    Any takers tonight? Peterhouse Cambridge are still in it- that's the team with Woods who's utterly adorable and that highly entertaining nerd who sits to her right. Really close match tbh, 150-150 with less than 2 mins to go, Woods proves she's got their backs and saves it for Peterhouse.

    Powell! He's brilliant. Worth watching the programme just for him!

    Amen to that, Geoff. I'm currently formulating a theory that bad eyesight and frizzy hair are directly linked to IQ. The hitrate for both of these seems to be about 80% with UC panelists.

    What happened to mr 'ay up' from Castleford? That guy was ace, a little bit of darkest South Yorkshire brought to national TV screens.

    Whenever a highly complex maths question comes up I always answer Pi squared. I'm going to get it right one day!
