University Challenge

Maudlin with a suitably snotty looking line-up here.

Fitzwilliam-Cambridge Howe has what looks like a mangled supermarket sticker on his head.

I note the time change to 8:30 tonight.

It was a lovely bow. Wonder what he will wear next week.

Nice to see Derry given as the correct answer tonight by a Scotsman without adding unnecessary ephitets

If Ulster had been awake for the first half of the show they could have made it a genuine contest.

150-0 down at one stage but only lost 185-130.

Watching tonight’s episode on delay here.

I see @Bandage is competing for Newcastle under the pseudonym of “Reynard”.

McKeown - St. John’s Cambridge is like a young Amber Rudd.

Last chance saloon for Ulster tonight - cc: @Cicero_Dandi

Bristol have taken out some Oxbridge big guns earlier in the competition so it’s a tough ask.

Game on.

Looking bad for Ulster here. They’re 100 points down on -5.

I’m on 30.

Emmanuel Cambridge have just incorrectly guessed that Led Zeppelin’s Stairway To Heaven was by Oasis.

The kids these days, eh.

That’s the way it’s gone nowadays.

Wiberg wont be stopped.

Just a heads up that the big one takes place tonight.

All television remote controls lead to BBC2 at 8:30pm.

It’s a classic Oxbridge clash as Merton - Oxford take on St. John’s - Cambridge.

Merton captain Leonie Woodland finds herself in a similar position to Donncha Ryan in Bordeaux yesterday, as she bids to ruin the chances of a team from her native city of Cambridge.

FA Cup final match programme-style pen pictures of the contestants here:

We’re all set for the showpiece final.

Couldn’t call this one.

Big_Dan_Campbell · April 23, 2018, 7:34pm

Oxford for me. Wiberg is a rolls royce

Sidney · April 23, 2018, 7:34pm

I’m off to a flyer with Lord Reith.

Big_Dan_Campbell · April 23, 2018, 7:40pm

Merton are the proverbial two man team. Woodland and Wiberg.

Levin looks a bit like yourman Howard from the big bang theory

Big_Dan_Campbell · April 23, 2018, 7:45pm

Real cagey stuff here

Sidney · April 23, 2018, 7:46pm

St. John’s have settled nicely into this.

Wiberg is performing below par so far.

Big_Dan_Campbell · April 23, 2018, 7:47pm

McKeown putting in a big shift

Big_Dan_Campbell · April 23, 2018, 7:49pm

Peplow!!! You clown

Ralphie · April 23, 2018, 7:50pm

St Johns after slow start are slowly crushing Merton.
McKeown having a good outing.
