Luckily after UC I can switch over to Eurosport for some top quality TV professionals commentating skinny blokes cycling around the gorgeous Pyrenees, so the screen is safe for now

Paltry. Only connect, I lost count of stuff I got right,especially the word stuff at the end, which is an unfair conclusion to the quiz in any case.....

I had the computer science woman as best and the guy that looked like a Tolkien character/werewolf as the worst. They were both pretty good. The Youth Team won.

He was v. good considering English isn't his first language.

Dai Bank Jul 2016 9:10am, 26 Jul 2016 4,561 posts	0 Dai Bank Mrs DB and I compete too at UC, usually I ignore OC but as we had taped UC watched OC first. Mrs DB was on fire last night with both programmes. I managed a run of 5 correct answers to sneak a win at UC.
