In this episode, hosted by Victoria Coren, contestants discover that merely having knowledge isn't enough; they must also rely on their patience and creative thinking. In the third round of the quarter-finals, three Oxford PhD candidates take on a team of strategy enthusiasts who share a passion for complex board games. Their challenge is to uncover the links between seemingly unrelated topics, ranging from maypoles and horse racing to spoken theatre and mince pies.
