University Challenge.

0:00:190:00:22

Asking the questions, Jeremy Paxman.

0:00:220:00:25

Hello, welcome to a new series of University Challenge

0:00:280:00:30

as students from across the land do battle in this studio

0:00:300:00:34

for the most prized trophy in the world of quizzing.

0:00:340:00:36

There is no money at stake, not even a soft toy memento,

0:00:360:00:40

the best they can expect is a £5 voucher

0:00:400:00:42

to buy themselves a meal in the canteen here.

0:00:420:00:45

They do it solely for fun, for glory

0:00:450:00:47

and to prove taxpayers' money is well spent on education.

0:00:470:00:50

Some of them just like showing off a bit, too.

0:00:500:00:52

Around 100 institutions applied to compete but the trophy

0:00:520:00:55

can only be captured by one of the 28 teams

0:00:550:00:57

who you will see over the next few weeks.

0:00:570:00:59

Let's meet the first two.

0:00:590:01:01

Trinity Laban is the UK's only Conservatoire

0:01:010:01:05

of both music and contemporary dance

0:01:050:01:07

and is made up of two institutions which joined forces in 2005.

0:01:070:01:11

The Trinity College of Music and the Laban Dance Centre,

0:01:110:01:15

named after the Hungarian choreographer Rudolf Laban.

0:01:150:01:17

It's blessed with two enviable campuses in London,

0:01:170:01:20

reflecting the old and new,

0:01:200:01:22

one being the King Charles Court at the old Royal Naval College

0:01:220:01:25

in Greenwich designed by Sir Christopher Wren,

0:01:250:01:27

the other being the Laban Building in Deptford

0:01:270:01:29

designed by Herzog and de Meuron

0:01:290:01:31

which won the Riba Stirling prize in 2003.

0:01:310:01:35

Past students include the conductor Sir John Barbirolli

0:01:350:01:37

and the choreographer Matthew Bourne.

0:01:370:01:40

The institution is making its debut on this series.

0:01:400:01:42

The team tell us they're keen to show that dancers and musicians

0:01:420:01:46

have more than one string to their bow. Ho ho.

0:01:460:01:49

Representing about 1,000 students with an average age of 25,

0:01:490:01:52

0:02:430:02:46

We're delighted to report they now have their own Facebook page
