Another tight contest on TV
as the final of University Challenge pitted Balliol (Oxford) against Wolfson (Cambridge),
teams I had become familiar with over the weeks due to the convenient
scheduling of the programme on BBC2 between the two episodes of Coronation
Street on ITV; Balliol won out but the real fun is in getting a correct answer
yourself (I’m happy with three or four in the half hour) particularly if
neither team know it – score one to me last night as I correctly, and
appropriately, guessed the author attributed with the first use of the word ‘nerd’,
thanks to my long term study, or at least repeated reading to three children, of
the works of the man: Dr Seuss.
