Making my first ever post on here to let those of you who've found me know that, beginning with the forthcoming Christmas specials, (most of) the #UniversityChallenge stuff I post on the other site will be posted on here as well, albeit probably not quite as promptly.
OK, here are tonight's individual scores. #UniversityChallenge

A low(ish) scoring start to the QFs, but another solid performance and win from Edinburgh; best of luck to them and Manchester in their respective next matches! #UniversityChallenge

Excellent first regular episode of the New Year tonight. Well played Merton, another solid performance that stands them in good stead for the QFs; best of luck to them there, and thanks to Churchill for playing, a capable team who'd have beaten another opponent. #UniversityChallenge

Pretty decent semi-final tonight, either team's game until Keble ran ahead at the end; well done them and best of luck in the final, and thanks to UCL for playing again! #UniversityChallenge

An enjoyable contest tonight, and last night as well; apologies I couldn't cover that one last night, but it was on at the same time as #DeathInParadise. Anyway, thanks to all four teams involved for coming back and playing again! #UniversityChallenge

Very impressive performance fron Trinity tonight, Mr Bhattacharyya especially; I'd be very surprised if we don't see them again next week. Best of luck to them then, and thanks to Bristol for coming back and playing again. #UniversityChallenge

Excellent performance from Keble tonight; should easily be a good enough score to bring them back next week! Best of luck to them then, and thanks to Hull for playing (again), another team who'd have done better against different opponents. #UniversityChallenge

Great performance from UCL tonight; hard luck to Leeds to come up against that, they proved themselves capable enough when they did get in. Thanks to them for playing; UCL's score will probably be good enough to bring them back next week, best of luck to them then! #UniversityChallenge
