Synopsis

An ever youthful Peter Sinclair (C’mon, Mastermind) presides over this quiz show final with students from Waikato and Auckland universities competing for bragging rights (and 80s personal computers). Subjects cover the arts and sciences, with each successfully answered starter earning bonus questions. Auckland captain (and future MP) Charles Chauvel joins the ‘academic-quiz-show-as-kindergarten-for-aspiring-politicians’ tradition (see: Lockwood Smith hosting W Three). Chauvel sagely stays away from undergraduate humour in his intro — unlike his fellow contestants.
