Last night I watched the final of the current series of University Challenge. I’d seen several of the earlier rounds and I knew that both of the teams in the final were very good. I wasn’t disappointed, it was an excellent contest, and I wasn’t surprised to see it reported in the papers today. Interestingly, however, The Guardian had two reports: this one by Leigh Holmwood and this one by Sam Wollaston. Check them both out. I would be interested in opinions.

Update: Via Christine Burns I find some interesting material on the BBC web site that not only shows Gail Trimble in action, but talks about the perils of being known as a clever woman.
