons) (Cantab.) ..."
