Mathematicians v Wordsmiths

Episode 2 of 8

Quiz show with Victoria Coren in which connections must be made between seemingly unconnected things. Three maths graduates take on a team of wordsmiths.

Quiz show presented by Victoria Coren in which knowledge will only take you so far, as patience and lateral thinking are also vital.

Three maths graduates take on a team featuring a linguistics graduate, an English graduate and an IT developer who is also a proofreader. They compete to draw together the connections between things which, at first glance, seem utterly random, from 'drip dry' to 'equal by definition' to 'MPs' obligation to vote' to 'exit 300yds ahead'.
