The 3rd Degree

Series 9

Royal Holloway, University of London

Duration: 28 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LWLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 Extra

Steve Punt hosts the battle of wits as three students from Royal Holloway, University of London take on their professors.

A funny and dynamic quiz show with specialist subjects including Criminology, English and Law.

Questions range from Louis XIV to Lego via yowling and yodelling.

The rounds are cunningly devised to test not only the students' knowledge of current affairs, history, languages and science, but also their Professors' awareness of TV, sport, and quite possibly Ed Sheeran.

In addition, the Head-to-Head rounds see students take on their Professors in their own subjects, offering plenty of scope for mild embarrassment on both sides.

Producer: David Tyler

A Pozzitive production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in July 2019. Show less
