University Challenge

[another-view]

I saw the back end of this last night and the first thing I noticed was the change from the rather sedate "Oxford - Montgomery" announcement when one of the contestants buzzed in to something more like Murray Walker screaming hysterically on the last lap of the British Grand Prix!

How long has this been happening? It doesn't add to the show.

[Tallulah!]

For ages.
I thought he'd have apoplexy before the end. He ruins the show. I'm going to write and complain. He has a name but I forgot to make a note of it. I'm surprised Jeremy doesn't tell him to pipe down!

missed it last night. they've changed the 6.30 itv news too.

Must be to do with the start of November. Folk can't leave well enough alone :D

Far too much shouting on TV nowadays, The worst being masterchef, or any programmes on BBC3.
BTW, did you see the transvestite on Uni Challenge lase week?

Does he start off normally and work up to that frenzy?
I've missed it for the last few weeks.
While I laughed initially, it soon became very distracting.

[Tallulah!]

He/She was a clever transvestite though. Chosen for brains I think!

[carrust]

He/she hadn't much dress sense though:-)

Just watched credits on iplayer.
It's the 'Voice of Roger Tilling'
Get complaining, another-view.

I noticed that last night too-it got a bit much at the end, I was waiting for him to shout more than I was listening for the answer. Did anyone else think the captain of one of the teams look like he could be the son of Princess Diana? He looked more like her than her own boys do.

Roger Tilling has been shouting out the scores for the last eight years or so .
Bit late to complain now .
Admittedly he does get a bit frantic towards the end especially when it's a close run contest but he is live in the studio and has to keep his eye on the buzzer and cope with some unpronounceable surnames sometimes Considering Paxo and his " come on ,come on" I'd be a bit frantic .It all adds to fun for me .I've been a fan of UC since the Bamber Gascoigne days .
As for Olivia Woolley I think transgender is a kinder term ..A research student researching something that I wouldn't know the first thing about .There have been some horrible totally unnecessary remarks made about her on the web .I think she's a very brave intelligent person .

He's not been shouting like a madman for 8 years though. He never used to get that wild.

Surely Jeremy could say the one to answer. Or does he have poorly eyes?
I've watched since the beginning. I met Bamber once, when his book came out. He put on a 15-1 type quiz. I was rubbish!
