2. University of St Andrews
A quiz hosted by Steve Punt where a team of three University students take on a team of their professors. This week, from the University of St Andrews.
This episode coming from the University of St Andrews, The 3rd Degree is a funny, upbeat and brainy quiz show.
The specialist subjects this week are English, Computer Science and Philosophy so we’ll be meeting a glistering goldfish, a Belgian biscuit, a Peruvian bird and Nietzsche. Oh, plus Bambi and a Japanese Water Zither.
The 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 & 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 Leicester, St Andrews, Loughborough, Falmouth, the University of East Anglia and Robinson College, Cambridge.
