Support your quizzing colleagues

Quiz master, Steve Punt
Come along and support two University teams going head to head with each other for the Radio 4 quiz the 3rd Degree. The show is being recorded this evening, Wednesday 27 October, in Palmer Lecture Theatre.
The show, hosted by comedian Steve Punt, has a team of three staff versus a team of three students, the twist being that each member of staff is "matched" by an undergraduate studying the subject they teach. The quiz is a mixture of general knowledge - to roughly University Challenge level - plus one specialist round when an academic goes ‘head-to-head' with the relevant student.
The staff involved are Dr Dominik Zaum, from Politics and International Relations, Dr David Brauner, from the English department, and Dr Alistair Grandison, from Food and Nutritional Sciences. The reserve is Dr David Nutt, from Chemistry. The undergraduate team is Jon Danneman (Politics and International Relations), James FitzGerald (English), Kirsten Judd (Food and Nutritional Sciences) and reserve Patrick McIntyre (Chemistry).
Doors open at 5.30pm for 6pm start. Once recording starts, latecomers will not be admitted.
