About this listen
A quiz show hosted by Steve Punt (star of BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show and the brains behind Horrible Histories) where a team of three University students take on a team of three of their professors.
Every week, at a different University, it pits a team of three Students against three of their Lecturers. The rounds vary between Specialist Knowledge and General Knowledge, quickfire bell-and-buzzer rounds and ‘Highbrow and Lowbrow’. Which of the students will turn out to be complete trivia-boffins? Will the Lecturers reveal they know more about Beyoncé than Barthes? There’s plenty of scope for embarrassment on both sides...
The universities in the first series are Southampton, Durham, Stirling, Reading, Salford & Middlesex.
The universities in the second series are the University of East Anglia, Swansea, Warwick, Sussex, Queen Mary London and Northampton
The universities in the third series are Edinburgh, Leeds, Leicester, Exeter, Bath Spa and Anglia Ruskin (in Cambridge) and the subjects range from Rocket Science (literally!) to Creative Music Technology. Meanwhile, the questions cover every subject under the sun, including dada & Dylan, The Kardashians & the Ku Klux Klan, gherkins & Gummi Bears and concrete & cogwheels...

Quite entertaining and interesting but. . .
Quite entertaining and interesting. We all make mistakes but, if you must correct a contestant, be sure of your facts. Specifically, know the difference between a meteor and a meteorite.

Really enjoyed this
Steve Punt’s witty, charming and welcoming manner as a host. Sometimes light-hearted but often challenging quiz. A novel concept for a show. Great quality BBC Radio 4 comedy.
