I assume I’m the only person here who is saddened by this. Or, in fact, even knows what University Challenge is.
Jeremy Paxman leaving University Challenge!

That is, indeed, a disappoiintment. I much preferred him to Bamber Gascoigne, a pre-eminent theatre historian in his own right, but a little twee as a presenter, for my taste.

I met Jeremy at an event in 2015 just after he stopped Newsnight. I asked him if he was ever going to stop UC as well and he said, "absolutely not." What a liar!
Wish him well, he's lately looking like he needs a full retirement.
