Right after University Challenge, on BBC4.

Not as much fun as the former but the host is a little easier on the eye (Paxer will forgive me I’m sure).

You can play along online during the wall section. 🙂

Pfffh been a secret pleasure of mine for a couple of years at least

And the lovely VC has been a guilty pleasure for a while now, only reinforced by a chance meeting at a poker tournament, lovely and ever so pleasant in the flesh to boot…

Missed it tonight. I find most of it rather difficult apart from the last round which I find quite easy. Must say something about me I suppose.

I hasten to add that I’m rubbish at the rest of it, and assume it’s one of those “much harder to do in TV studio than lounge” situations.

EDIT: Not just me then.
