Asking the questions - Jeremy Paxman.

0:00:200:00:24

Hello. In this contest, that has a little more grey around the temples than its student counterpart,

0:00:270:00:33

we've reached the final match of the first round.

0:00:330:00:35

Eight of our graduate teams have played so far

0:00:350:00:38

and the winners are:

0:00:380:00:40

But with only four places in the semi-final round,

0:00:430:00:46

tonight's teams will both know that they need to win

0:00:460:00:49

with a score of more than 125

0:00:490:00:51

to knock out Manchester and to qualify for that stage.

0:00:510:00:54

Student teams from Trinity College Cambridge have been serious champions twice

0:00:540:00:59

and on the latter occasion, they were captained by their first player tonight,

0:00:590:01:04

who should be able to swat away any maths questions directed at him

0:01:040:01:08

since he runs a bootcamp for school students training for the Maths Olympiads.

0:01:080:01:12

With him is a novelist, poetry anthologist and TV producer,

0:01:120:01:15

whose output for the screen includes a major slice of the UK's lifestyle programming,

0:01:150:01:20

from Grand Designs to Escape To The Country.

0:01:200:01:23

Their captain is also a grand fromage in that industry,

0:01:230:01:27

he is the inventor of QI

0:01:270:01:29

and has a CV that includes Not The Nine O'Clock News, Spitting Image and Blackadder.

0:01:290:01:34

His mantelpiece positively groans under the weight of the awards.

0:01:340:01:38

Finally, a familiar face and voice, founder member of Channel 4 News, diplomatic editor for ITN,

0:01:380:01:44

and for ten years, the only person on Radio 4's Today programme

0:01:440:01:47

who sounded as if he hadn't got out of the wrong side of his bed that morning!

0:01:470:01:51

Let's hear their own versions of themselves.

0:01:510:01:53

Hello. I'm Robin Bhattacharyya.

0:01:530:01:55

I graduated from Trinity in 1995 in maths

0:01:550:01:58

and now I'm a maths teacher.

0:01:580:02:00

Hello. I'm Daisy Goodwin.

0:02:000:02:02

I left Trinity in 1983, where I read history,

0:02:020:02:06

and now I'm a writer and TV producer.

0:02:060:02:08

-And their captain.

-Hello, I'm John Lloyd.

0:02:080:02:10

I graduated from Trinity in 1973 with a law degree

0:02:100:02:13

and I'm the founder and series producer of QI.

0:02:130:02:16

I'm Edward Stourton. I read English and graduated in 1979

0:02:160:02:19

and I present the Sunday programme on Radio 4.

0:02:190:02:22

APPLAUSE

0:02:220:02:25

Now, playing them is the team from St Andrews University.

0:02:250:02:29

First, a theatre director and actor

0:02:290:02:31

who had the single line, "Here's your hat, Father" in the film Howard's End,

0:02:310:02:35

but delivered it with such eye-catching verve

0:02:350:02:38

that it led to roles in Pride and Prejudice, Bridget Jones's Diary,

0:02:380:02:41

Absolutely Fabulous and Casino Royale.

0:02:410:02:44

With him, a journalist who spent three years as a correspondent in Moscow

0:02:440:02:48

before joining his present newspaper,

0:02:480:02:50

for which he's been political editor and Chief of the Rome Bureau.

0:02:500:02:54

Their captain is one of the BBC's most familiar sports broadcasters,

0:02:540:02:57

having presented Grandstand, Football Focus and the Open Golf Championships.

0:02:570:03:02

She should've picked up some tips on the way about captaincy, with any luck.

0:03:020:03:06

Failing that, she can defer to the former Commanding Officer of the Household Cavalry,

0:03:060:03:10

a lieutenant general, who's seen active service in the Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq.

0:03:100:03:15

Let's put the team from St Andrews on parade, then.

0:03:150:03:19

0:03:190:03:22

with a joint honours in Latin and Greek.

0:03:220:03:25

I now teach English at Alexandra Park School,

0:03:250:03:27

an outstanding comprehensive in Haringey.

0:03:270:03:31

Hello, I'm James Blitz. I graduated from St Andrews in 1983 in modern history

0:03:310:03:36

and I'm defence editor of the Financial Times.

0:03:360:03:38

-And their captain.

-Hello, I'm Hazel Irvine.

0:03:380:03:41

I graduated with an honours degree in the history of art in 1986

0:03:410:03:45

and I'm now putting that to full use as a sports broadcaster for BBC Television!

0:03:450:03:50

I'm Barney White-Spunner. I left St Andrews in 1978 with a degree in history and economics

0:03:500:03:55

and I've recently retired from the army.

0:03:550:03:57
