Brief Summary : Four appearances on University Challenge in 1984, reaching the quarter-finals. Nominally less successful in 1998, although by then Universities had to fight through preliminary rounds to appear on the program itself - we managed to make the last 28 out of 150 starters. Semi-finalist on Brain of Britain in 1999, losing the semi-final by one point. Semi-finalist on Mastermind 2001, 2004, 2011
