Bit of a curve ball here - Rory McGrath.
Sometimes funny, often stupidly immature, but furiously knowledgeable.Or Henry Kelly
Always thought he was a bit of a joke, but his years of presenting Goping 4 Gold must have taught him something - saw him in a celeb type quiz some years ago and was amazed at his general knowledge.

As an aside how well do the braniacs on here do on Universally Challenged? I was *forced* to watch Mastermind and play the Genus edition of Trivial Pursuit as a child, which left me mentally scarred and was no fun as I was a CHILD and knew none of the answers!
Now I'm a big boy I like to get my own back my whupping my parents' intellectual butts by challenging them when UC and Only Connect are on.
Mind you they are getting on a bit and their powers of recall aren't as sharp as they were.Posted 5 months ago # -
My best ever was 14 correct answers. There were a few science / physiology / geograph questions though which are my strongest subjects.

Changing my vote to Barry from EastEnders.
He wiped the floor with everyone on Celeb Mastermind and might help the show appeal to a wider demographic.

Hmmm...

Or are her dresses a bit tight and jokes inappropriate?

Vicky Coren would have to run over to Beeb4 afterwards in order to get to Only Connect in time. She'd be all sweaty.

Sue Perkins is a great shout. She'd be perfect for it.
Although they might pick someone with a bit more newsy gravitas.
Please God not Jeremy Vine.
