    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!

    I can't see that ever coming up but hπr squared has come up before and I got it right.

    That was close! I thought Peterhouse's Woods had given her last mysteriously alluring stare with 2mins to go, but they both got it wrong. The highly entertaining nerd needed a bit of choke to get him going, but soon the hysterically amusing waffle and facial contortions were coming thick and fast; much like his answers. Joking aside, it was a gutsy performance to come back from 40 points down.
