He was just SO enthusiastic about it all

Whoops!

Not to mention his amazing name

Bobby Seagull. Quite possibly the best name to feature on #UniversityChallenge. Ever.

The jokes were too easy to make

Whoops!

"Look at #Seagull's face when they ask a question." "He's thinking about chips." Got a laugh. Still not bored. #UniversityChallenge

Now, we wait for his next move

Bobby Seagull Investigates. I'd watch that! Ward could be his bookish secretary who helps out at the homeless shelter. #UniversityChallenge
