As the captain of the University of St. Andrews University Challenge team, I should advise readers that our first-round match, against City University, will be televised this forthcoming Monday (December 8th), at 8:30pm on BBC2. Tune in!

How do you choose people for the team? my friend's cousin did it once and he said it was just a case of "who wants to do it?" and then they chose the first 4 that answered.

It was considerably more rigorous here. Eloise Govier and Ralph Covino - to whom considerable credit should go - organised a preliminary quiz round in the Union, which was attended by sixty or seventy people, from whom the top eleven were then interviewed and five (four team members plus a reserve) were selected to go forward to the official University Challenge interviews. From there, Granada - who produce the programme for the BBC - chose the twenty-four teams who would compete in televised rounds.

Oh yeah - I was going to let everyonr know about that. A friend of mine who was on the team has been terrorising everyone she knows to watch it! 
Anyone know if it'll be shown at the Union?

I can't think who you mean...
No, team is entirely public. Besides myself, they are: Hugo Rainey; Hope Fotheringham; and George Bulmer.

Just thought I'd bump this thread back up the order, lest anyone forget the impending TV event...

Mr Wilson, you appal me. I thought that if anybody in this town respected traditions it would be you.
Where was the negative score? where was the worthy-of-entry-into-the-record-books low mark? Where was the shame heaped upon this institution.
You may have won this round, but at what cost the the historic and traditional reputation of this University?
