Harsh but fair.
You do understand that it can't be both inequitable and equitable at the same time, right?

![]() It was quite clearly a group of islands in the Pacific west of Australia and New Zealand so I wonder if the teams were seeing a different picture on their monitors ? |

I've enjoyed this Christmas tournament and wish they could do a longer series with celebrated ex alumni. I was torn over which team to cheer on tonight but on balance I was glad to see the all female St Hildas triumph.
Not entirely sure what if anything Caldicott contributed, but a good team effort from the others. And knowing how dark and angry Steve Bell's work can be, I was pleasantly surprised by his cuddly sweater and cheery demeanour. |

I also think the BBC could have stumped up some sort of trophy for the winners. I mean, even on that trivial programme Celebrity Mastermind, the winner of every episode gets a trophy. |

Whenever British artist is mentioned it's worth saying Turner for the answer. I don't know how prolific he really was (Yes, I've seen the film and been to the Tate Gallery) but he always seems to feature in quiz shows.

I will have to re watch as I have a query, unless someone on here can help.
I half heard a question about gritty realistic drama back in the day. The answer was given as Kitchen Sink and JP said he couldn't accept it. The answer should have been Kitchen. I'm baffled as drama such as Look Back in Anger, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, etc. was always known as Kitchen Sink. |

I think the problem was the question was what was the key word. There were three references and the second was to a style of government and was Kitchen cabinet and the third was a type of drama and was kitchen sink. So kitchen was the key, not kitchen sink.

The ratings and shares have been impressive, whether or not that's because quiz programmes are ideal Christmas fare, but agree that more alumni editions could do well for the channel at weekends.

I can't imagine that the poor souls who probably take all year just to get the teams together would be wild about having their workload increased. Once a year is just perfect. Let's not ruin it.

Alice Clarke has the perfect example of a resting bitch face.

Blimey, this is a long series, Bristol appeared in the first round in July, can't say I noticed any sexual chemistry tonight, though.
http://metro.co.uk/2016/07/12/univer...tants-6002824/ I hope Bristol win the tournament, it would be their first time. |

And the next stop is...*Bristol deliberating*
Paxo was really impatient with them and I thought he was about to DQ them for wasting time. Bristol were a good team as everyone contributed but hey they needed to be QUICK. BTW Miss Clarke looked so attractive when she scowled, but it wouldn't hurt if she tried to smile more ![]() Poor Oriel. They never had the chance. --- I stumbled upon this when I read an article about the Bristol team this year - in case you still didn't know (it was about a contestant of 15-16) : http://metro.co.uk/2016/05/27/univer...-rape-5908596/ wowzer.
