I got two out of the three and was a little surprised my borther didn't get the Star Wars one, we both knew we'd seen it somewhere.
Bit disapointing the picked Goa'uld from Stargate, they could ahve made it a bit harder and gone for Asgard or Ancient, likewise with the StarTrek one (a bit of Vulcan, Romulan, or Ferengi would have presented a much sterner challenge).

I'll get me coat :D

I watched it last night and was on fire.

I reckon I got around 15-20 of the answers! :D

Some were guesses though, I knew that Ming and Stratosphere would both turn up in their respective bonus questions so gave them as the answer for all three. :P

It is funny when a team gives the same answer to all three and it's never right, or they change it at the last one, and they should have stuck with it. Usually when an arts team has to name periodic elements or a physics team has to name books by Thomas Hardy.

Yes but is shows the narrowness of some institutions teaching.

I got 13 last night :D

Although I only gave myself the point if I said the answer out loud :D

Would have had 15 or 16 otherwise.

No it doesn't, it shows how some people handle answering questions in an unusually pressurised situation.

I thought the Arts team did very well, a good broad question/knowledge base. Unfortunately for Imperial, a starter win was followed on too many occasions by an Arts based bonus set. A little one sided? I have no affiliation, it was just an observation and the best team won.

Yeah I did think the same.

Although there were a fair few that Arts got and the bonuses were all science questions.
