Louise McLoughlin takes Irish quiz talents Oscar Despard and Kevin Flanagan to a London pub for a less academic challenge, the pub quiz. Despard, who recently led his team to victory in University Challenge, and Flanagan, an AI PhD candidate from Bristol University, team up with McLoughlin to test their trivia knowledge. Despite McLoughlin's initial apprehension about her quiz contributions, the experience promises to be both humbling and entertaining as they navigate the informal quiz scene.
I've never been great at pub quizzes. So the opportunity to team up with two of Ireland's best and brightest minds promised some vindication - even if only as part of a team.
A win is a win, after all.
Despard, who is studying for a PhD in molecular biology, went on to lead Christ's College Cambridge to its first ever victory on the show, winning a tense final by just five points.
Flanagan captained the team from Bristol University, where he is doing a PhD in AI.
