I’m pleased to
see that Exeter did indeed get knocked out of
University Challenge by a championship side, but I do
wish people would stop making vast generalisations
about what the show says about our culture/society. I
haven’t read an article yet that hasn’t
used the programme to illustrate some vague point
about falling standards or the value of a classical
education. It’s a quiz show. It just happens to
be the visible peak of a world of intelligence that
hides itself away at University. Look deeper.
