Keele University
A quiz hosted by Steve Punt where a team of three university students take on a team of their professors. This week, from Keele University.
Coming this week from Keele University, The 3rd Degree is a funny, upbeat and brainy quiz show.
The specialist subjects this week are film studies, medicine and law so the questions involve catabolics, contracts and Carry On up the Costa Plonka. And if you thought there were only eight states and territories in Australia, prepare to be mildly amazed.
TThe show is recorded on location at a different university each week, and pits three undergraduates against three of their professors in this fresh take on an academic quiz. The general knowledge rounds include a quickfire bell-and-buzzer finale and the Highbrow and Lowbrow round cunningly devised to test not only the students’ knowledge of history, art, literature and politics, but also their Professors’ awareness of TV, music and sport. Meanwhile there are the three specialist subject rounds, in which students take on their professors in their own subjects, and where we find out whether the students have actually been awake during lectures.
In this series, the show goes to Exeter, Strathclyde, Keele, King’s College London, Portsmouth, and Somerville College, Oxford.
