0:00:32 > 0:00:35Instead, this programme finds itself locked in a frankly rather
0:00:35 > 0:00:40awkward embrace with the festive spirit, as 14 teams of alumni
0:00:40 > 0:00:43compete on behalf of the institutions that nurtured them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45To qualify for a team,
0:00:45 > 0:00:48all we ask each player is that they actually went to the place

0:00:52 > 0:00:56make their mark, or at least a faint smudge, in their chosen field.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58They are all playing for nothing more than
0:00:58 > 0:01:00the glory of their university, plus the chance to look
0:01:00 > 0:01:04unutterably smug when they are named series champions.
