This episode coming from Robinson College, Cambridge, The 3rd Degree is a funny, upbeat and brainy quiz show.

The specialist subjects this week are Law, English and Spanish, and so there’ll be questions involving eggshells, stilts, plums, dragons and the Bolivian Navy. Plus exciting updates about Cillian Murphy and Sir Alec Douglas-Â鶹ԼÅÄ.

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.
