I enjoyed Amol Rajan breaking the fourth wall on University Challenge last night

  1. Don’t really know how you can break the fourth wall in a panel / quiz show when half the lines are delivered directly to the camera

  2. It’s only breaking the fourth wall if the conceit is meant to be a setting where the camera doesn’t ‘exist’ in the production. I wasn’t convinced about him taking over, but he’s a breath of fresh air!

  3. I know that it is a real matter of opinion, but I think Rajan is so much better than Paxman. I had started to get really frustrated with his stuffy and sometimes patronising approach, and Rajan made for such a breath of fresh air.

    Of course, each to their own.

  4. That lad was putting his whole body into that buzzer. Seemed to actually have hurt his wrist at one point. Bless him.
