University Challenge: BBC host Amol Rajan meets Glasgow’s 'Walrus of Love'
Edinburgh University has qualified for the UK’s longest-running quiz show more times than any other single institution, said host Amol Rajan. Yet it has only won once, in 2019. The University of Leeds were determined to keep it that way in the latest of the competition’s first-round matches. Representing Leeds were: Finn Thompson from London, law; Ingrid Banerjee Marvin, Stoke-on-Trent, studying for a PhD in the experiences of marginalised football fans; Alex Tan, captain, from Colchester, computer science; and Jayan Patel, Leicester, working on a masters in mechatronics and robotics.
