Bristol’s winning University Challenge team has dismayed TV viewers by not recognising the voice of award-winning singer Elvis Costello. Fans of the show were dismayed that the team could answer questions on high brow literature and science but struggled with popular culture.
But others said it was wrong to expect them to answer questions on 'dad rock' as they smashed University College London in the quarter finals tonight (Monday) of the long running BBC Two programme. Now the Bristol University Team, which won by 205 points to 70 on Sunday night, are being predicted to go all the way to the final.
The Bristol team had an average age of 21 and an average point score of 195 as they went into to face host Jeremy Paxman in the quarter finals. Rivals UCL had an average point score of 180 and an older average age of 41.
