3rd Degree: Series 1-7

A quiz show hosted by Steve Punt (star of BBC Radio 4's The Now Show and the brains behind Horrible Histories) where a team of three University students take on a team of three of their professors.

The rounds vary between Specialist Knowledge and General Knowledge, quickfire bell-and-buzzer rounds and 'Highbrow and Lowbrow'. Which of the students will turn out to be complete trivia-boffins? Will the Lecturers reveal they know more about Beyonce than Barthes? There's plenty of scope for embarrassment on both sides...
