A programme I thoroughly enjoy but. . . . . .does anyone else see the gulf between those students who have obviously been privately educated and those who haven't?
Last night was classic-well deserved winners, for sure, but so obviously had access to subjects eg Latin and Greek gods that are just not touched on in state secondary schools

Back in my day the UC team at my red-brick university, as they were then known, was chosen by holding mock UC. As I commented in my last post. I do not think any of us were privately educated, although we would all have come from grammar schools.

Isn't it rather patronising to assume that it would not occur to universities other than Oxbridge to hold heats and practice?
