Making my first ever post on here to let those of you who've found me know that, beginning with the forthcoming Christmas specials, (most of) the #UniversityChallenge stuff I post on the other site will be posted on here as well, albeit probably not quite as promptly.

An enjoyable end to the first round tonight. Magdalen look a very good team and were worthy winners, but Robinson deserved to reach a respectable score late on; thanks to them for playing, and best of luck to Magdalen next time! #UniversityChallenge

An excellent contest tonight, started slowly then gradually got better as it went on; well done both teams, both of whom deserve to come back, best of luck to them when they do. #UniversityChallenge

OK, heads up: there's a football match on BBC2 on Monday the 13th, so that week's episodes of #UniversityChallenge, #OnlyConnect and #Mastermind will be shown on Tuesday the 14th instead.

Each correct bonus earns each player on the team one point, with the fifth going to the answerer of the starter that led to it.

Not the best contest tonight, but a pretty good showing from Strathclyde, Mr Stirling especially, and Harper Adams at least have it a go and came across well when they did get in; thanks to them for playing, and best of luck to Strathclyde in the next round! #UniversityChallenge

A very good show tonight, excellent performance from Merton, who look very much like a team to watch in the second round; best of luck to them there, and thanks to Durham for taking part, a good effort from them. #UniversityChallenge

An excellent high quality game tonight, two very good teams. Well done LSE, who look a very good team, and good luck next time! Hard lines to Trinity Hall, who I think would've beaten another team; thanks to them for playing! #UniversityChallenge

Another exciting end to a game, but, as the chairman said, what a shame for Green Templeton to lose like that after such an excellent second half recovery; thanks to them for playing, and best of luck to Darwin when they return! #UniversityChallenge

A good contest tonight, a dramatic ending, I think Lincoln deserved the win in the end. Well done them, and well played Lancaster, who could well have done enough to come back as well. #UniversityChallenge
