Three Anglia Ruskin University students take on their professors in the upbeat quiz.

Steve Punt hosts the battle of wits as three students from Anglia Ruskin University take on their professors. From March 2013.

Steve Punt hosts the lively and funny quiz show from Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge. 

A team of three students take on a team of three of their professors.

Specialist subjects include: Film Studies, Social Work and Graphic Design.

Questions range from gherkins and Gummi Bears to David Cronenberg and Delacroix, via Morris Dancing and Beyoncé.

It's all cunningly devised to test not only the students' knowledge of current affairs, history, languages and science, but also their Professors' awareness of television, film, and One Direction.

The resulting show is funny, fresh, and not a little bit surprising, with a truly varied range of scores, friendly rivalry, and moments where students wished they had more than just glanced at that reading list.

Producer: David Tyler

A Pozzitive production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in March 2013.
