University of Sheffield
Steve Punt hosts the battle of wits as students from the University of Sheffield take on their professors. From July 2018.
A funny and dynamic quiz show hosted by Steve Punt - this week from the University of Sheffield.
Specialist subjects including Archaeology, Dental Hygiene and Dental Therapy, and Civil Engineering and the questions ranging from Blockchain and Xerostomia to Big Shaq and Slime.
Recorded on location at a different University each week, and it pits three Undergraduates against three of their Professors in an original and fresh take on an academic quiz.
The rounds vary between Specialist Subjects and General Knowledge, quickfire bell-and-buzzer rounds and the Highbrow and Lowbrow round cunningly devised to test not only the students' knowledge of current affairs, history, languages and science, but also their Professors' awareness of television, sport, and quite possibly Justin Bieber. In addition, the Head-to-Head rounds see students take on their Professors in their own subjects, offering plenty of scope for mild embarrassment on both sides.
Producer: David Tyler
A Pozzitive production for BBC Radio 4 first broadcast in July 2018.
