Excellent contest tonight, a slow burner that got better as it went on; hopefully LSE have done enough to come back in the play-offs, but thanks to them for now, and best of luck to King's in the second round! #UniversityChallenge
Seems TPTB are determined not to air Birmingham vs Leicester for some reason, been postponed again; LSE vs King's Cambridge now on tomorrow's #UniversityChallenge. No #Mastermind as well, it's back a week tomorrow.
