The current series of University Challenge continued last night with two cities competing who I have vested interests in. Belfast is a city I have visited on several occasions and always found it to be friendly and welcoming, but my support was for the local side Newcastle and didn't they do well?
Form the off it was clear Newcastle had the edge and once they started to build a lead there was no stopping them. 235-80 is a very impressive score and we are seeing some strong teams this year. Newcastle have a really strong team, the captain (Helena Turner) was very decisive and took the lead in answering questions without time consuming conference if she knew it. Ben Dunbar also deserves credit for a stellar performance.
And what more can you ask for than a round on Eurovision! How dare Paxman insult the holy grail.......:)
