    So what will be the next "Irish Geography"?

    Somebody picked Irish Pop Music the other day too.

    I suggest we all get behind Canadian Politics now :)

    I've watched University Challenge my whole adult life which is about 20 years now, so I'd be interested to have somebody pick that category that's come up a few times now.

    I'd be surprised if I'd be able to do well in it though as it'll probably be to name the Universities that have won it, and I don't really pay attention to that side of it.

    Other than that, I'd love something like a Game of Thrones final round question.

    ^ Somebody mentioned it before that maybe one question would be name any cast member of the film "Starter for 10".

    The British and Irish Lions was a regular unchosen category for a while as well. Has anyone picked that yet?

    I missed the Irish Pop Music round when it was on a while ago.:(

    Yep. A Welsh pair picked it a few weeks ago. Got 3 pointless answers and I think maybe 2 more during their deliberations. Was quite impressive.

    The last run of repeats came from midway through series 6 - so if another run does indeed begin on 2 December, they'll probably advance to the start of series 7.

    Which would almost certainly mean a repeat of the episode won by Paul and the lovely Emma... :D:D:D;););)
    They are starting from episode 42 of series 6 on Monday.

    IIRC there was a general round a few weeks ago asking for UK cities not in England and Lisburn was also a pointless answer. Coleraine and Newry might have been zero also.
