Outside BBC1 and ITV1, last night's top audience was 2.84m for the second semi-final of Christmas University Challenge. Gonville & Caius, Cambridge were led to victory by former BBC News-man/Controller of Radio 4, Mark Damazer.
It's an all-Cambridge final at 8.30 tonight - versus Emmanuel, led by Simon Singh.
The Caius team is well-balanced, with Lars Tharp of the Antiques Roadshow a quiet prompter of Damazer, when he's (only occasionally) uncertain. Interestingly, the quartet could have been cast several times over - what about Damazer contemporaries, such as Alastair Campbell, Keith Vaz - or the next generation, like Stephen Mangan, Alain de Botton and Jimmy Carr ?
