Re: Britcoms & University Challenge

Find it if you can. Although only the last few
minutes of the show is the actual competition, the
episode as a whole is one of the best Young Ones they
made. Rik and Neil's cram session on the train is
frighteningly accurate if you've ever seen anyone actually
trying to study before a tournament, and Vivian's
strategy for winning the game has flown through my head
many times in actual competition. Look for Emma
Thompson in one of her early roles as Miss Moneysterling
on the team from Oxbridge College. Funny,
intelligent, and full of mindless violence.
