Where The Hell Has University Challenge Disappeared To ?

[mikey4444]

Ruddy Chinese New Year !

[Cloverjo]

I was wondering that too. I don't know what the Chinese New Year has to do with it.
I apologise if I've missed some irony here. I don't always get things like that.

[mikey4444]

No irony intended Jo !

I watch very little TV these days but 20:00 hours on a Monday is one of the highlights of the week...my evening is planned around it !

[Cloverjo]

And no Only Connect either. What are we to do? ;)

[douglas9401]

There's always Tipping Point. :-D

[weecalf]

I was wondering where it went too .Fingers on buzzers .Starters for ten .Who at the BBC decided to ruin people's Monday evening ? I usually got three maybe four right on a good evening .

You can always watch old episodes of the show available on youtube still...

[pastafreak]

There was a special 3-day series on Chinese new year on BBC...it replaced mikey's beloved University Challenge.

[Cloverjo]

Haha, I started to watch Tipping Point yesterday as a quick fix for my quiz habit, but OH was soon laughing at me for watching such a dumb quiz. We run an amusement arcade, so watching people try to get coins out of a machine is not very interesting.

[weecalf]

That would be cheating I'd get 6 right then lol

You should do that, weecalf. Might improve your 'batting average'.

[Cloverjo]

Thank you, pasta freak. That's where the Chinese New Year came in!

[Svejk]

^I was a bit slow on the buzzer there.

[bhg481]

It's back next week but look on the bright side - the series will last one more week now that they've missed an episode.

[agchristie]

Is your OP a starter for ten Mikey?

[mikey4444]

I think its a bleeding liberty !

[elliemay1]

The qns on TP are laughable e.g From which city do Dubliners come?

[hellywelly4]

Good programme tonight Mikey, really close

[Peter Pedant]

St Johns and Peterhouse

tied at 150 - 150 and then erm one pulled away

a few of them looked familiar is this deja vu
or deja vu all over again ?

the slow drawly girl and the fella with the yellow mop who was discursively wrong - Humboldt ( two choices ) when the answer was Wien - I am sure I had seen them before

[Mamyalynne]

You recognised them because tonight was a quarter final , excellent show tonight.

very good this evening.....one captain is excellent at listening and consulting with the team, the one that won out. He/She will go far.......
