University Challenge- The Professionals

[macpark]

Well my friends, we have been and filmed the new series of this in Manchester as I told you we were going to. It was some of the most fun I have had for many a year and if any of you ever get the chance to take part then you should really go for it. I will have many lasting memories not least that from the waist up "Paxo" as they call him(!) may be sartorially elegant but from the waist down he was in a very comfortable pair of old cords!! I wont tell you how we got on just incase you like to watch it, but the series begins around March time and Salisbury Cathedral were pitted against the Rocket Scientists in the 5th first round match so it will be the fifth prog. in the series. Some of the amazing people on this site should definitely have a go - you may surprise yourselves!!

[Dustybun]

Good thinking Julie - how would be know which is who(!)?

[macpark]

I'm the scottish one with specs!!!
I go by the name of Hobkirk for this as my husband & daughter both sing in the choir there and are my principal connection with the place plus Mackenzie-Park would have been hard to fit on the front of the desk!!
