Change the current title holders to Warwick University


The 50th series just finished, and Warwick won, so it should be changed MrRespectfulP (talk) 01:08, 6 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Done Sincerely, Deauthorized. (talk) 04:25, 6 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Warwick won twice

edit

Under "Winners", it currently says that only six teams have won the title twice. Warwick, which won in 2007 and again in 2021 (this week), does not appear in the list of six. They should be included, and perhaps the number changed to seven (if that is in fact the correct number). Jehan mendis (talk) 10:14, 7 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Done. Well spotted, thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:18, 7 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

In the section of the page "Winners", there is a paragraph relating to lowest scores on the programme. It currently references a score of 15 as the lowest team score in the Paxman era, however the 2021/22 series episode 14, between Birmingham and Sussex has now set a new record lowest score of 10 points. 2A00:23C7:7188:9D00:5558:8BEE:4F16:D835 (talk) 23:53, 11 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Granada Television

edit

Can someone please explain why this articele says that University Challlenge is produced by ITV Granada, whden it is currently a BBC Two programme? YTKJ (talk) 17:51, 8 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

I've reworded it. It's currently made by Lifted Entertainment, that was previously the entertainment division of ITV Studios, which was previously the production wing of Granada Television. BBC Two broadcasts it, but they commission another production company to make it for them.  Dr Greg  talk  18:18, 8 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

By protecting this article, you seal in the rot

Currently this article states and has done since known vandals from NCR Corporation, Duluth, Georgia, US at‎ 192.127.94.7 talk‎ wrote added it on 10:26, 28 November 2016:

The split-screen presentation during the starter question phase, which appears to place one team physically above the other. In the final years of the original Bamber Gascoigne era, the studio set genuinely was two-tiered, although the split-screen effect returned for the revived series and has been used ever since;

Are you kidding me? That was the point of the joke on The Young Ones. The two college teams have always been shwon in any broadcast in split screen using Chroma key in the early series. How could anyone be so stupid to think they went to all that expense to build a two-tiered set?

It should be reverted to the previous version, yes the 6.5 year old one:

The instantly recognisable split-screen presentation, which appears to place one team physically above the other (parodied by an actual double-decker set in the mock edition of the programme in The Young Ones – see below);

Un-freaking-beleivable!!! If you lot spent more time focusing on content instead of playing one upmanship embarrassing drivel like this might get spotted within in five years instead of almost seven!80.189.122.156 (talk) 21:20, 29 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

They did have a two tier set circa 1987, there's a screenshot of it here. Bob talk 12:54, 31 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
