60 years on since University Challenge first appeared on British television, the show holds the record for the UK’s longest running quiz. To mark the occasion, this documentary tells the stories behind some of the series most memorable contestants, including Eric Monkman, Gail Trimble, Sandya Narayanswami and Jenny Ryan, as well as taking a look at the job of the question setters and paying tribute to the first question master, Bamber Gascoigne. Finally, former students are once again put to the test to see if they can still correctly answer their successful starters for 10.
