Well, what a contrast. The Cambridge anthropologist with an Irish accent (who is surely on livejournal, or knows people who are) scored 19 points on her specialised subject – the “Little House” books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. And the Scottish guy who chose the Rolling Stones had one of those mind-gone-blank moments, and scored only 3.
The general knowledge round was a bit more evenly distributed, but the pattern set in the first round was not broken.
And I felt very sorry for the student doctor on University Challenge who confused the ankle and the heel at a crucial moment…
I loved it too. My personal favourite — due to *my* medical complaints, was the one about the cow statues.
