University Challenge Special
Kirsty Wark hosts a special edition of the quiz show as stars from the BBC and ITV go head-to-head for BBC Children in Need.
For one night only, Jeremy Paxman hands over the reins to journalist and broadcaster Kirsty Wark, who hosts the proceedings as famous faces from the BBC and ITV compete against each other in separate teams for BBC Children in Need.
Rick Edwards leads Team BBC and will be helped by Radio 4’s Mishal Husain, Mock the Week comedian Angela Barnes and impressionist Jon Culshaw from Radio 4’s Dead Ringers.
Team ITV is led by broadcaster and journalist Kaye Adams and consists of celebrity guests Dr Ranj Singh, comedian Russell Kane and Loose Women’s Denise Welch.
Both teams will be giving it their all for BBC Children in Need, but who will emerge victorious in this star-studded battle of the brains?
