My team's unlikely triumph on the 'fiendishly difficult' University Challenge When the call came from the BBC asking if I would like to assemble a team from the Idler for a "professionals" series of University Challenge, I was beside myself with excitement. This must surely be the adult equivalent of an appearance on Blue Peter. I thought, however, that we would have no chance of winning....
