‘Botticelli, swill buckets and Paris Hilton’

Published by Juliet Eve | Filed under Announcements

yes, it can only be … University Challenge. This year we are very pleased that a team from Brighton University has made it through to the televised stages of the competition. Filiming will take place in Manchester in June. And, what is a quiz team without a librarian? One of our current MA Information Studies students, Beth Hewitt, has been selected for the University of Brighton’s team. Beth (pictured) says: ‘Having already demonstrated enough knowledge of Botticelli, swill buckets and Paris Hilton to have passed the auditions ,the team will be going to Manchester on the 21st June to take part in filming. It’s been an ambition of mine to go on the show for a long time so it is incredibly exciting to be finally doing it. It is also terrifying(!) I’m just hoping all those years of pub quizzes will finally pay off…’

We wish Beth, and the other team members (Stephen Blenkin (Captain), Ben Jordan and Jolyon Dales) the very best of luck.
