I love them both Bathy, especially UC. I just love it when those expensively educated young toffs can answer a question about quantum physics and covalences, or other such high-level stuff, but have never heard of Mozart !

Years ago I bought a foam brick, that you can throw at the telly, and it is always much in evidence when UC is on !

PS...I wonder who is looking after the newly arrived Coren-Mitchell sprog.......David perhaps !

PPS...I wonder if Victoria has got her smashing figure back ! The best looking bit of crumpet on the TV today, by far !

UC is my favourite , always has been.

[Ken4155]

Great that both return on the same evening.

Not only UC and OC...but a new series of Two Tribes starts at 6pm on BBC2. I wasn't sure about it at first, but became quite addicted...it certainly moves at a pace rather than one question drawn out over several minutes, like some.

Some UC students are, dare I say, common working class ex grammar school tykes don't you know

[mikey4444]

Retrocop...LOL ! Well, if they are, they never seem to get onto UC very often.

What's Chambers say about "sprog"?

[Ken4155]

^^^

Offensive term for crumpet's offspring:-)

Bathy.... here is a direct quote from Victoria ::

We've got a daughter!!! Barbara Elizabeth June Mitchell, very small and sweet. All three of us are extremely happy and sleepy.....22nd of May 2015

[Baldric]

Retro, just checked, refers to Sprog as 'slang'

[Marshwarble]

I think the show's pre-recorded so I'd imagine she was pregnant at the time.

[mikey4444]

Good point Marshwarble !

[hellywelly4]

Some people don't like her but I think she is brilliant, so dry. Her late father was fantastic - I think he used to be on The News Quiz with Richard Ingram

[hellywelly4]

Sorry - Ingrams

[DTCwordfan]

I'm a fan of UC, not so much of OC.......

[Ken4155]

^^

UC is a well established programme. OC is probably an acquired taste.

[Bathsheba]

hellywelly,...I haven't Googled, but I remember her father used to write a regular column for a newspaper....shall Google later when I'm not cooking ;)
