Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Lucky if you get more than one set of sporting questions if that these days.

I always find it when they totally screw up low-brow culture questions that 99% of the population would get.

:-), it does, it's not low brow, it's niche.

99% isn't a niche, it's a canyon...

Did this weeks last night: 30 (and it should have been a couple more); the previous week I got 26. It's a pity that answering questions in UC is not a marketable skill.

I think though that part of the reason for my high scores was that none of the four teams were much good, therefore they didn't beat me to many answers. In an earlier episode I only answered 19, where the winners scored 265. (I did get 26 in last series's final, though :-).)

It's just a pity that no universities actually let me darken their doorstep ;-).

I'm sure it's easier nowadays - for the masses anyway. Especially as there are more low-brow categories. I certainly score higher than I would back in Bamber's day.
