People on twitter reckon it's been taskmaster tasks she's doing.

End of another era...

I think it was time though, as sad as I am to see him go, he had slowed up a lot in the last series.

(Am I right in thinking that most recent UC discussion was in this Only Connect thread??)

Only Connect

University Challenge

New series of both start on Monday 17th July at the usual time.

The new set, graphics and presenter on UC are a disaster!

Amol Rajan starts off at a hundred miles an hour, and by the finish of the programme is spitting questions and answers out so fast I can't understand a word he's saying. And he has absolutely no charisma or interaction with the contestants.

And that girl team captain tonight was sooooo annoying on about 15 different levels.

Just makes me appreciate Only Connect all the more, though 😍 I am SO happy it's back on!!!

I think these first round episodes of OC have been harder than previous series round one, I'm haven't gotten as many correct as I remember in other years.

I agree on the set of UC, it's too bright or something.

I don't think it's fair or decent to be making personal comments about the contestants though, so I'll leave that to others
