UNIVERSITY CHALLENGE IS arguably the greatest TV show ever made. YOU MAY NOT CONFER!

Last night, it may have achieved its greatest triumph yet, securing the most University Challenge person ever to grace the BBC set.

Let’s take a look at how it panned out…

First of all, there were the outfits and general Harry Potter vibes

Whoops!

LoL at the fact that Walker character on #universitychallenge only made one peep the whole show and that was to name a Wes Anderson film.
