University ChallengeBBC iPlayer, till Monday 8.30pm
The search for the new Gail Trimble ("CORPUS CHRISTI, TRIMBLE!") has begun. Over the weeks, Barking At The Television will be rating this year's contenders in a sort of Spod Idol competition, judged on their x factor. Or rather a number of x over y to the power of 10 divided by π factors. This week's contender...
WARWICK, CHRISTMAS
Encyclopaedic knowledge? Was the best on his team, but made some intemperate interruptions and earned a telling off from Paxo. 3/5
Somehow both smug and embarrassed? Regulation smugness to begin with, then mortified after the 'Carly Simon' incident. 3/5
Bizarrely alluring? Not really - wears a grey shirt and looks like a young Lloyd Cole. 1/5
Name that's great when you shout it like Roger Tilling just before the gong?
Come on, the guy's called Christopher Christmas. Brilliant shouting material. 5/5
Total... 12/20
