Yule & Murray 6 starters each and both contributed to the bonuses tho the loads of Lit questions were in Yule's favour. Funny how Yule only smiled when he killed the cricket bonuses while Murray more sedate when he killed Tolkien's LOTR bonuses! This episode way too easy hence the super high score of 360.

Once upon a time, the US show College Bowl originated this format. Today, such a program would be impossible in America. Conversations are limited in complexity these days - and I'm in NYC, where conditions are more favorable than in many places. As our current leader would say - err, Tweet: "Sad." PS - in addition, the British panel show format (also once popular in the USA) which relies on breezy extemporaneous wit for it's own sake would as well be a non-starter. Not being an American self-hater, just sayin'

I look forward to a new posting of this show every Monday. And you are quite right: There is no show in America where contestants are encouraged to display their mettle in a fun, but serious, no-nonsense way; and should such an enterprise be attempted, it is sure to fall shy of the mark because of needless bombast, unclassy cultural quirkiness, and even, perhaps, a deficiency of academic rigor.

I've been away for a few seasons and I've just been noticing quite a few categories about women's achievement, people of colour etc, not that i mind that they are the answers , it's just interesting that they started categorizing in that manner. So instead of having a more general category and then narrowing it down by the question, they have already narrowed it down by the category. I.E; ("category (sometimes including nationality)" + "question (often including nationality)" + "clue clue clue"), are instead; ("category (nationality/gender/ethnicity/sexuality)" + "question" + "clue clue clue"). So the contestants have more information to go by, for those categories, before they get the clues. I then, admittedly, a bit provokingly, concluded that it had to be the SJW's because they seem to be obsessed with the segmentation of society and life into gender, sexuality and ethnicity.
