Long-running general knowledge quiz that tests the intellectual powers of the brightest undergraduates in Britain. Launched in 1962 and hosted by Bamber Gascoigne, the show achieved cult status with teams from two different rival colleges pitting their wits against each other each week. The questions are as varied and as tough as they can be, and competitors risk having hard-earned points deducted with each incorrect response. From classical music to modern pop, science to the world of entertainment, the four members of each team need a wide range of specialist knowledge to move on to the eliminator rounds and make the grand final. Amol Rajan succeeds Jeremy Paxman as fearsome quizmaster, who is quick to stop team members conferring, adjudicates and awards or deducts vital marks.
